LeapFrog


The greatest discovery that ever was for my two little boys is searching for allusive, mobile and green creatures with four legs amongst the grass. Every night the hunt begins. Sometimes they catch one, sometimes they miss one. Sometimes they catch a few at a time. I chuckle when they want to keep these creatures in their sand pail, and fear the time that they won't remember when they've stuck them in their pockets for safe keeping.

A new to me site called the City Crafter Challenge has a wonderful collage of green to be inspired by, and a perfect opportunity to ink up my first ever Unity set! Kind of a fun card to give to someone struggling with the decision on whether or not to...do something, eh?


Supplies Used: Cardstock: White (Georgia Pacific) Kraft (PTI) So Saffron (Stampin Up) Patterned Paper: Green from Stack 5 (DCWV), Stamps: Leap for Life (Unity-thanks AJ!) Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine) Other: Twine (PTI) Button (Cloud 9) Tools: Circle Punch (Creative Memories) Black Journaling Pen (Pilot)

  12. This card makes me happy. Period. :) I think it's the plaid frog- but the sentiment & stacked buttons are probably wooing me a bit too! :D
    Thanks for always being so sweet in your visits to my little blog-land...! (Hadley loves to catch frogs too- a little less common in a girl, I suppose! We've already got a 'home' for them, but she has to let them go before we head in for the day!) Have a fab 4th!
