I punched a frog!

I punched a frog...oh, yes I did! Isn't he cute? I saw this cute little guy on Heather's blog, Stamp with Heather and had to make him! I deviated from the pattern alittle but the whole frog is made with punches; circles, ovals and the littlest boho flower. (Who needs a Cricut anyway?....bawwwww, I do, I do!!!!) The bubble DP is MS and I used the brass stencil below to emboss little waves in the water. It's amazing what pops into your head when you are creating! This project started when I saw the challenge over at Daring Cardmarkers (frog or fish) and the sketch for Friday sketchers. I hope you have the opportunity to punch a frog too, it's so much fun!

I'm shocked I was able to make a card for a challenge the same day it was issued, besides my crafting space was completely put away! We had friends over and we needed the space. I love to craft but it easily takes over and other things start to slide. So many times we say to our friends, "oh, we'll have to get together!" Then it never happens, so last week, I made phone calls with my day planner in hand and made "dates" for some of our families to get together. Within days we were calling to re-schedule and re-arrange, why is this so difficult? But, alas, we did it. We have gatherings on Sat & Sun yet, which I'm looking forward to {waving! } then we will slip back into routine I'm sure, hopefully not forgetting to do this more often! I hope you have a chance to nourish your friendships online and off! {{squishy hugs to you all}} Blessings!
