B Bar Ranch

This card is for my closed SIF card group challenge. The challenge is for a Bee card. Since I'm out of town and have to use what is available from the supplies I brought, I'm asking for a real 'stretch' of imagination.

There is a ranch near Gardiner, Montana on the north end of Yellowstone that encompasses land as far as you can see and beyond. A road goes through the middle of the ranch and ultimately leads to a remote campground. It is also a favorite place for locals and the lucky people that are let in on the secret...moose and especially grizzly bears are more commonly spotted on either side of said road. We've seen 5 grizzlies so far and 1 moose, as well as a small family of white tail deer cavorting in a large meadow area. It's well worth the 30 minute drive.

Back to my card. The stretch is the B Bar Ranch sign. It's going to be as close as I can get to producing a bee card for now!

This bear is from a Lawn Fawn set and the papers are taken from my stash.

Hedgehogs

Being away from home for 2 months means mail doesn't get to you as fast. Bills are done online of course but magazines take longer to be forwarded.

At any rate, I received my Quick Cards mag this week and had to make a card with the free stamp and embossing folder. Its just too cute!

I'm entering this card in the Outlawz Monday challenge - Anything Goes with a sentiment.

I popped the sentiment up to stand out and found this perfect piece of burlap for a background and mounted it all on my homemade card stock. Very fun to make.

Greetings!

It's been so long since I posted but I hope to begin getting back into it. Life is just crazy sometimes and you just have to roll with it!

I went to http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/ and saw they have a challenge on Festive Friday that includes Christmas and thought I'd join in.

The story behind this 'inspiration' is...when I saw this die cut I thought it was an outhouse. I so loved the idea of positioning Santa coming out. Turns out its a bell tower, but I like outhouse better so tried it anyway. Maybe some of my friends from the south will enjoy it, ha!

At any rate, I'm dropping this in on the Festive Friday Challenge. Drop by Outlawz and check out all the fun they have there!
