My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #66 - Under the Stars (Camping Theme)

Good morning!  The My Craft Spot DT have been working on some AMAZING inspiration for this weeks Monday challenge at My Craft Spot!  I think you could say we had a load of fun with this challenge!  This week our challenge is Under the Stars and we want to see those camping themed projects!!  Here is mine!

I have been waiting for the chance to use these absolutely adorable 3D tents since I bought the Camping Critters cart!  I figured this was the perfect opportunity to use them to make a Thank You gift for my daughters girl scout camp leader!   We followed the directions set forth in the Camping Critters book.

The process was a whole lot easier than I had expected and before I knew it, we had pitched a little tent!  We added some little signs and used the My Craft Spot Thank You stamp set to finish off the little cutie!  Now all we need are some chocolates and I'm sure she will love this little tent! 

Check out the rest of the DT creations and join us for our fun Under the Stars challenge this week at My Craft Spot!  I can't wait to see what you create!  Thanks for stopping by!

Park Ranger Thank You

It's been a busy scrapping day in our house.  I'll have several projects to show you by time the night is done!  I think when I have a bad week, I get all my frustration out by papercrafting!  It is great therapy!  At Fantabulous Cricut they are having a Camping Challenge this week.  My camping LO went in another direction but I did get a campy card made today.  Here is the first card I wanted to share with you tonight.

It is for our friend who happens to be a Park Ranger at one of the local State Parks that we visit regularly during the summer.  He is always helping us out and we wanted him to know how much it is appreciated! 

My mom just bought Camping Critters this week so until she gets the Cricut I got her for Christmas out of the box, I have custody of the cart..hehe!  I used it for the entire card, base and all!   I am having a blast with this cart!

Camping Trip LO

Today the girls and I worked on a quick camping layout.  My kids love looking at past photos and today we picked out a camping trip to scrapbook.  There a lot of trips to choose from and we decided on my oldest E's 1st camping trip.  It was cute because my middle E kept looking at the pics and asking "where me in this picture" and then we have to go through the whole explanation that God didn't give her to us until after this trip and the questions go on and on!  Anyway, I wanted to make a special LO just for the Crazy about Cricut challenge to create a project specifically for the challenge about something you love.  I love crafting (and would like to win the cart) but I, or I should say we, really LOVE camping.

Like my tent?  I had to give it tent stakes because when I think of camping I remember that I always stub my toes on those darn things!   Another funny part of this LO is that I have a camper and a tent on there but we were cheaters this trip and stayed in a cabin...hehe! 

This LO doesn't look that great in the pictures.  I should have taken more close up pics but my camera battery (which baby E took the other day and I just found it) was dead!  I promise this LO looks a lot better in person!
