Cardz TV Challenge #100

Happy New Year everyone!  I took a break from my blog for a while.  I spent so much time crafting before the holidays that I just needed time to catch up on the rest of my life!  I am back and ready to start crafting again.

Cardz TV Challenge #100  - "It's June in January!"  Make a card for any occasion, using any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like, with Summer as your theme.

I made this card for my brother who loves to go on long motorcycle rides in the summer.  His birthday is this week and he lives in NJ so it is a little cold to ride right now but I figured he could dream about taking his bike out!
