Well my friends, I just got back from vacation, my daughter and I went on a 7-day cruise and we had a blast. I'll share pictures very soon. For today's blog hop, I wanted to create a card as bright and happy as the vacation we just had. I used the Simple Stories - Summer Fresh 6x6 paper pad, which I think it is just perfect for what I had in mind. Take a look at my card:
