Happy Camper Christmas

My birthday was back in August. My friend, Elizabeth, told me that her husband said that she should just give me a bag of rocks for my birthday because I could figure out what to do with them. Well, a couple of weeks ago, she gave me a bag of rocks! And, I was up for the challenge.

For Rock Challenge #1, I created a cute winter camping scene.

For this challenge I started with one of the larger rocks.

I covered most of the rock with DecoArt Snow-Tex. 

While the Snow-Tex was still wet, I added a cute little vintage style camper that I found at Michael's.

Then I inserted a tree into the snow.

I made a banner by folding red paper tape over bakers twine and  cutting it to form triangles.



I cut a paper straw in half, then punched holes in one end and threaded the bakers twine through them.


I used hot glue to attach the straws to the back of the rock.


Thanks for the challenge, Bobby & Elizabeth!

Camping North Pole style!
