Scrapbook Layouts & Companion Cards Week

Hi all..

I hope that you all had a great weekend. This week, I am going to showcase some Scrapbook Layouts as well as some cards. So, for today, here is a card that I created. The Base Card is from a K & Co Paper Pack. I love stripes and bold colors and geometric shapes....so picking this paper was easy for me to gravitate to. I hope you like the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
