Sabrina (Cook22) is the Teapot Tuesday hostess with the mostess today filling in for da Mudder. She is taking us to the woods to look for bears, trees, and all the other things you can find there...not sure if I really want to find any bears but we should have fun!!! I am coming in style with my little camper...the grandkids are all sooo anxious and they are driving us crazy asking "Are we there yet??" I bet you have heard that a hundred times!!! The image is a paper cut from the Mr. Campy kit...I did a little sewing around the background layers and the bears from Happy Camper were stamped with Chocolate Chip. Ribbon and the tree brads finish it off. This is also for the DDC challenge this week hosted by Fran (Francie G.) to make a card showing what we would really like to be doing right now!! Whatever it might be, that is what your card should depict! I would love to be camping right now but I guess with all the rain, sleet, and other bad weather around here, I'll only dream about it!! Please join us in our little challenge and add DDC to the keywords section of your upload so we can find your card. You can find all the DDC cards here. TFL and now I'm off to make some smores!!!

Great details, Joan. Such a happy, colorful card. As a mother of six grown children and four grandchildren I cannot tell you how many times I have heard, "Are we there yet?"

Laughing at the Are we there yet - we weren't really allowed comics as kids; the only time we were was when we went on holidays, and then they were guaranteed to keep us occupied in the car. DH laughs every time he sees your signature about giving up diet Coke. I recognise that paper from a lovely card One4Joy sent me - it's great for this card. And we used twin bears, too - or is that triplets? You wouldn't love to be camping if you were here - rainy and windy. DH needs to fasten the cover on his motorbike a bit better before it blows off. Smores and an indoor fire sound much better for tonight!

Joan, I so glad you brought a trailer. It might get scary out in that forest at night!.....your card and story are just the best. I remember asking that same question, Are we there yet? What great memories you have reminded me of. Awesome card too. TFS :0)

Lol, oh Sis...yes, we have heard that question a thousand times, and every time The Buckle Man would say 'about five minutes'. Too funny! Love your DP- I have a stash of it and use it on most of my "MAN" cards. I love your great layout and fun ribbon! Good to see you at the party. Now stay outta the mead! LYMI Hugs...
