Hoppy and Happy Birthday



Happy Friday everyone.  I've got 2 cards to post today.  First up is a card for this week's Time Out #104 challenge...

Now,  I am on the reminder DT for this challenge, but I happened to feel like playing along a week early with some fun dies from Poppystamps:  Pond Frogs.  I used bold colors for my hopping frogs.  Poppystamps are our sponsor for this challenge, and they are also hosting their own challenge this month...PSC #42: Clean and Simple.



I am also taking the lead from my friend Sandie, and playing along at 2 challenges that are new to me, City Crafter Challenge #41: Die Cuts and The Sisterhood of Crafters: Clean and Simple.   And, I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Challenge In My Garden--yes, my garden has frogs.








My next card is for this week's PTI Make it Monday #313: Mask and Stack, Addicted to Stamps and More #281, Seize the Birthday, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, who all have Anything Goes this week.

I created a bunch of masks of this whale out of post-its, and followed Betsy's technique to create a pod of whales.









Thanks for Visiting

  13. Your so lucky to have frogs in your garden, I've always wanted a pond with them, especially as little tadpoles. I don't blame you for wanting to play along with this challenge and your card couldn't be more perfect!!!
