Good morning, blogging peeps! :)
Today's card is one of those cards I made just for fun as summer
winds down to a close here in South Florida. I channeled my son
when I was creating this card, who will soon have a birthday!
I pulled out one of my High Hopes stamps in order to play along with their current challenge, use your favorite embellishment!
And I absolutely ADORE buttons!
I don't have many HH stamps now but I cherish the ones that I do, like this one ~ "Froggy Gift"
I used the coordinating sentiment to the inside of the card.
The funny thing is, my son is terrified of frogs,
but I'm sure he will be delighted with this one :)
To create my card layout, I used the great sketch from
Freshly Made Sketches #98! {see below}
Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!
