A Canned Ham For Christmas

As some of you may know I have a small obsession with vintage campers.  They are just so cute.  Kirk has been on me for a long time that we need to purchase an enclosed trailer to haul all of my Close to my Heart products to and from expos and retreats.  I could not see investing all that money in a empty hauling device.  So after shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday the subject came up again ... and I started looking for a compromise.  We picked up this adorable 1962 Yellowstone camper (canned ham)a few weeks before Christmas.  She is in great shape and just so fun.  We will do some renovating ... like turning the blue strip red (on the outside) and a few things to the inside ... but shes ready to haul.
 

As to not favor one obsession over the other I created these super cute cards (my paper crafting obsession).  They were made using the Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge with the exception of the sun which was an old sizzix die.  Soooo much fun!!
