Sigh. I am a cheater's cheater. As a Teapotter, cheating is quite socially acceptable, but in the classy world of Karen Barber's color challenge it is quite another thing...
This week our cards are going to Tyler, an 8 year old boy in Wisconsin who recently had heart surgery. For details and to play along, hop on over to the Teaparty: MMTPT267 ~Oh Freddy start croakin', Rick's heart will be broken!~ by momof5sons at Splitcoaststampers
I stamped & applied the GA on this card, punched some red hearts and cut the black denim pocket on Sunday, sure that I could get it done on Monday night in time to post. Alas, when we got home from DS's home at 11:30 (after watching Monday night football) I was too exhausted to finish it. Lo and Behold this morning I discovered that the swanky Karen posted a delightful color combination that I could incorporate. I colored the black denim with Copic B19 to get a darker blue, found this ruched Muse-colored paper in me stash and cut a scalloped (dessert!) Strawberry heart instead. Cheater. PC generated and punched the sentiment. PT - 3
I {heart} you and your wonderful combinations, Karen. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Great combining - nothing cheating there! I bet that frog looks fantastic in real life if he's all Glossy. And at least you were far-sighted enough to get that part done well in advance .

Hi Marie - just got in from a night and a full day of scrapbooking but could not let this adorable froggie-in-the-pocket go by without a cheer! How innovative and precise to get both challenges done with a little ingenuity - love that you brought dessert ( I frog-got! ) Tyler will get a big kick out of your card -wonder if he ever tried to put a frog in his pocket!!??? Hugs!
