What's Happening

If you've followed my blog for a while you already know a few things about me - one of them being that I love frogs.  Yes, I do!  The real ones are pretty cute but they're especially cute when they're on a card.  

This one is from Unity and I love the dreamy look in those eyes.  I don't have a dreamboat to send this too anymore - unless I can find George Clooney's address - so, I just used the "Sup" sentiment from the set of stamps and I guess I'll be sending this to my brother - not a very good substitute for George but he'll have to do!    I also used a wave type stencil from Newton's Nook in the background and then mounted him on a circle die of scrap polka dot paper.  

I'll enter this in the challenges at The Male Room (dots and/or stripes - polka dot circle and wavy stripes) and Critter Crazy Challenges (anything goes with a critter).


Thanks for stopping by..........and keep smiling!

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but that frog is so cute! The stenciling is perfect behind him. If you find out George's address, I will pay you to share and I promise not to share it with anyone else. I will be happy to hand deliver a card from you to him!

clever clever, the wavy background for the water is a great interpretation of the stripes at our challenge The Male Room. Your coloring job is wonderful and the whole card is well put together!

Liz said...

Brilliant card, Lynn. The stencilling makes a great background for your adorable little frog. xx

Ah ah ah!!! Your post makes me giggle! :D Sorry for G. Cloney, I can't help you as I haven't his address, but however I think that your brother will be glad to have been chosen :) Love so much the face of this frog, Unity has always fabulous stamps. Great colouring and design! The stencilled background looks fabulous!

OMGosh, I LOVE this card Lynn!!! I am a huge frog lover too, especially love the little toads, they are so dang cute! I love this one you have used here, your right, his eyes are pretty dreamy looking. LOL Oh wouldn't it be fun to send this card to George Clooney?!! LOL You need to find his fan page and sent it. LOL I guess your brother will appreciate it too though. Such a cool background with that stencil, looks like water! Yep, I love this card, too cute, too funny. Hugs, Brenda

Oh, he is fabulous Lynn, love the colouring and the water looks awesome and I love the "Sup", my youngest son says that to me when he walks in, only to be funny, he wouldn't dare mean it, ha ha ha..I love frogs on paper too and very small ones in the creek by my daughters house..

A very cute card. Love the frog and how you used the stencil behind it. I like frogs on cards, but in my back yard, not so much. 😃

Bonnie said...

This frog looks like he could be plotting something, Lynn! He's really adorable and I love the sentiment! The stenciling in the background adds depth and interest without taking away from the fun frog! I think your brother will love it! (George Clooney is pretty hard to beat!)

Maria said...
