My husbands nephew and his wife just bought a camper about 3 weeks ago. Last week, the free digital from Bugaboo was this image. When I finally quit laughing, I printed it out and made this card. It just could not have been timed any better than this.
Actually this is the second card I've made with the image. The first one was done with a lot of pinks and I just was not satisfied with it. I like the more red, white, and blue, "picnic" or rustic look to this one a lot better. I think the layout was one of the card sketches from SCS a week or so ago.
I used Real Red, White, and Brilliant Blue card stock. The DP is from Paper Studio (the red and white check) and from CTMH (the blue dots). The image was colored with markers and Prismacolor Pencils. The sky and grass was done using chalk.
The sentiment on this card could just not be more true!!! I don't know about anywhere else, but in Texas we have mosquito's and we have them BIG!!!!! I could tell you a few "big mosquito jokes" but I'm sure yall don't want to hear me ramble on!
Thanks for stopping by.................

I love making cards specific to my friends and family!!
Too funny! I love the colours and the layout you used!
I love your card Lynn, such a hoot! Bet the family will love this one!
Great card Lynn, I just love this image..she is a hoot.. :)
The red gingham really is the perfect complement to your camping theme. This is super fun and colorful.
In New Hampshire (my home state) May is Black Fly season. They are worse than mosquitoes in my opinion. They swarm around your head and face (because they are attracted to carbon dioxide - what you breathe out) by the hundreds. They leave a terrible welt when they bite.
Oh my goodness, Lynn! This is awesome. I love what you've done with this image. What a perfect card!
Great job, Lynn!! And isn't that the truth!! I'm a Holiday Inn camper myself!!
The red gingham reminds me of the classic picnic table cloth!! So perfect for this wonderful design!
What a delightful card- I love this stamp line! TFS

Great card! I love the colors and that image is just perfect! It gave me a nice smile this morning. My husband is from Texas, I have heard big mosquito stories!
Love the card but don't card for mosquitos myself, LOL!!! Sure glad we don't have no Texas size ones... the ones we have are bad enough!
That is hysterical!! Great decision to use the red picnic paper! It definitely makes the card feel more outdoorsy!
Yes, bad thing about these warmer months are those skeeters!
Have a great day!
