The Friday Free For All Challenge this week (F4A546 - Hello - 8/7/20), was to use the word hello or hi on a card.
I had this goofy bright colored frog panel in my stuff-to-be-used pile. It was a sample that I cut months ago when my Simon Says Stamps frog dies first arrived...and Iâm embarrassed to admit that I didnât think to use it before this challenge!
Since the theme for the challenge was hello, a word bubble seemed like a fun way to show off the aperture with the Talking Frog.
After trying a gazillion colors behind the frog faces, none of which looked right, I happily discovered that I had a roll of Washi tape with the words hello & hi!! Yippee! It was super easy to apply the tape on the panel behind the frogs. To avoid hello-overload, I found 2 other Washi tape designs that had identical colors. How is that for a serendipitous find in Washi tape collection?!
To give the smiling frogs some dimension, I popped used foam tape behind their faces - then added goo-goo eyes to finish.
I made this card for a Christian friend who is needing some encouragement right now. We both use the word FROG as and acronym for Fully Rely On God, and I know she will smile BiG when she gets this as happy mail.
Thanks so very much for swinging by to look at my froggie hello card. Happy day to you!

Super fun and cute! Terrific use of the dies. Love the washi tape behind the frogs. The googlie eyes are fabulous. Great card for your friend. I always think of the same acronym when I see a frog. Well done!

So fun and sweet at the same time. Love that fun die and the googly eyes. The Hellooooo reminds me of how we joke about the way the Royals talk, lol. Totally great card and love the lime color!
