We absolutely LOVE creating each week with all of you and look forward to the incredibly inspiring gallery each week.  However, in July, our DT members have quite a few obligations and traveling (something we couldn't do last year, and want to make sure our team feels free to travel and meet their obligations), so we have decided as a team to take a card posting break in July.  We have challenges ready to go for August, and can't wait to begin again when everyone is home safely from their travels.  We hope you, too, can travel some in July, get outdoors, get together with loved ones and enjoy the sunshine!  

We will post the winner of this challenge on July 8th, so you have until July 7th 11:55 pm PST to get a card (or two) created for this challenge!

   And now, how are you inspired this week?

                          Summer fun?  Footwear?  polka dots?  Tons of fun color?
