Life Is Good!

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far. It is supposed to be beautiful here in New England tomorrow. I can't wait! I created this card for the Lilli of the Valley Challenge 57 challenge this week. I absolutely love their stamps, they are so adorable. This week they had a great sketch to work with. I love this image with the little boy enjoying the day and I thought it was perfect to use for my card. These 3 colors aren't normally what I use together but when I found this piece of scrap DP in my pile I knew it would work.


Here are a few other challenges that fit my card

Crazy For Challenges C4C46-This challenge this week is to use buttons on your creation. I love the look of buttons on a boy's card!

Allsorts Challenge 61-This challenge's theme this week is "Summer Days". How perfect a summer day is for a nap under a tree.

Crafty Ann's Challenge #19-for this challenge you need to pick a song by Sir Cliff Richard. I chose All you Have To Do Is Dream, I think it is perfect for my card!

Just Us Girls Challenge #42-This week the challenge is a color challenge, orange, green, navy, and cream. Great color combo!


These are all wonderful challenges be sure to stop by and check them out and maybe even play along!
