  16. Any summer camp where I don’t have to deal with the Tennessee sun and humidity is a summer camp for me. I never went as a kid because I chose to hang out with my grandparents and go fishing with my grandfather and work with him in his garden during the summer. Though I probably missed out on lots of fun, the memories of being with my grandparents all summer every summer are unforgettable. Thanks for the opportunity to attend this camp..it sounds really cool!

  22. Oh Wow! What a generous chance. I grew up going to summer camp and now have the chance to send my kids to camp too! I just loved the time away to focus on being a kid. Being a part of card camp would bring back some of the focus time and I can feel like a kid again!

  23. I’ve already signed up and can’t wait for it to start! Thanks for the chance to win.

Thank you for the chance to win a spot!

  54. ooooh I would LOVE to be able to attend! I haven’t been able to craft in over a year because I was overseas, and this would be the perfect opportunity for me to ease back into things after being away for so long. I think a summer camp “just for me” is a wonderful idea – it gives me time to do something that will help recharge my batteries and allow me to be more effective in other areas of my life too.

  55. I’ve signed me kids up for some summer camps so it would be nice if I could do one too! It would make great use of my time while they are out.

  59. I have never been to a summer camp. They are not the done thing over here in the UK and certainly didn’t exist at all when I was a kid, so I’ve never had that experience. But one just for crafting would be heaven bundled up in some cardstock, stamps and ribbon!

  60. How Fun! I’d love to do this! I was so hoping to get a ticket to the Stamp-A-Faire for my daughter and I…but didn’t…so doing this would be a wonderful experience, I think. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to win.

  62. you ever have one of those days where you feel like you just need to do something for your self? welllll at this time a summer camp just for me sounds REALLY good!

  115. Summer camp?! I thought those days were over! What a unique opportunity it would be to participate–thank you for the chance, Nicole!

  117. My closest source for class taking is 45 minutes away, so to be able to take a class at home would be lovely.

  120. Love, love, love this class! I am a stay at home mom with a hubby that travels a ton. It is very hard to find time for myself and it is hard to find things that I can do at home (without getting a sitter that is). This is perfect and it is coming at the perfect time for me. I really need to find something just for me. Crossing my fingers!

  121. I worked at a 4-H summer camp one year and this sounds like much more fun that wrangling teenage kids! I’d love to win a slot in this AMAZING class!! Thanks for the chance!

  135. This sounds fantastic. My favorite memories are of camp. And one where I do not have to pack and hike to. Great!

  136. This sounds like the perfect place for me! I recently had to back out at the last minute (and forfeit the pre-paid fees, of course) from two classes I had been looking forward to, all due to some unexpected health issues. The idea of having access to all of this wonderful material, and the amazing skills of the guest designers — that’s an extraordinary combination! Thank you so much for offering this lovely opportunity!

  137. This sounds so fun! I’d love to participate in the summer card camp! I’m also a big fan of both Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire. One of Kristina’s cardmaking videos is what got me started with Papertrey Ink 2 years ago! 🙂

  138. I think the whole idea is just fabulous. I love the idea of a Summer Camp where I don’t have to sleep on a cot or in a tent. Can’t wait.

  141. Taking an online class is a mystery to me, wondering how it works etc . But does sound like fun so I’m hoping to get a spot.

  142. And I just met Jennifer when she was in Buffalo Ny @ Buffalo Stamps and stuff. I couldn’t take her class but met her when I was there “cropping” friday night.

  143. I think summer camp for grown-ups is a great idea! Especially one where you are inside in the a/c!
    Thanks!

  144. What an exciting concept! I watched the video and visited the website and am totally excited! A summer camp for card making is just what I need to put some spark back into my cards!

  147. Summer camp for me sounds fabulous! They would serve wine and cheese instead of hot dogs and fruit punch, they would offer exercise classes and spa sessions. Of course there would be scrapbooking and card making for arts and crafts!

