Campin out Bear on Log, and Campin Out Mountains and Trees. They're older dies but new to me and I had the best time playing with them and remembering camping in the mountains. Maybe I'll get back to camping next summer.
As always I used additional dies from here and there to support the scene. Lots of ink blending for color. Speckles courtesy of retired SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds. I don't know how or why they're just the thing to finish a card, but that's the way it works for me.
What a way to start the day -- sitting on a log with a mug of coffee, watching the sun come up over the mountains.
I have multiple photos which I hope you don't mind. Personally, I think "the more the merrier". In this case I kept trying to capture the Wink of Stella shimmer on the lake and the sentiment.
I'll be sending this card to a guy friend for his birthday and I think he'll love it.
There's more information in the recipe below my signature.

I can totally see why you had FUN making this card Leslie...the scene you've created with all the different dies is FABULOUS!! ALMOST makes me want to go camping too! (not a bug fan, but maybe there aren't any in your woods??!!) That bear just couldn't be anymore ADORABLE and I love that he's sippin' on a cup of hot joe too! Totally delightful card my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs :0)
CUTE... Have a great day
Oh, Leslie, I would love to join you for this experience! Sans the bear - unless it's this jovial guy who just happens to like coffee, that is!
Your attention to detail is fantastic and the perspective is spot on! [I'll take all the photos you'd like to share btw.]
It's time for a refill for me - thanks so much for sharing this sweet card!
=]
I would say these supplies were definitely in need of an outing! And what fun that bear is having soaking up the morning sunshine. I hope too that you'll be back to camping in the future, but for now, thanks for sharing this happy card. To help us dream!!
Well, isn't this the cutest card! Love how you have the bear drinking his AM coffee on the log looking so happy! Nothing like a cup of coffee cooked over a campfire! We haven't been tent camping in years! It was a great experience!
Great take on the camping theme,love the die-cut scene and cute bear

Cuteness abounds with this darling card!
You really are very good at making scenes. This one is perfect, so much detail and yet it is not at all cluttered. It really made me smile. I like to see lots of photos too. Well done for capturing the shine xx
Hi Leslie, sorry I've been MIA, we just got back from a 2 week trip visiting friends and relatives in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Exhausting but fun :)
Wow this little bear scene is adorable, he looks so cute with his little paw print mug :)
This bear looks quite friendly but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable sharing my morning coffee with him! I do love your scene and I agree about those Itty, Bitty Backgrounds. They do add a lot to this fantastic scene! I can see the sparkle too.
Oh my goodness gracious is this ever cute! I love every darling little detail you've added to this sweet card! The sparkle on your sentiment is the icing on the cake!
What a cutie! Love the sweet bear and the wink of stella on the sentiment. Have a good week!
This is so adorable. Love all the different parts of the scene. I always love a good scene card. I think because I'm not so good at making one, I really enjoy looking at everyone else's.
Cute.

I would say your guy friend will just love your fabulous creation, the bear is too cute sitting there having his coffee but I will have to say your inking/blending of the colors on everything is just terrific, and the speckles are just the right touch, totally love it!
OMG...another one of your super cute die cut scenes and so perfect for Summer time camping, Leslie. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
So darling! SO many pieces and so well put together. Camping is great. :-)
Leslie, your card is adorable and it took me back to when our daughters and later, our grandbabies were younger and camping was so much fun!!
Those dies are amazing and the way you created this little scene simply awesome.
Thank you for sharing.
Sending hugs💞

Fabulous scene Leslie. I always admire all the detail you put into your cards, and this is no exception. I LOVE the small paw print on the bear's coffee cup. :) What a glorious day with the sun rising over the mountain tops. Your friend is going to love this card! xx
