Going old school...

So my monthly scrapbook recently requested a layout that was ‘camping’ or ‘outdoors’ in theme. Now, if you have been a stamper for a while (I started back in 2005!) you may have noticed that Stampin’ Up! only rarely offers camping themed stamp sets. I have always held onto these sets! They do not get added into my BOGO events as I can never predict when another one will be coming around. Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder! In fact, I have a pretty decent collection of stamp sets that I will never part with. Some for sentimental reasons and others for requests like this! I was able to successfully blend old, older and brand new (not even released yet!) items to create this page. I am so happy with how it turned out! I think my favourite aspect of this page, other than the bear, I mean, really? Could he be any CUTER! Are the wooden Tags & Feathers embellishments that will be releasing with the holiday catalogue. You can find them on pg 47. As well, take a peek at the little bugs scrambling along on the background too (can’t go camping with out bugs!). Hope you enjoy and are inspired to pull out some of your old and older stamp sets to play.
