I had never heard of Sweetest Day until I was given the challenge on MFPSPEEDYTV to do a card for Sweetest Day. I looked it up and it seems, according to Wikipedia, it is celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes region and parts of the Northeast United States on the third Saturday in October. Being in the South, we never celebrated that day.
I am guessing it is kin to Valentine's Day and some folks think it may have been started by candy companies...hmm....
I am using this cute froggie from a stamp set called Our Side of the Pond from Mark's Finest Papers. The sentiment from MFP is from the set, Our Family Tree.
I popped the frog's head and the cattails. Once again, I am using the Martha Stewart punch around the page that I think looks just like frogs. It is called Quilted. I am sure I am not supposed to be seeing frogs..ha

Do you REALLY think we want to know about all your investigation on this subject? Tryin' to let us think youz got some brainz at your ripe old age I guess. Aside from that, you did a top notch froggy job on this one Benz. It's so fun and love the dimensional features. I figured this one was meant for me cuz it says SWEETEST DAY and I know that was the day you met me!!! You luck old lady!