  149. Wow! There are so many talented names participating in the Summer Camp! Thanks for a chance to win!

  150. I am SO excited about the idea of this class!! Taking some time just for me to create…ahhhhhh, there’s nothing better. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  151. This sounds like so much fun! We don’t really have summer camps here in the Netherlamds, but it sounds like so much fun! We weon’t go on vacation this summer, ’cause my hubby has a new job and has not yet built up days off yet…. So I could use a fun summer camp to enjoy some me time!! And have fun!

    The Summer Card Camp sounds like a fantastic idea for an adult summer camp! I can participate without ever leaving my comfy home!

  171. I would love to attend Summer Card Camp. My husband was just diagnosed with cancer and has started chemo so I would love a little crafty girl time to take me away from it all even for just a little while.

  178. What could be better! Camp retreats without mosquitoes! While drinking bug juice (on the trail Kool aid) was fun, making cards with cute colorful bugs would be even better. To be able to share cleverly made cards with friends afterward would be a great camp memory. Thanks for the kind offer to sponsor three card makers. Jan

Between volunteering for our church’s vacation bible school, Cub Scout Day camp in July (think hot, sticky, and lots of screaming boys running around and getting as filthy as possible, lol) and teaching an intensive 5-week night class in Trigonometry next month, my summer has very little “me time” in it. This would be just PERFECT!!

  296. I’d loved summer camp as a kid. I totally love the idea of summer camp especially when it’s all about getting crafty. Very exciting!

  297. I have never gone to camp = maybe I could win and this would be “MY” camp time.

  298. What a sensationaly idea…camp.

  307. I am amazed at all of the new ideas flowing from Papertrey. I just Love this idea, and would love to find the time and money to join in. You are right, we always seem to be sure that the kids get into their camps and such; why not Mom…hmmmm, really thinking on this one. Thanks for always providing great inspiration and motivation for us.

  309. I have been driving my kids all over creation to summer camps this week. I think a summer camp where I can stay home would be fantastic! Thanks for the chance to win, Mary

  343. I haven’t been to camp for ????? years…ok, never mind how many years!!! But the thing I loved about camp was that you left the real world behind. That is how I see papercrafting as well. I go to my little room and for a little while I can leave the real world behind. It would be so great to have a card camp just for me! And to have you as one of the designers takes it over the top!

  344. What an amazing opportunity! I’ll be crossing my fingers and wishing upon the stars! Thanks for giving us a chance to learn from the best.

  347. A great chance to stay inside where it’s cool and play with glue and glitter. Who could ask for more?

  348. Loving a summer camp for me, and loving that other people get the benefit of my summer camp by getting a beautiful card. This camp would be some much needed creative time.

  350. A summer camp for me is just what I need. It doesn’t get any better thano not having to leave your house and pack up supplies!!
    Thanks for the opportunity Nichole!
    Takisha Davis

  353. A summer camp for ME would be just heavenly! Yes, during the summer I very much cater to my kids and their wants during their time off. So if I were lucky enough to win a spot, I’d lock the door to my scrap space and either bargain with a neighbor to watch my kids or let the kids watch WAY too much TV. It would be so worth it to get a jolt of inspiration for my own creativity! Thanks for the chance!

  354. Seriously this would be a dream to do. Would love the opportunity to partake. Everything is crossed. Thanks

  356. Are you serious? Some time alone for me? That would be fantastic! You are
    so awesome to think of us. I haven’t been to summer camp in years. . . and, I remember it as a fabulous time.

  359. Who says kids are the only ones who get to have fun in the summer? I would love to win a spot in this card camp! Thanks for the chance!

  365. Sounds wonderful. I need at least one fun thing to look forward to this summer. I’m in!

  366. You are so cool giving away spots to the camp. I would love to “attend” stamp camp! I haven’t stamped in over a month (end of school and vacation) and I get back home next week. Having a camp would really help get back into the groove.

  367. A summer camp for stampers!? Sounds like a bit of heaven on earth for me!! I LOVE to create in the summer 😀

  371. This really sounds like my kind of summer camp! Please, send me!!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  373. We have been camping so many times this past year with girl scouts! I love the idea of camp in my craft room. You are totally right about how awesome these ladies are. This will be a great class! Thank you for the chance to win.

