A Crazy Camping Trip

Over at Cardz 4 Guyz this time their theme for challenge #369 is "Fun and Games." So I went digging through my stamps to see if anything I had would fit and I came across this stamp set. I thought it was cute when I bought it at a yard sale. I think I'll pick up anything for a dollar! But I never used it, so it's also going to be entered over at the NBUS Challenge #73 this month too.

The funny thing about this set is that, while it's cute, I really didn't know what to do with the card at first, especially for someone that I don't know. Then it hit me: send it to someone who's going through a tough time right now. Inside I can write something like "sorry things are crazy right now." Then another thought hit me. I think I'll send it to my daughter! She loves the outdoors and plans on doing some big hiking trips this summer, but things are crazy for her right now at work, so this will be perfect.

Here's my complete supply list:

  • Stampin' Up!
  • SU! Early Espresso Card Stock
  • SU! Always Artichoke Card Stock
  • SU! Soft Suede Ink
  • Sizzix Ornate Labels Dies #3
  • Darice Embossing Folder
  • Various Copic Markers

It was really fun making this card, as long as this doesn't happen in real life! A bear getting a hold of your beans and a racoon getting into your smores is not good! But hopefully it will put a smile on my daughter's face next week.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful and safe day!

    Smile? I actually giggled out loud, Barb! A bean-eating bear and a schmores-eating raccoon is a krackup!! Your daughter will love it and way to go getting the set for a dollar! I think buying anything for a dollar or less is in female genes! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
