A weekend retreat at the Smethers Grand Stamproom, (The buckle man & patsmethers), was inspiration for this goofy-cute bear card. The bear was stamped on brown c/s, cut out and bleached on his mug & tummy. The Skeeter spray was also cut out as was the Skeeter. Stardust clear glitter pen was used on the spray can, skeeter wings & parts of the fire-which also has spots of red stickles. The bean can was cut out and colored with silver sharpie. The rocks stamp is by Stampscapes & the smaller pines stamp is by Inkadinkado. All others are SU. The bear, skeeter, spray can and bean can are all popped. The name was inspired by Phyllis Gunn, (Tater), when she asked me if the Skeeters in Northern CA are as big as they are in Texas! All I can say is THANK HEAVEN THEY'RE NOT!!

Yep, Texas Skeeters are big uns fer sure. We keep ours in a shoe box. Can't put too many in the same box or the box flies away!. Great talking to you and love seeing the card you spoke of. Too darn cute!!!!
