Hey there! How zit goin'?
I have a QACAS post for you. We have had a super fun, but super busy weekend. I only had a few minutes in the Playhouse to make a card for a youngster person, so I decided to bring out The Three Frogs for your card listening pleasure. Seeing as how it's springtime, they are croaking for all they're worth, trying to attract them lady froggers. If you open the card, you'll find one of those advanced doohinkies which plays Hoppy Birthday, croaked by The Three Frogs. The Mister heard it and said it sounds just like when I sing Happy Birthday.
I said, "What did you just say?" and shot him a look.
I love doing that. I'm always surprised by how fast he can still run at his age.

Here are The Three Frogs doing what they do best:
Besides my need for a birthday card, I made this card to remind you that there is still time to play in the Addicted to CAS (ATCAS) challenge where I am honored to be Guest Designer for May. The current challenge is Off the Edge and I'd love to see your card in the gallery! Here is the link.
And the idea for my card came from the current challenge at CASology, which is another favorite challenge of mine. This week the code word word is SPLASH!
Both of these challenges are really fun and even if you don't participate, you would be doing yourself a favor if you hop over and check out the sensational DT cards each week!

What a fun card Darnell, and a fun story to boot! Cathy x
GOOD GRIEF CHARLEY BROWN! I can hear crickets and not the stampede of thunderous multitudes proceeding before me. I think I'm going to faint. LOL...I think. Beautiful and very cute card Darnell.I have to sit. Only one person commented before me. Holy Moly.
They sure look hoppy, I mean happy!! Super cute card Darnell. I thought I saw lightening earlier, but not a cloud in the sky. Must have been that "lightening fast" hubby of yours ;)
Love those frogs!
Hugs, Neet xx
Oh, this is such a cute card, and those frogs are just darling. Thank you so much for playing along at CASology this week.
Great card!! who would not love three tenor frogs, expertly colored, holding flowers and singing?
Well done!
Patti
Oh, this card is just so much fun, Darnell!!! Hope Hammy didn't have the chopped off head of the 3rd frog for breakfast - he might end up with an upset tummy!!!
Love your card!!
Have a super week!!
Greetings from SA!
What a fun card, Darnell! Your froggies are too CUTE, and I love that you used your 'Watercoloring Expertise' in the process!
So happy to know that you can still intimidate the Mister after all these years...you go, girl! Oh, and thanks for the reminder to get my card finished for the ATCAS challenge :-)
Hi Dolly. Cute card ... those frogs will make anyone smile! :) Love that you've watercolored them and the splashes of water. Getting good use out of the classes! Lolly xx

Kathyk
Such a fun card!Have a fun week, Gerrina
Great fun card Darnell. Love those froggies! Maybe they could jump over to my pond, as I had no frog spawn this year and no frogs to be seen!! hugs Sue x
This is such a terrific and fun card, it really did make me smile (thank you!). I love the frogs - they look like they have already found Mrs Froggie... As for the singing, if Mister heard mine he would definitely think it was a croaking frog.... Hugs, Annie xx
WOW - that card is FAB Darnell. I just love it. HOPPY Birthday indeed!
Hugs, from Sun Hat Sarn! xxx
Such a fun card Darnell, love those splashes as well, so realistic!

These are certainly happy chappies! Love their googlie eyes! Xx
A splash-tastic card! Love those frogs!
Great hippetty hoppetty card there Darnell. How do you know they are tenors? Jumping that high I would have thought they were sopranos!
Hugs
xx
Those frogs are so adorable! Love how much they are splashing around and also that you gave them flowers to hold!
Super cute card, Darnell! Love the adorable frogs jumping "off the edge" of your card!
The frogs are so cute Darnell, and your watercolouring is great. I love those pretty flowers too. x
Such an adorable card, Darnell. I really love that splashing water.
Cute funny about someone telling me I don't need anymore crafting supplies. HHAHA
Such a cute card Darnell. And I love your saying regarding Craft Supplies. Too funny but true...
Love the images (frogs and splashes) and of course the back story - (especially where Mister has to run - I'm always amazed at what comes out of the mouths of men, it's like they have no survival instinct! lol) So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
Such a fab card Dippy - love those boingey frogs doing what they do best.......boing, boing, etc etc!!! lol Love to see that look you give Mister! Glad you had such a good weekend - we've just got back from a weekend away seeing one of Tony's best friends get married; it was a lovely time and great catching up with everyone.
Hugs.

