Color scheme 1 + boy kit + camo papers = Courage kit
And I learned a new way to make camouflage paper! Here is a link to the tutorial.
I decided to name the kit "Courage" because that is the main word that comes to mind when I think about those people serving in the military. It takes courage to train. It takes courage to serve. It takes courage to leave your family behind. And for those families left behind, it takes courage to let your son or daughter, your husband or wife, your brother or sister, your father or mother, go. Entering the world of the unknown takes courage.
I am thankful for those serving in the military for your bravery, your courage and your love for our country and for our freedom. I hope you enjoy this kit.

This was a challenge for me because 1) I am a girl, and 2) 3 out of my 4 kids are girls, so naturally it's easier for me to create more girl kits. But still, I had a great time creating a more boy-themed kit.

Summer,
Thank you SO MUCH for listening and doing an awesome kit for my new son and his daddy who will leave next year on deployment. I wish I had some pictures of him in his CCU's right now so I could whip up a page! (or two, or three!) Your kits are amazing. I'm scooping this up RIGHT NOW!

fabulous job. great concept. love your thoughts on courage.
I cannot wait to have fun with this kit! I am surrounded by boys (husband, son, dogs even) and camo. This kit will be put to good use!

Thank you so much Summer, for this wonderful kit! I love love love the camo paper!!! Have a blessed day:)
THis is such a great Kit! You are a very talented person. Thanks for sharing.
You are a genius. I have to be honest, when you decided on the boy kit I was slightly disappointed as I have two little girls myself, but when I finished reading your post and what you based your kit on and then saw the results I was astonished. We live in a very military community and my husband is a civilian that works on the air base near our home so the military theme was perfect. Again you never cease to amaze. Thank you.
Summer, I really did NOT expect this! But, IT'S GREAT! I love, love, love what you have done with those colors - it doesn't look like ANY other kit! Thank you so much!!
Wow. Great work. Thanks again for sharing all of your work!

I just started exploring with digital kits this week. I happened upon your site and must say ~ YOU RAWK!!! Love your designs.
I was real happy to see the new kit - masculine. Living with three males - I love when I come across kits that are 'made' for my scrappin' needs!!
Thanks again!! Love it!!

Living in Canada - it is -35 here today would love to explore with some of last years summer pictures of the boys - can you 'hook a girl up'??? :)
Thank you for this! I have a little boy and have a hard time finding kits that aren't girly, so this is great! :)

Amazing kit Summer! You always outdo yourself with each kit you do! Thank you so much!
You are awesome! This kit is great for little boys! Thank you so much...I always love your work!
Summer,
I have recently become a viewer and user of your kits! They are incredible and I love your work. I have read your blog and have been inspired by the things that you do and the person that you are. I noticed were taking different color schemes for your upcoming kits which I was so excited and anxious for. I have been looking all over for a Lemon Kit so when you get done with all your previous ideas, that would be my request!
Again Thanks for being so willing to share your designs!
Thanks for the kit. Here's a layout I created with it.

Thank you. As wife of a Coastie that spends a lot of time away from home and the raising of his children(including 2 boys). I feel honored to have you mention the families left at home wondering where our loved ones are and when we will see them again. Not to mention we encounter quite a bit of what every other family has of the things that go wrong always wait until the most convenient time possible. I appreciate your recognition and your lovely kit.
Super kit!! Love the manly feel of it and the whole theme of it is wonderful for those in the service (male or female!). Thank you so much for sharing this!! Blessings!
Summer- I just started digital scrapbooking. I found your site and fell in love with it. It is so generous of you to do this for free. Thanks

Thank you so much for all your wonderful work! You are truly a daughter of God! I just found your blog and I love your digi kits and all the love you do for those around you. It is great to find other LDS scrappers online. I was wondering where I can get a quilt like the one Sarah did? Does she sell them? Thanks again.
This kit is great! I shared it with my sister who is in Germany with her husband, who is in the Army. And courage is a great way to describe all the men and women serving our country.
So cute! You did great!

This is great for me for 2 reasons. 1) I only have boys! lol.. and 2) I am a Military Spouse! Thank you for your kind words about those who serve. It does take a lot of courage and a lot of tears, I'll tell you that much! Thank you so much!!!

Summer, I can't tell you how excited I am to find your blog. These Courage papers are wonderful. I have a grandson that is either cowboy or camoflage or both on any given day. Thank you for your generosity.
This kit is PERFECT for my son! Thanks so much for making it, although I'm finding that it wont download. Is the problem something on my end?
Thanks for helping