  374. I’m extra pumped now to know you are also involved in these classes Nichole!! I’ve already signed up and waiting some-what patiently for kick-off next week.
    Thanks for the chance to win my spot for free though.
    See you at Camp!! 🙂

  377. I can’t waaaaa—ait! Super stoked about the lineup of amazing artists! Woot!

  378. I’ve never been to summer camp, but I wasn’t sure I had missed anything. This is a summer camp I don’t want to miss. A camp with my peeps!

  379. I have always wanted to go to summer camp – especially one that involves paper crafting. It sounds fantastic!

  380. This sounds like a dream class! I love Jennifer and Kristina (and cardmaking, of course!). Fingers are crossed! 😉

  381. Oh my! I would love a summer camp! I dream of all of the trade shows and the days for regular people but they never come close enough so I can go. Now I have an opportunity to go to summer camp and not even leave my house! You have made me so happy to dream about this. Thanks

  382. What an awesome experience this would be with designers including you, Dawn, Kristina, Jennifer and so many other talented crafters! A special camp for me in my stamp room would be simply divine. Thanks for the chance to win !

  383. I would LOVE this kind of summer camp…weeks & weeks of card making sounds like so much fun!

  385. WOW!! What a FABULOUS GIFT!! =) I am a HUGE fan as well and I WOULD JUST DIE for a spot in this class!! I live in NEBRASKA and have NO classes or local stores around to ENJOY!! I have to drive 5 hours to take classes at Archiver’s, so having a class that I can take in my own home is LIKE my OWN SUMMER VACATION!! =)
    Again, THANKS SO MUCH for the GENEROUS CHANCES to win!! HAVE A FABULOUS WEEK!! =)

  386. Usually just the kids get to go to camp! Each summer most parents try to find activities for their children. How wonderful that someone thought about all the grown-ups! It sounds like a welcome break from the demands of work and all of the craziness that often comes with the warm summer weather!

  387. I can’t think of a better way to spend part of my summer! Thanks for the chance to win!

  388. woo hoo! play time for adults where we get to do something WE want to do! sounds like a fantastic way to spend the summer.

  389. I feel really excited for this class and the amazing artists that are involved! Thanks for the chance to win a spot 🙂

  390. Sounds great! I am always up for more inspiration. It would be a wonderful opportunity.

  393. OMG I would LOVE to do this! My (new) husband and I just created our monthly budget and we can’t afford ANY luxuries right now, so if I could win that would just OVERJOY me! 🙂 It looks like so much fun! 🙂

  395. Well since I never went to summer camp as a kid, I’d love to experience summer camp with such talented project overseers! Plus no mosquitoes = the perfect camp grounds! 🙂

  396. Fabulous! I’m a single mom who is relentless trying to find a full-time job to support my kids. I may be in Canada but we all know what the economy is like 😉 So, my stamping budget is non-existent for now and to do a camp for me would be awesome! I need a boost for my mojo 🙂

  397. I so want to take part in this class!!! Looks great. Need that mojo! And just for me?! Heaven!

  398. Great concept….. it’s nice to have a summer camp to keep those fresh ideas coming. I hope there are some ideas for Christmas so I can get a jump start ; )

  400. Summer Card Camp just for me can’t get much better. When you’re stuck in an island with minimal opportunities compared to the States, something like this is sure to bring on the happy! 🙂

  402. I’d love to go to summer camp. My daughter is with you in North Carolina mentoring at summer camp.Going to Card Summer Camp would be second best to coming over to visit you at Papertrey. Perhaps I will join you all from the UK. Thanks for all your inspiration!

  406. I loved summer camp as a kid! Then I worked at camp as a teen as a counselor. Then as a young mother I cooked at a summer day camp. What fun it would be to be the camper again!

  407. This would be so much fun. A summer camp for adults, centered around card-making–AWESOME!!

  408. I’ve been lucky enough to attend two classes with Jennifer McGuire and I’ll tell you that gal is loaded with ideas. This sounds like a fun way to keep motivated this summer, learning over coffee while sitting out on my deck in the morning. Then trying things out after dinner in the evening…Would love to win.

