Frog Hoppy Birthday
As part of my weekend activities I’m attending a birthday party for a one year old. My little friend has a bedroom decorated in bright blue, yellow and green with frogs so that decided the colors and general theme. It would have been more accurate to use Yo Yo Yellow, but PTI’s Lemon Tart was much easier on the eyes. Although she can’t read or understand the “Hoppy for you” greeting, I figure if she smiles and grabs it and waves it around it will probably mean she likes it. I put plenty of Stickles glitter on the flowers to attract her attention.
Since I was making this type of card, I decided to hop on over to Libby’s blog and take a look at this week’s From Courtney’s Closet challenge. Sure enough, I found sweet little Courtney in an absolutely darling dress — green with white flowers — and so I had the inspiration for finishing the card. If you’d like to see an inspiration challenge different from any other I’ve come across and if you love sweet baby girls and their adorable clothes and you enjoy some entertaining reading, you might like to check it out. This is my third time playing her challenge and I love the way it encourages me to break the routine and have a little silly fun. Thanks, Libby!
The rest of the card’s information is summed up in the recipe, below. I’m off and running now to see how much more I can get done before Monday. Have a great day!
- Stamps: CTMH Frogs, Dots & Daisies background, Happiness background (both SU!), greeting from SU! Very Punny frog, Posh Impressions grass
- Paper: Whisper White, Brilliant Blue, Wild Wasabi, PTI Lemon Tart
- Ink: Palette Noir, Wild Wasabi, markers for coloring
- Accessories: Ribbon, daisy punch, brads, Scotch brand foam mounting tape
Froggie hop cuteness! Deb
This is adorable, Leslie. My guess is that even a one year old is going to love it, too! Hopping you had fun at the party! hehe
Super cute, Leslie!! Love that color combo.
oh so sweet! I love that Daisy background. You’ve inspired me to get mine out and play with it today!
Oh, it’s a sweet card!! Just perfect for a little one!
This is adorable, and I’m sure your one-year-old friend will LOVE it!! The froggies are so cute, and the sparkly flowers are sure to get her attention!! A fantastic entry once again for Libby’s challenge!!
This is absolutely adorable Leslie, I’m sure your little friend’s MOM will love it if not the birthday girl herself.
I’m so glad I helped encourage you to have a little silly fun… 
Thanks so much for playing again!!

Love the blue added into the color combo and the use of the sets in this card. Makes me hoppy as well. ;D
OMGOSH! This is just to die for! I LOVE all the detail you added. Fantastic!
Those little frogs are so cute!!! Your card is adorable!! I love blue and green together…it reminds me of a favorite wool skirt I had in high school. I wonder what ever happened to that skirt? Not that I could fit in it now, but the fabric was wonderful!
This is just adorable - and WHAT a fun challenge Libby has going on!!! Thanks!!!
such cute frogs, and pretty flowers!
