Dear Camper Cards

Our church sends off the kids to summer camp for a week...the staff for the Children's ministry and several volunteer parents (almost a ratio of 1:1 adult to kid)....go as well. They have a fun, praise filled week that is dusty, dirty and crazy! (every kid's dream!).....We as a church are asked to send off cards to the campers to let them know that we're praying for them. I missed church last week because I was sick, but....(I took photos of the campers during our Camp Rally Night). So on FACEBOOK, my friend asked if we would send cards to her kids, so...I hastily got out my stamping supplies (they're already out) and stamped several cards......to send out to several of the campers (including her and her kids) ......

Making multiple cards is fun, however if you don't have a plan it can be intimidating. I used UNDER the STARS 111556 29.95 to make the background for this card!

I wanted to use the New colors, so I used all the BRAND New In-colors from the 2009-2010 Catalog & Idea book. I added Old Olive because it needed a "green". Stamping the background using Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango and Old Olive. They are randomly stamped all over the page.

Cutting up the pieces into 4 pieces and then layering them on Bermuda Bay and Dusty Durango Cardstock to make the cards.

Voila!,background, done

I then stamped the bear 4 times in Basic Black and colored in the bears.

I decided to add googlie eyes to the bears, and fortunately, I had some teeny tiny eyes....

He doesn't look as scary now...he actually looks really cute!

Now, added dimension to the bear, and the s'more and sleeping bag.....he's added to the card.

I printed a Bear Hug on the computer and added it to the card........

and inside, I wrote that I was praying for the campers at our Church camp...they're all between the ages of 7-12 years old. My daughter also has friends that are working as Camp Assistants, in the cabins.....

Now...isn't he just the cutest?
