First off, I have to confess that camping is not my idea of a good time. Two of my grandchildren were Boy Scouts, and they loved to camp -- so I was trying to channel them while making today's cards. There are five images in this set, and I thought I would try to use as many as I could on my first (side-step) card. I succeeded in using four of them, as well as the biggest sentiment stamp.
Still channeling my grandsons, I thought the campfire with the long sentiment encircling it looked like a Boy Scout merit badge for camping. What do you think?
Be sure to check out the cards made by the rest of the design team and comment, comment, comment. Remember, the more you comment, the more chances you have to win a free stamp set.

WOW-wonderful stair step card and "Merit badge card"-fantastic job!
Fun and adorable card. That moose just makes me smile.
Both card are just beautiful. I love the use of the sentiment on your first card. I like the stamping angle of the last one. TFS AJ-
Stair step cards seem to be the thing today - great job with it. I also like your campfire very much with your sentiments.
Great cards. I love the step card. That moose is just too cute.
Very cute side step card, Lois. You did a great job using the images. I like how you sponged around the sentiment.
That is one darling sidestep creation. Yes, the second card does look like a merit badge...neat.
Very cute! I agree with you as I didn't enjoy camping either! I think the "mom" has the most work, packing everything needed!!!!
Wonderful cards Lois!!! I especially like the side step card. No one does side step cards like you do! TFS
How wonderful these cards are! Love everything about them. TFS!

Two really fun and great cards Lois!! Love the first one.
Great camping cards--my 4 sons were all scouts.
I think you did a great job with your Merit badge card. I loved both of your cards. So creative.
I love your step card...knew you'd come up with something cool....the second was a great way to showcase the camp fire...awesome, Lois!
These are great! I love the way you used the grass punch on the first one!
AWESOME Cards. I love both of them the DP on the second card is soo cool.
Lois,
Your step "camping" card is wonderful and adorable. And, the "merit badge" looks awesome and wouuld make a great card for a boy scout!!
I LIKE how you made dirt for your campfire. I thought when I was creating my scene that it was not a good idea to start a campfire in the grass....but adding dirt didn't come to me! :) Gorgeous step card! LOVE what you did with the campfire sentiment on your second card! Wonderful! I need to do something like this for DH my avid woodsmen and campfire bug!
Nice Lois! I think you have created a perfect merit badge!
You looking over my shoulder?? Great minds. Wonderrful cards. I like the patch of dirt you made for the fire. I hadn't thought of that.
awesome!
Very cool!
Summer camp out fun cards! Awesome cards!
