Well, every little boy likes to go to a pond and look for frogs, so, here we go. I used an amphibian embossing folder for the frame paper, Green double dot as the card. The frog is even on a small stick from the yard...have no idea how I'm sending it but, it had to be there!! I even included some hearts! The cat tail die is from Spellbinders, I cut it in smaller pieces and spread it around some.

I love absolutely everything about your card: the texture, the color, the stamps, the sentiment... and of course the gorgeous froggie!

You'll laugh at this. It started out as a "where is waldo" moment. I searched for your frog everywhere knowing he was there in that marsh. Then I read the sentiment and there he was. I love it all especially the frog, how unique he is. Beautifully done.

What a great card, Robin!! Like Elizabeth, my eye didn't fall on Freddy right away either...but when it did, WOW! Love your images, embossing folder and paper choices as well as the way you used your die cuts. Grab plenty of cookies, 'cause you've earned them! Thanks for all that you put into this...Tyler is going to love it! Thanks for being part of his Teaparty...Hugz from NJ!

I thought I would be the only crazy teapotter playing "where's wally". I feel downright honoured to be in the good company of Elizabeth and Marie. How could I possibly have overlooked this cute frog!! Robin I love everything about this, a Fav for sure. I chuckled at your story too.

OMGosh I did the same thing...where is the frog? I had to do a double take to find him! How creative is that? He's hiding in plain sight! LOL! GREAT card!
