Hoppy Birthday

This weeks challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner is Design a Kids Card, and since my grandson's birthday is this month, I made him a birthday card. I decided to make an easel card. I used the image Boy With Frogs from Dearie Dolls.
I also used Toadily - clear stamps by Penny Black. I colored my images with Spectrum Noir markers. I typed my sentiments on my computer and printed them out and cut them out with Spellbinder dies. I also used Spellbinder dies for my image.The plaid paper and little blue flowers are from Paper Studio. I made little springs out of jewelry wire and hot glued them under the lower frogs. I wanted them to be raised and movable - springy. Lastly, I glued blue gems across the lower card as stops for the easel. I am hoping my grandson likes his card and I hope you do too. Thank you for stopping by.


Autumn Leaves

This week at Totally Stampalicious the challenge is Fall Colors. I decided to use the Bugaboo Brats image - Autumn Leaves.

I cut my image and a background piece of card stock with Spellbinders dies, I did the same with my sentiment. I had some really cute fall leaves embellishments so I added a few of them.

Back to the real world, vacation is over. We had a great week, now it's time to unload and clean the travel trailer and do all the laundry. But it is well worth it! We had great weather until this morning when we woke up to the sound of thunder at 6:30am. We scurried around and broke camp before the downfall. Sad to see summer coming to an end.
This week at Bugaboo Stamps' challenge blog,  Catch the Bug, the theme is Anything Goes. This is the card I made and is described in the post below. I attempted to post this while I was on vacation but I only had my ipad and I couldn't get it to work. I hope you all had a great Labor Day! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll come back soon.