  409. I have just been through 3 of the roughest months of my career! Summer camp will coincide with the conclusion of my project…and would be just what the doctor ordered to renew my creative spirit. Thanks for the chance to win!

  410. I don’t have kids yet, so the only summer camps I remember were always for me! That being said, this even beats space camp (which I did one summer as a kid, I am a total astronomy nerd) 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  411. You have brought back some great memories for me. I went to church camp every year for a week. I loved the years when they would let me stay for 2 weeks because of age. I have been working on my craft room since February and just now finishing up. I have only crafted what absolutely needed done. Now would be a great time to get back to crafting and camp!!

  413. I would love to participate in this (even though it will be a winter camp for me). The idea of getting lots of neat ideas from great people and hanging out with people who also love to make cards sounds fantastic.

  414. 4 weeks of rubberstamps + all of you {big grin}, that sounds simply AMAZING!!!

  415. What a great idea! This is wonderful for all of us who don’t live close to places that have actual classes.

  416. Summer camp that is all arts & crafts (and no hiking) sounds really good to me. Plus its all air-conditioned too! Nichole, I have to say this summer camp idea is even better with you as a guest designer! I can’t wait to see your creations.

  419. How I’d love to win a slot for this card camp! So many of you talented artists, so much fun! Thanks for giving us a chance to win.

  420. what a GREAT idea and you don’t have to leave home!!! thanks for the chance to win!!

  426. I am really impressed with the group involved in this class, can’t wait!

  428. Gosh, I could really use this as a stress reliever in my busy life right now!! I don’t spend any time on myself at all. This could be JUST the excuse I need to pamper myself.

  429. Ahhhh, camp in the comfort in my A/C home! I’ll just be singing “it’s getting hot in here, so get out all your stamps!” 😉

  431. I never got to go to summer camp as a kid. I imagine it a lot like the camp I saw in one of my favorite movies, THE PARENT TRAP! I think this is the perfect time in my life for an adventure with camp–with my one and only hobby, card making!! Thanks for this chance to win!

  432. A summer camp without bugs or having to sleep on a bunk bed in a cold cabin!!! Sign me up! Sounds like lots of fun, thanks for the chance to win a spot.

  434. I love the idea of a summer camp full of creativity and color…and no mosquitos!

  440. Summer camp just for me? Heck yeah! My kids have all kinds of fun things planned for the summer but mama has nothin’. This would be awesome!!

  441. One of the things I always appreciated from my daughter’s summer camp experiences was that she always learned while having fun. I would love to have that same experience myself.

  444. Honestly, I did’nt really enjoy summer camp as a child. I would rather have spent my days reading and doing needlepoint with my grandmother. Now…if there were camps like Card Camp available to me as a child, well that would be a different story!!

  445. The best parts of summer camp were the friends you made and going to the craft cabin. What fun to have both and not have to leave home! I am always looking for new ideas and different ways to use the Papertrey products I have. This Summer Card Camp sounds like fun. Thanks for offering it to your fans.

  447. This camp will be perfect for me! When I was a little I didn’t like summer camp so this camp will allow me to “camp” from home! My littles are camping in my brother-in-law’s backyard this weekend and I will be “camping” in their guest room! That is how much I don’t like camping…..

  448. To be part of a summer camp with designers that I love would be amazing…to win a spot would be fantastic. Thanks for the opportunity!

  449. Never have I been to a Summer camp not as a child and not as a adult ..would love to go…making cards/stamping is my greatist hobby of all(actually only one since there is no time left anymore for others)

  450. Now THIS is my kind of camp! My daughter is at camp those four weeks and my hubby is away so lots of card making time for me 🙂 I’m signed up, but hey it would be nice to win a spot too 🙂 If we win, can we give the spot to a friend?

  452. Summer Camp sounds like fun. I haven’t been to camp for many, many, many years.

  453. Card Camp sounds fabulous. The design team is just an awesome group of people. Thank you for the chance to participate.

  454. Summer camp without having to leave the house, i’m in, especially since I can stay in my p.j’s.
    I’m a cardmaker and am always looking for new ideas and techniques.I love Kristinas blog and check it often, I love the variety of cards she makes. Excited to see who the rest of the designers will be.

