For my final challenge card today, I used the “Buds & Blooms” stamp set.  And by gosh… it’s on SALE right now! 25% off all weekend long!  Make sure you check out the Frugal Friday event this weekend!

One of my favourite parts of summer is all the wonderful blooms we get to see around our neighbourhood.  My next door neighbour has an amazing garden.  I, on the other hand, I don’t have a green bone in my body let alone a green thumb!  So I enjoy their gardens all season long instead.

Thanks for joining me today!  I hope you get a chance to check out what the rest of the Krafty Girls have created to show “SUMMER”!  Find more inspiration HERE.  A big thank you to Kim Reid and all of her Design Team for having me all month long.   Thanks ladies!  I had a blast creating with all of you!
