Today's featured stamp set is such a cute set with loads of possibilities!  I used the "side step" fold to create this little camping scene! Even though I had not tried this fold before it turned out to be easy and fun to create!  I just had to add this sentiment as it cracks me up! I wanted to add the campfire to the scene, so I placed a moon with clouds above the tent instead of a sun although IRL we have had a campfire going on many cold mornings WITH the sun shining!

Next up we have my "Different ways to use a stamp" segment:  

I am still behind in my Christmas/Winter cards so I thought I would create a winter scene with the tree image.  I have left off the sentiment until I know whether this needs to be a  "winter wishes" or "Christmas" card.  I think it would do nicely for either one.

I added a little bling to each tree although it's difficult to see on the tree at the left.  I thought a pop of red would be fun so I added a Cardinal from, "Christmas Selections".

Thanks for stopping by today!  Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win today's release!   I hope you will stop by my teammates blogs for some fabulous inspiration!
