This challenge is all about Jellystone Park, baskets, bears, etc. Visit Mothermark's blog at http://mothermark.blogspot.com/ to see the details. I didn't have any bear stamps, and really no great ideas either, but Nancy Williams (nwilliams6) suggested I make a basket with food in it.(thanks Nancy!) I found a little Studio G set of cupcake stamps and cut apart the little cupcakes so that I could make them appear to be spilling out of the basket. This might be the card I give my granddaughter next month when she turns 2, as the sentiment is perfect "You're so sweet" and she is! She would share the cupcakes with Barney and Boo Boo!

Welcome to your first tea-party - they are addictive. And you've done perfectly by bringing along a lovely picnic basket which looks chock full of yummy eats. And a pretty lace-edged tablecloth, too - very fancy for a picnic. Love your stitching.

Wow - this is a super card - love those cupcakes flying out of the basket and your stitching, as always, is just wonderful. I really like that button and twine too - Kelly will want it if she sees it.
Now come over to my blanket and share some of those yummy cupcakes with me. I think I have a few points left over today so I can afford to eat 1/2 of one anyway!
Hope you can come to next week's party too!