What a fun card!! She will love it! I had a very restful weekend and loved every minute of it lol!
Darnell what a happy, splashy birthday card. Love them froggies.
Your cards are always so happy Darnell - I have been immediately cheered up by your singing frogs and your sprinting Mister! Hugs, Vicky x
LOL! Darnell, think of "the look" as encouraging the Mister to do some cardio when he runs in terror! Love your card! Those froggies are adorable and love how you made them all hopping and splashing in the water!
Love these little fun frogs, and one was so happy and eager to hop around that he jumped right off the edge! Clever take on the theme!
Yay!!! I'm not #66 today!!!!! I know I'm behind in commenting, but am really trying to catch up! Grandson Carter is a big fan of frogs. So for me, anything that trips their triggers, make me smile. And this frolicking frog card certainly did that! Splashes and sparkles...don't they just go together??!! Laughed about the Mister's ability to run...my DH just plays deafer.. Gotta love 'em, don't we?!! Have a great week dear friend. Bev
Hi Darnell, hope you are well. Love your happy and cheery card. Thank you so much for joining us this week at CASology
Just brilliant, Darnell ... your splashy happy chorus of tenor frogs and your post ... hope the mister didn't do himself an injury with his quick-off-the-mark running! Anita :)
What a fun and "hoppy" card you created. So glad you shared it. I am not getting very creative either but am getting my spring plants out now that it is no longer freezing. That is a good project too!
Such a fab, fun make!

QACASAF (add and fun)! The splashes are almost as fun as the frogs! And what a great idea to have a doohinky that plays hoppy birthday! Super QACASAF!

Those frogs are fabulous Darnell! Love the very cute image and the splashes you have stamped - well the whole thing is fabulous and fun! Hope you have a good week Karen xx
Such a fun card, Darnell! Love these adorbs frogs!

Fabulous fun card Darnell - love the sparkly splashes.
I have plenty of frogs in my pond but sadly no PB frogs :(
Why oh why are they in such short supply!
LOVE your very funny phrase - I agree entirely!!
Hope you are having a lovely week. xx
So cute! Love how the one frog hopped higher so that his flower extends over the top of the card. :)
And love that meme too, about not needing that kind of negativity in one's life. Seriously!
...just printed out the sign and hung it on my craft room door!!!
Three frolicking froggies
busy splashing about
Will definitely bring smiles
of that I have no doubt!
The frogs are quite handsome
in their fine suits of green
Jumping & splashing
The best that I've seen
With flowers & sparkles
and water splashes too
Makes me feel a need to
run to the loo!
Yeah, I know...a bit lame but fun!
(messed up on my poem, so had to do a delete comment!)
Thank you for my laughs for the day! I love the card and your humor. Must be such fun living near you and Mister. (Geri is quite a poet, too!- yes I enjoy reading the comments.)

What a fun card - great job on the two challenges with this!
Great, (and fun) card and wonderful post! (As always) I enjoyed Geri's poem too (In your comments!
I love your little frogs hippity hopping through the puddles. And I can just see the recipient's face when they hear the 3 tenors sing. :)
Love the watercoloring, there is a great movement to this card too, oh and it is pretty darn cute!
OMG, Darnell! So awesome!! Loving having you as a guest at ATCAS ;)
Oh my...your post is a delight - and Geri's poem is nothing short of brilliant! She's such a poet! Laughed out loud at the 'look that precipitates a run' scene - and yes, I, too, have given said look to my husband. He takes that as a sign to get on his bike...and go. Fast! Your froggie card: love!! Hugs~c
I love your card! So much fun!
So cute, Darnell! Bet it was a hit!
