Going Camping...

s I kid, I went camping ALOT! I was an avid outdoorsy type. I went climbing, hiking and camping all over the Northeast. I even went into the mountains of Quebec at 14 with little more than a pack and a few prayers! (Which was REALLY cold...like crack the ice on the water before using it to bathe cold! EEK!) I remember being surprised that my mom didn't want to go...but now I get it! Home = Comfy and Safe. Camping = Well...not so much! We definitely saw more than our share of Gods creatures - raccoons, skunks, bears, coyotes, fox, and more snakes and bugs than I can even remember! So why am I telling you all of this? Well basically because I have you captive here...AND as an opener for my next Stella card! ;-)

Bugaboo Stamps released several new stamps earlier today and this Stella is one of them! I tweaked the sentiment that comes with her a bit on it, because quite frankly I couldn't resist! I guess Stella brings out the 'funny' in me, and digi's really lend themselves to a broad range of uses! Don't forget to head over to the Bug Shop to see what else Stella and all of the other digis have been up to! Hope you enjoy the card!