  455. I am so excited about this class; I’ve been in a card-making slump and while I have all the supplies, my mojo is nowhere to be found! To have a Summer Camp with the most amazing designers, all my favorites, is just what I need! I can’t wait to begin!
    Kathy Camasso

  570. Card camp would be fantastic! And what a line up of talent; this is a great idea that I hope is repeated for those who don’t take advantage of this opportunity. Thanks for the chance to win. I love that the focus is on color.

  571. When I was growing up my parents couldn’t afford to send 4 children to camp but we did get to go to a daytime crafts summer camp and I loved it! What an absolute joy it would be to win a spot at “Home Summer Camp” with inspiration from a group of wonderful super talented woman!

  572. That class looks like it will be awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!

  573. I just retired and this would be ideal. I love cardmaking, and new techniques and ideas would really get my creative juices flowing! Summer Camp…I feel like a kid again!! Thanks for the opportunity!

  575. Please, please, please…can I come to camp? I am so excited! I’m signing up today.
    Thank you :o)

  576. Every year I say it’s decidedly unfair that only kids get to go to summer camp. Especially when it’s adults who need it more. It doesn’t help that I have particularly fond memories of the sleep-away camp I went to every year as a kid. Sleeping outside, swimming every day in the Eel river, no boys! Heaven!

  577. I would love to win this!! The summer camp sounds wonderful!! I love to create and implement new ideas into my creations!

  580. Who wouldn’t want to attend summer camp with such a talented group of designers? Count me in to win! Thanks for the opportunity.

  581. WoW Summer camp, I never went to summer camp as a kid, so to be able to have summer camp at home as an adult would be FAB!!!
    Thanks!!! Pick Me!!!

  582. We spend a small fortune on summer camp for our boys every year. It would be great to finally do something just for me. Thanks for the chance to win.

  583. This would be a spectacular treat! It has been a long time since I have attended any kind of Summer Camp. How awesome is this a Card Camp for grown-ups!

  584. Oh my gosh but this class gets better and better with all the fabulous designers and crafters that are participating in it! I would love a spot in this class. Got my fingers crossed 🙂

  585. Since I´m from Guatemala and we don´t have this kind of classes here, I would love to win a spot!! thank you!!

    Eloisa

  588. What fun!! Summer Camp always brings fond memories of my childhood. This sounds like a blast! Thank you!

  589. Wow, what a great idea. I have never heard of an online card camp! Sounds like something I could truly use – Me Time!! : ) Thanks for this chance to win!

  591. Would love to go to card camp…always loved Girl Guide camp, church camp and family camping. It would be a great new experience at Card Camp. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot. Cheers!

  592. Summer camp for grownups is a fabulous idea! Just because we get older doesn’t mean we lose our need for relaxing and fun. Getting inky, sparkly and covered in glue is my idea of a great time at camp! Thanks for the chance to win a spot in this cool class!

  594. Summer camp for me! Yeah! I am already on week 2 of summer camps for the kids. 🙂 How fun for something just for me.

  595. We are not taking a vacation this summer, so this class would just be a delight for me. Not to mention that I’d love to learn new techniques from the best stampers!

  597. I loved girl scout camp! Although I remember thinking that the crafts weren’t very challenging. This would certainly jump start my summer time creativity! Thanks for the chance to win.

  599. Being able to “camp” out in my Stamping Studio with online Friends is a great idea. I think I might try stamping by flashlight. Thanks for the generous offer and oppurtunity of a lifetime.

  600. I never went to summer camp as a kid & mosquitoes love me too much, so this would be a perfect camp for me. I totally admire Kristina and Jennifer, so thanks for a chance to win a spot!

  602. When I was kid, the only over-night camp I went to was a Girl Scout horse back riding camp. I got SO homesick, I ended up in the nurse’s office. When the nurse left the room, I used her phone to call my mom to see if she’d come & pick me up. This was totally against the rules & I got in trouble…
    I don’t think I’d get homesick at an over-night camp now! 🙂 LOL

  603. It has been a very long time since summer camp. If I can’t win a spot I will just have to use some of my crafting budget to sign up.

