Me (with a skeptical, almost nervous response): Oh yeah? Where is it?
The oldest (as he pauses from his jumping): He's right here.
Me (with a skeptical look on my face as I see him picking up the toad from the trampoline!): Oh Cole, why don't you let Chase watch him, toads can do their own jumping on the ground.
A little bit of time goes by and we begin a conversation again.
Me: Cole, where is the toad?
Cole: Chase has got him.
Me: Oh dear. (As I see my youngest driving around the yard on the mini four wheeler.)
I made a fun card (for me!) that showcases the wonderful mix of patterned paper available in the Artful Delight June Kit. Everything but these particular stamps and the pinking shear die came from this month's kit! Isn't that patterned paper divine? The green and blue are from the PB&J line from Basic Grey. Love that the kits stretch me out of my comfort zone.
I also used this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge Sketch as an inspiration and am joining in on the inspiration at Basic Grey Challenge: CAS.
Yes, super cute :>) I like the bits of trim and that button!!!
