Unfrogettable You

The Featured Stamper at SCS this week isTaylor aka STAGCCVA and I chose this card.  This is what I came up with....

It's also perfect for the CAS challenge this week, Play on Words, also at SCS.

Also, Sue, at Sharing What I Love, is doing Scrappin' Sundays.  She will post a card each Sunday that uses scraps, especially Designer Paper.  I think this is a wonderful idea!  I'm not sure I'll get one posted every Sunday, but I'm all for using up those scraps and my stockpile of DP.  Other than the card base, this was made entirely of scraps.

I used the large frog from this set (retired I'm afraid).  I stamped him on DSP with Garden Green and cut him out.  Then I folded his legs, stuck his feet to the "lily pad" and used 3 dimensionals behind him to pop him up.  Actually he looks like he's trying to scare someone!  Doesn't he look like he just yelled BOO! ?

Thanks for stopping in.

Unfrogettable You

I emptied out my UFO (UnFinished Objects) box last night. I threw a lot of stuff away. There were all kinds of things I had not stamped very well and had kept for some reason. Some of them were done when I first started stamping and hated to part with anything. Oh how things change. There is a new catalog coming out and I need room for new stuff!

I took all of the good bits and pieces and put them in a box by my work table. The goal is to make cards from all of them before I ink up another stamp.

We'll see how long that lasts! So far I have gotten through today though.

This little guy had been put on a card a couple of years ago. When I realized the card was backwards and he was on the back cover, I cut him off. He was at the top of the box and when I saw the Sketch Challenge today, he hopped into my mind. He was a perfect fit. Well, not quite perfect but close enough. And I didn't ink up another stamp!

Now I need to keep my word about exercise and hurry this up so I can get a walk in.

Card Recipe
Stamps: Unfrogettable (this set retired several years ago)
Paper: Certainly Celery, Certainly Celery DSP, Whisper White, Handsome Hunter
Ink: Basic Black

I appreciate all the comments in the past week and all the visits. I hope you are leaving inspired and ready to unleash your own creativity. I enjoy visiting several blogs as well as Splitcoaststampers. I get so many wonderful ideas and even if I never use them myself, I enjoy looking.

I hope you get to stamp today...or get into your UFO box and find a permanent home for a design piece.

Have fun,
Bonnie