  605. Wow. Nature & I don’t get along. This sounds like the camp for me! I am in the middle of a creating slump right now (summer usually does that to me – sure, when I’m not running the kids back & forth to school & actually have time!), so a camp full of ideas & techniques would be great. Thanks for the chance to win this.

  606. Wow,I’ve never been to summer camp — always heard it was great fun, so I’d absolutely love to win a chance to do THIS summer camp.

  608. Wow! Sounds like fun. I can always use new card inspirations. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  609. This wwould such great fun! I never got to go to summer camp as a kid, so this would be like a second childhood!

  610. I will have my niece visiting me, so this might be a great camp for us to do in the evenings. Will we get a list of special supplies? We are going to have a great time.

  612. I think this is a FABULOUS idea! I need me time and I can’t think of any better way to spend it then expanding my creativity and making beautiful cards. Thanks for the chance to win!

  613. No sleeping bags or bug spray!!! Just playing with color and stamps?!?! Yippee!!
    Now that is my kind of camp! 🙂
    Thanks for the great opportunity!
    – Kristin B.

  619. OMG!!! Summer Camp for meeee~sounds fabulous!! I will be having foot surgery in early July and will be off of work for 2 months. Card Camp would be wonderful “therapy” for me.

    Have a Great Day!!

    a summer card camp sounds like just the answer! tee hee!

  638. I Love the Idea of Summer Camp. It’s like having an adult playdate full of creative fun and inspiration. I sue hope to win a spot. Smooches…

  640. I love the idea of an online summer card camp! It is super hot here in San Antonio and I am busy at work. The online camp option lets me create in the air conditioning when I have a few spare moments. Winning a spot would be a great birthday present for me, but I am also be willing to pay for this class. 🙂

  681. This sounds like a perfect camp for me!!! No mosquitos, comfort of my own home and bed, shower facilities! I’m in!! 🙂

  684. Being a retired Girl Scout leader and a Camp Director I can say it was loads of fun and great memories but lots of work..I would love to attend a camp within the comfort of my own home (air-condition and no bugs!) and stamp and make cards with my fellow PTI Friends!

  694. Love the idea of a summer camp for adults, especially one that involves making cards!

  695. Summer Card Camp just for me!!!!
    I can only imagine after all day helping the kids have fun, some peace and quite attending this camp!

  699. i’ve NEVER been to camp myself; my daughters (2) have never been to camp. this card camp sounds “right up my alley”–no bugs, no humidity, no nasty weather. you can sleep in your own bed!!! would love, love, love to be picked to go. it sounds like sooooooooo much fun.

  707. Have always loved summer camp, brings back so many memories, camping in those tents with 5 other girls, the bugs, campfires, s’amores, swimming canoing, and getting homesick for mom! But oh so many good times, now as I have gotten older and can’t sleep on the ground in a sleeping bag anymore, card camp is way more up my alley, me the computer, cup of coffee, some music, my dog for company and away we go!!! Some learning , relaxing and hopefully the making of some new friends and learning lots of new ideas!!!
    Thanks for the chance and also for the flashback of memories.

    Donna Przy

  709. Agh, summer camp was torture for me. I am sure it had something to do with my Mom being a counselor one year. That made me a super star that year! I am sure Mom had the best intentions for me {parents that volunteered got a week free for their child} but I did not enjoy seeing my underpants high in the trees on my way back from canoeing!

  710. Now this sounds like my kind of camp! 🙂 Would LOVE to win a spot. Thanks for the chance!

  711. I would love to have some camp time just for me this summer! Of course, the kids are busy with baseball, swim and piano lessons and scout camps. Having something for me to do (besides run them around) would be heavenly!

  712. Summer camp brings up conflicting feelings for me. I was always sad to be away from home and it took a while for me to adjust, but I sure loved making all those neat arts and crafts projects. This camp is the best of all worlds I can stay at home and all we do is crafts! Thanks for the chance to win. This is what I need to jump start my mojo.

