Toadally Frogs Blog Hop




Welcome to the Toadally Frogs Blog hop! We have some Toadally amazing crafters hoppin' along...and we hope to give the Easter Bunny a leap for his money! You should have come from Bonnie's amazing blog. If you just happened upon my blog and would like to start from the beginning leap back over to Karelj's blog at http://www.kareljcreations.com/.


SOooooo on to my project! I went back and forth as to what to create for this hop and then put it on the back burner. I checked out a few scrap booking books from the library and lo and behold I saw my project!!! This was adapted from a book on different boarders.


I used SU paper for all the patterned paper and the card stock is Bassils. I also used vellum. I cut my title with my gypsy and yet again I have noooooo idea which font I used. I do believe I cut it at half an inch though. The frog is from Boys Will Be Boys. The lily pad and grass is from Create A Critter. I did add a little green Stickles to the lily pad and grass to make it pop! The "prince" is from Everyday Paper Dolls.


I cut the blue card stock out and then layered the grass and doll on the card stock. I then adhered the vellum on the cs using the cute flower brads. On top of the vellum I put the title, grass, lily pad and frog on the vellum so it looks like the frog is looking at his reflection in the pond.





















These pictures were taken of me and hubby on our very first trip together. On that trip to Vegas he did ask my dad if he could marry me. Isn't that sweet??? Boy did I look so much cuter, thinner, and younger back than. Oh well. He still loves me so he's still my prince (most of the time.)

I will be offering some blog candy (to be posted before the end of the weekend). All I ask is that you leave a comment and a way to contact you. I would love for you to become a follower but its not a requirement! I will pick a winner Monday evening using random.org



Now leap on over to Jamie's blog and see what she has made!
