Happy Friday! We are half way through Challenge #39 at Tag You're It and today I have a tag to share with you based on Erin's inspiration.
My husband grew up in a family where they did lots of camping, my family had a cottage on the lake so I had never gone camping. Before kids and being the good sport that I am we did a camping trip with a tent once! It was an epic fail, it rained all weekend and it was miserable and damp. I vowed never to go camping again. When the kids were small though we wanted to travel, so we comprimised bought a travel trailer. We had a kitchen, a bathroom, beds and air conditioning which made me a happy camper and allowed us to travel extensively all over Canada and the U.S. Inspired by Erin I made a tag today with Lawn Fawn's Happy Trails, because of all my fond memories of camping with our kids.
I sponged Distress Ink onto a watercolour paper tag and flicked some water on it (have you been seeing a theme with me here-lol) and then I stamped the cute trailer also on watercolour paper and then watercoloured it with Distress Inks.

There is still time to play along with the challenge, Can't wait to see how you are inspired...
Love your fun tag and the story behind it....I'm all about hotels now....I use to camp when the kids were little.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tag Tracey. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Tracey, were you at Bon Echo Park at the same time my family and I camped there? The rain never seemed to stop, and with one shaggy dog (Irish Setter), the tent became uninhabitable in no time! I vowed I'd only go camping again if I had a raised bed LOL Camping was something we did all the time when the boys were young, and thankfully, they have acquired this activity and a love of the outdoors. Your Tag is adorable, and I'm lovin' the watercolouring I've been seeing more and more of lately!
