A long weekend and some catch up for the finale of Summer Card Camp!

A photo of the highlight of our trip, first...

Dan is a pretty good sport. I should have gotten a photo of him at the other fantastic place we visited (Creations Galore in Green Bay)... in his words, "That was my favorite crafting store, ever." They had a TV and a chair set up in a special area in their store... just for him.

So, now the catch up from the final days of Summer Card Camp 2...

We're on our last week of Summer Card Camp 2.

A couple of really neat techniques today (and of course new sketches and a new color combination)...
