Cadillac Tent

Camping has always been a big thing in my family. We camped alot when I was a kid. Most of it was RV camping, though I did camp a handful of times in a tent. When Hubby and I got married, I knew I wanted to go camping. I also knew an RV was WAY out of the picture for is. It was tenting or nothing. I created a layout to chronicle our first camping trip, with our new tent....our HUGE new tent.

Cadillac Tent is so named, because it's ENORMOUS. Hubby can fully stand up in the center of that thing. It was more like a house than a tent. (Well, except for the canvass walls.)

My color and cardstock choices were practically primary colors. Camping like this just seemed all retro to me. So I went with colors that screamed 70s to me. The buttons were kinda wooden-looking to me, which made me think of trees. We were camping in the woods, after all.

Supplies: I believe the cardstock is all DCWV. The buttons...are buttons. The dragonfly punch was a Whale punch. Circles were punched from a Marvy Giga punch (I love that thing). The alphas are foam Thickers, which I then covered liberally with Stickles. It came out with a neat effect, but took a very long time to dry. I had to hide the layout in a plastic box to protect it from cats bent on making a mess.
