I hope everyone is having a good week! I can't believe it is August already. The weather here is still hot and humid. My garden looks totally wilted! I go out to water and the mosquitos start to swarm. You know it's bad when even the dog wants back in the house!
I told you last week our Boy Scout Troop was hosting a troop that was riding from Illinois to Niagara Falls. Some of our scouts escorted them 25 miles out and then returned home . My husband, son and daughter took the 50 mile trek and did very well considering how hot it is here. My job was rescue vehicle driver - like all good scouts you need ot be prepared for anything. I had the bike rack on the back of my car and was ready with Gatorade and mobile air conditioning. Fortunately no one required assistance and the adventure was complete with no incidents.
Things are back to normal now so had some time to work on my card for the CR84FN color challenge. My favorite thing about participating in a challenge is that it gets me to try something new and step out of my comfort zone. I know when I start working on a card I tend to gravitate to the same colors or a particular style. Lately it seems like alot of purples for me so this week isn't such a big stretch - but sometimes I don't know where to begin! Here's my card - I hope you like it!

Stamp: Just Rite Stampers Heart to Heart
Die Cuts: Spellbinders Lattice Pendant, Labels 18, and Just Rite Custom Rectangle
Ribbon: Hug Snug Lavender