  713. I love the idea of a summer card camp! Perfect little something to look forward to, and a mojo booster for sure! Thanks for the chance to win a spot 🙂

  715. This summer camp would be great for me! Not only do I love Papertrey Ink stamps and dies but I just got laid off from my job and have more than a little extra time on my hands. Thanks – it sounds like it will be a wonderful camp.

  717. Summer Card Camp would be fantastic. Lots of new ideas would be inspiring! Maybe I’d be able to get ahead of the to-do card list!

  718. oh boy…..I might have to get a new sleeping bag for this one! I’m so there…..sounds like a fun time! I love this idea! Thanks for the chance to win!

  722. I love this idea! I’d love to join in – thanks so much for the opportunity to be a kid again!

  726. Love the idea of a summer camp! Some time for something I like to do – how perfect!

  728. Summer Camp for Me? Creating. Dreaming. Relaxing. Bubbles. Drinks with little umbrellas ….

  729. This would be loads of FUN! I never experienced summer camp per se, and it’ll be cool if I get to do this.

  730. While I love taking my kids to basketball camps, baseball games and practices, softball games, cross country practice and wherever else they may need to go all summer…..it would be nice to “attend” a camp just for me to be creative and explore my own talent.
    Thanks for a chance to win a spot!

  732. It’s been a lo-o-o-ng time since I went to summer camp and this sounds like a lot of fun. I’d love to go!

  734. I would love this camp!!! where I could pitch my tent out of card stock, secure it with glue and decorate with embellishments, all without leaving my kitchen! I can not say how much I would love to win this, but I think I could express it in a card:)

  736. This camp will completing inspire me to cardmaking! I LOVE this idea for a camp for cards. In fact, I have already registered, though, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get to take it for free!!! Thanks for giving away 3 spots.

    Julie L.

  757. I also loved going to Girl Scout camp and think this card class camp would be a blast. Thanks for the opportunity

  758. I only went to summer camp once, eons ago when I was in the 8th grade! I’d love to go back, and I can’t think of a better group to spend it with! I’d love to win a spot in this class. Thanks Nicole, for the chance to win one.

  759. Oh my, I loved summer camp. Does anyone remember “sit-upons” from Girl Scouts? I think Card Camp would be such fun.

  762. Oh how I wish I be picked for this R & R treat!!! I love this website!!! Thanks!

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  764. I would love to be one of the “chosen ones” to win a spot for this summer camp. Looks like a blast and all the great ideas we’ll go away with will be so great!

    angijrankin@gmail.com

  765. Wow!!! What a great team of instructors – Jennifer and Kristina!!!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  769. Here in sunny Arizona…it’s just tooooo darn hot to go anywhere. Everything melts from point A to point B! LOL. So staying home in the comforts of my OWN craft room…with the A/C cranked…is the way to go. Now…to join in your class…that would make my summer complete 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!!

  775. I never went to summer camp, just church camp! Lol! A camp where you make cards and are inspired and creatively refreshed would be awesome!

  776. I dreaded summer camp as a kid: bugs & sunburn. This is my kind of summer camp!

  777. My daughter goes to camp, my son goes to day camps and I organize them. I’d love to “go” to card camp even if I never leave the house! I’d also love to restock my card stash. I’m dreadfully low on birthday cards! Making cards is perfect for summer when you have smaller amounts of time to devote to crafts. I’ll send a letter from camp if I get to go!

  778. I’m so glad you are one of the guest teacher at the card camp. It sounds like a great 4 weeks. I’ve already signed up, but would love a refund. 🙂

  779. This look so fun! I would love to get back into cardmaking instead of just scrapbooking!

  780. I would love the opprtunity to be a part of Summer Camp. It’s winter here in Australia so I really need some inspiration and fun to warm me up!

  783. A card making summer camp? all the fun without the bug bites ;P Thanks for offering up these spots.

  785. An old gal going to summer camp; what fun! Glad to see there aren’t any wake-up bugle calls. Can’t wait to participate in card camp.

  786. Why is Summer Card Camp for me? Um, because it looks super fun and I REALLY want to do it and sending my kids to camp has left the fun budget deFUNded.
