Unfrogettable...that's what you are...

Today's card features a silly little frog cut from the new Creative Memories "This and That" cartridge.  My friend Nadine is a CM consultant and let's me play with the new CM cartridges when they come out! The frog is cut at 2 1/2".  I used the same green for all layers, inking the edges with Peeled Paint distress ink.  Once it was all put together, I ran it through the Cuttlebug   I used my little heart shaped punch for the eyes, adding black gems for the eyeballs.  The grass and lilies were stamped using the Daydreamers set from Papertrey.  Love that set! Sentiment is from Stampin' Up! and I cut the cloud on the Cricut.  The lily pad was made from an oval shape. which I trimmed and inked.  Some swirls in the water and some polka dot ribbon finish it up.  Whew!  It took lots of trial and error before this one came together, but I'm pleased with the finished product!

Tea for Two

I must...stop...making...cards....

I have about a hundred other things to do, but somehow seem to find myself in the craft room puttering with cards!  I made this teapot using the new "This and That" cartridge from Creative Memories. After much deliberation, trial and error, blood, sweat and tears, my little teapot finally made its way to a finished card!

The bottom border punch on the "tablecloth" is from Martha Stewart, and I ran that through the Cuttlebug to get the embossed wavy line through it. The paper is a hodge podge from my collection.  I tried to machine stitch around the edge, but had some trouble with that, so Plan B (or was it C or D?) included faux stitches with my pen.  The sentiment stamps are from Scrappy Moms.   I'm pleased with the results so I guess it's time to get started on that "to-do" list!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!  Have a great day!
