Nothing like the great outdoors!

I have to tell you that so many "firsts" went into this project.

It is my first shadowbox and it is the first time that I tried the

dryer sheet technique that I found on Splitcoaststampers.com.

I cut the base @ 4 1/2 x 11" and added the rectangle window in DS.

Now that I have the saved file, it will be a snap to create another one.

I made this one specifically for the Cooking with Cricut challenge this week:

Anything but a card, and use yellow and polka dots.

This is my design creation in an "outdoors" theme.

The background was stamped and colored with markers.

I added the dryer sheet, trimmed it, and then added white glitter.

It gives it a misty look with a hint of sparkle....cool!

I use the MS branch punch for "brush" and added a mama bear and

two cubs in the foreground.

The Happy Camper sign is from Campin' Critters,

and black polka dots finish off the frame.

I have to say....I really like the 3-D look.

This may end up in our camper when the season starts.

I have the perfect place for it.

TFL!
