Outdoor Survival Kit,,,,

Don't you think if you had a little smore's for the camping trip...all would be great!

Last night my son and his grandpa left for Ottawa.....to spend sometime doing some outdoor activities. (A big Hello to Danielle)! So I made this little smore's kit! It might come in handy around the campfire. I tucked it in his bag for a little surprise....I know he will love it!
I had this stamp kit from stampin up called Under the Stars. It has the cutest little smore's image that I stamped, coloured with copics, then added some liquid applique that when heated puffs right up to resemble a marshmellow....then I added just a little of the copics to make it look like it was just baked on the fire....nice and easy...just the way I like it...not burnt!

Hope you are having a great weekend! Hope the weather is totally awesome for you!

What a cute surprise. I have seen Smores on menus in New England but have never tried them but they look delish. Weather here is very mixed at the moment but thankfully not too hot. Marianne x
