Title:Froggie went a-courtin' Hostess: lurasfaith (Lura) Keyword:LeapMiniVSBN02 Day/Date: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Time: 8:30 PM
Frogs are the first things that entered my mind when I thought about Leap Year. I'm not sure why, but I hope you have fun with it! (Sorry if the song gets stuck in your head!) I couldn't find lyrics and a video that matched so it is fine to use either version of the song.
Here is the GALLERY for this challenge...leave a little luv for everyone!

I know I'm having trouble with SCS so I believe Lura must be having trouble getting on-line. This is her challenge (lurasfaith). Enjoy it and as soon as I can attach the gallery and my sample page I will.
I googled and found a you tube video with Tex Ritter singing it. I remember this song now but I've got to really think to see if I can make a Disney page with it....any ideas?
Okay, the links should be working. I have out of town company coming tomorrow AM so I need to run and do some house work. Hopefully Lura will come on soon! I'll check back in a bit...
Well. I think I know where I'm going to go with this but I have to find the instructions to do the out of bounds technique again on my one picture. I'm just about wiped for the day though so I'll work on this tomorrow when I'm not so tired and I can find things better. Have a good night.....

I'm probably s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g her idea of the theme but I'm scrapping my son playing "driveway" basketball... LOL!
I just went with the Frog...luckily I had a photo...otherwise, I'm not sure what I would have done. Okay ladies, I need to sign off. I'm not sure what happened to Lura but you're all in capable hands with each other! :-)
DON'T FORGET TO COME BACK FOR A WEEKEND OF SCRAPPY FUN MARCH 30, 31, & APRIL 1!!!!
Hey! I finally made it! We have had some pretty bad storms about all day and a tornado watch for our county this evening. Satellite internet isn't very weather friendly :( I'm heading over to the gallery to check out some pages!!!!

Use "miss mousey" and do something with Minnie Mouse?

Great challenge, too bad we had internet issues tonight. I keep getting dumped off. I have my pages done, I'll photo and upload in a few minutes. Need to finish up the first challenge so I can upload both at the same time
This has been a GREAT LEAP Day Celebration

Fun, and oh so thought provoking, challenge Lura!
I have just the pics I will use - must admit mine will not compare in awesomeness to Terri!!
Got to go to bed and get up early for work. But, watch out when I get home - I'm playing this one! Can't wait to see what the rest of us come up with too.

Use "miss mousey" and do something with Minnie Mouse?
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to go back through my pics to see if I have any with her in it...not sure since I took the grandSON to Disney and he wasn't real enthused with "girl" things ;)
Ok, apparently it's not just the poor evening lighting in my house that makes it impossible to get a good pic of these pages! LOL. I got it as clear as I could. I think it doesn't help that all the pics are rather dark because they were taken in a gym with no windows... LOL.

Take it from me, who takes a lot of photos in gyms, they are BRUTAL for lighting! I don't know which photo editing program you use, but I have recently learned while playing with iPhoto that I can lighten photos really nicely by adjusting the shadow on them, rather than over-exposing them.
I really like your pages - very classic!

Here's my page. I really liked Stampaholic's idea to use Minnie Mouse but I didn't have any pictures to use so I went with the "color" of the frog for my page! It worked out well.
Love that video, Faith! I think I have some photos that will work, although, not frog ones. I had a great frog one, but it is already scraped! I will go look for the photos I am thinking of!
Sharon
Didn't find the photos that I wanted to scrap, but was inspired to scrap these photos! I loved that video, and where they have the wedding in the hollow of a tree, we found a letterbox in the hollow of a tree. And I think the turtle is on the way to the wedding! LOL Here is turtle.
Thank you for a wonderful challenge lurafaith. Is your name Faith or Lura?
Sharon
I just realized that I finished my pages the night of VSBN and uploaded them to the gallery but forgot to link back to the thread ... oops
My page is a little bit of a stretch on the theme but that's what VSBN is for right? In these pages my boys are "courtin' " but they're playing basketball, LOL! At least it's driveway basketball where you'll find the frogs at my house.
I made my page for this challenge, but since it's Sunday, I'll upload tomorrow. Happy that I got this one done! One more week until spring break and then I'll have all week to play (except the few hours I'll have to work on Monday)!
