Inspiration Challenge #02Happy Thursday to all!!!
Have you ever been to Napa Valley? It is definitely a return destination for me and my family. It was my second visit and I just love it. For today's inspiration, I made this card using the Branch Out set. I know it doesn't even come close on how I remembered the beautiful scenery in Napa but this card speaks of how easy it is to find inspiration. I sure hope you can play along.
