Yep, that's right…. a Leap Year! When I was a kid I was told that Leap Years were the years when girls could ask a guy out on a date, to a dance or even propose marriage to him! Wow, that was weird to me! Of course, now, it's not so strange at all!
When I thought about that and knew I needed to use a frog in my Cut It Up creation this time, I had a good idea what I wanted to do. To make it all the better, Bugaboo is sponsoring our challenge and I found Princess Charlie there! She would be perfect for my idea!!
I went into Design Space and found banners, hearts and my letters for the sentiment. I arranged it on the card front and flattened it. Then I flattened the frog from Create a Critter and cut him. I imported Princess Charlie into DS, cut and colored her with pencils and Copics. I embellished with some glitter and gems!
I'm not sure if little Princess Charlie is feeling a bit disgusted or shocked at having to kiss that little love-struck frog!

I loved this little card when I saw it in the FB album, and I love it even more after reading how you made it! I got an Explore for Christmas and am still trying to figure out how to use it within my crafting style. Thanks for the screen shots and little tutorial!

Love this card, Katrina, it's adorable. My husband loves frogs and because of that I have grown to love them too...we used to have over 100 frogs in our gardens back east; but when we moved to the dessert we didn't think they would be appropriate, but we have added some.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Thanks for entering our CAS challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps' Catch the Bug blog this week. Good luck in the draw. Please join us again soon.
