Happy place

One more for the travel theme at Frilly and Funkie: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

This is an anniversary card for the same son with the birthday next week.  They recently bought a trailer and take the grandkids camping every chance they get.  I tried to include 'the city' in the background to signify 'getting away from it all', by masking with torn paper before stamping the Tim Holtz City Central image.

The trees are from an old favorite Stampin Up set, Lovely as a Tree. The trailer is from Sunny Studio Happy Camper, and the 'sign' is from Autumn Leaves duly recorded, both purchased for my scrapbooking endeavors.

I blended some Distress Ink and very, very, lightly, nervously, spritzed with water; stamped an extra image of the trailer and colored with Copics, then added to the background.

A little bit cutesy, but oh well...thanks for stopping by!

12 Tags of 2016 - September

I wasn't quite sure how to approach this month's tag, I didn't have all of the supplies listed for the new technique, so my challenge was to reach a similar effect with what I had on hand.  I've also been trying recently to include what's been going on in my life each month with the 'theme' of my tag...Alaska cruise, wedding, eyes (cataracts)...so when hubby went fishing on Sunday I had a free day to play in my craft room and found myself thinking of 9/11.  So this is what I came up with for the 12 Tags of 2016 - September challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!
