Hello, Stamplings!
Well, that's January done then, 31 days whooshed by in the blink of an eye. Wish I'd stay on that diet 29 days ago, but that's wodka under the bridge now. What's done is done. Have a chocolate kiss.
We can't dwell on any kind of negativity while there are lovelorn frogs in the world! Do you see how he is looking at you?
His eyes are following you around the room because he woves you. Not woves you like a blanket, wuves you like a puppy. He is, of course, a colored and winked Purple Onion frog, sitting on a PTI oval, and encased in an MFT stitched heart. He wanted the heart cut from the pretty green paper because it looks so good with his skin color. His swoon was made, letter-by-letter, using Concord & 9th's Sophisticated Script, which I'm an idiot for not using more often.
Challenges
My Froggie all aswoon was created especially because CASology has such a fun and perfect cue card: SWOON! I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I didn't use a rectangle, but I think that's okay. And I'm entering CAS on Friday: Color Me Pretty.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

Wait. What? One card? Is Hammy okay? Yes, he's fine! He's letting me slow down a little while I patiently wait for new glasses, but I can see his little wheel spinning feverishly as he thinks up lots of future ideas!

I am swooning at that frog in his beautiful green heart Darnell - he's gorgeous, but then can't let Hammy feel left out, so give him a kiss from me - I'm not kissong that frog in case he turns into a prince...

Your frog is adorable and perfect for this month of love.x
ReplyDeleteHe is an absolutely gorgeous froggie!
ReplyDeleteHi Darnell, You just reminded me to change the calendar page.
ReplyDeleteLoving Froggy.
Hope you have a nice day. Sue
A funny and bit sweet card! The green looks so fresh! Groetjes, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card Darnell, I love the frog.
ReplyDeleteSue xx
Love your frog in his green heart...different and of course brings a smile to the face! Glad your eye ops went well....we will have to call you Hawkeye when you get your new glasses as you wont miss a trick!...lol....xxx
ReplyDeleteYep and those eyes are still looking at me even when I turns me IPad upside down and wadra mean I gotta wait 10 days to find out the next twofer challenge!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Mrs A.
Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a fun and woving frog, Darnell. Thanks so much for sharing your delightful card and humorous description!
ReplyDeleteI wuve the froggie and his bright eyes even though they are following me. He looks so cute in his pretty green heart. Oh my gosh, you did make me laugh when I read about how old I am!! Good thing I didn't have coffee in my mouth. Just think, if you tint your new lenses pink, you can look at the world through rose colored glasses every single day.
ReplyDeleteHero Arts.........Hello Tree and Friends. It's on Pinterest but I don't have Pinterest. I looked it up on Google by typing in Hi Hello Hugs Tree Stamp. Yay! I won! What did I win? Nothing? Well......you could send Hammy for a play date with Woolfie.
ReplyDeleteCute frog card. Miss Piggy would love him, too. Plus all of girls that kissed the frog and got our prince love him.
[Bunny]
Well that is just adorbs I love cute frogs. He could just follow me home anytime.
ReplyDeleteOh my, such a cute lovely frog! He is a prince, perhaps? I think he want a kiss LOL :D
ReplyDeleteAdorable CAS!
I'm not that keen on 'wodka', please can I have gin under the bridge instead? The little froggy is very cute and yes, the eyes...wooah, they're spooky :-D
ReplyDeleteLLJ xx
Such an adorable face on that frog. Well done on linking the letters for the sentiment...I too must use the set more often x No can't help you with the manufacturer on the text tree x Sorry x
ReplyDeleteI Love that super little froggie and those letters are fabulous..... not seen them before so I'm off ro hunt them down xx
ReplyDeleteYour card is fabulous Darnell. I love your little frog and he's coloured beautifully - a perfect CAS card x
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet fellow! The heart is just perfect for the sketch...adorable take on the challenge. Always glad to see you at FMS!
ReplyDeleteHi Darnell,
ReplyDeleteonly you could get wobbly eyed over a frog. LOL.
But seriously he is gorgeous and so cute.
Love everything about this card and your super design.
He could definitely win a staring comp. LOL.
Diet goodness I'm running for the hills as I should really be on one but I think I have given it the heave ho for now, but watch this space as they say.
Love and big crafty hugs from my house to yours. Jenny L.
Your froggy is so cute! I can't believe it's February all ready too. But it has seemed like a LONG winter (and it's not over yet!)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, so absolutely adorable!! He toadally makes me smile (get it ;) So fun and fabulous, Darnell!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

I am swooning over your wonderful card and that super cute frog! Hugs xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeleteYou've used my favorite frog, EVER! Never noticed how his eyes follow one nomo matteer the angle, though. Not sure I like it...kind of disconcering, isn't it? But still he looks so adorable on your card, I smell another winner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, so cute.
ReplyDeleteI know you are "patiently" waiting for your new glasses and hope they arrive soon. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. ((hugs))
Now that is just about the cutest frog out there. Love the heart perfect for the month of February. Wondering where January went!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable froggie! I love how he is inside a green heart frame too. And, yes, I can see how he is eyeing everyone who looks his way too. So cute!
ReplyDeleteYour "ribbet" friend is simply adorable....I am swooning. ;) Plus I think he "likes" me....his eyes are still following me. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little guy to have swooning over me! Love the green heart that is so perfect to frame him! My diet has consisted of more chocolate kisses than diet food. Maybe that's why I'm not losing weight!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little critter! Love this cute card...and I need to use those letters a little more often too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet froggie wonderfully coloured and winked Darnell, and the stitched heart frames him beautifully. The Sophisticated Script is definitely on my wish list as it is the perfect all purpose alphabet to make single words to go with anything and a great size too. x
ReplyDeleteHe is a cutie-patooty.
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie patootie and I love his little green heart! Those fonts look amazing in that fun sentiment too! Now I need to go hide cuz I have this feeling he's still wooking at me :)
ReplyDeleteLove chocolate kisses... sending some back to you.....

Yes, where did January go?!! Of course winter can't fly by fast enough for me though! lol I am swooning over this handsome guy! Frogs are my favorite and I am really loving this guy! I love the way you have colored him and made him sparkle Auntie! A great take on the sketch and no, I don't think it matters if you used a rectangle or not! lol Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteFabulous froggy Darnell, and I love that you created your own sentiment.
ReplyDeleteso cute, everyone loves a green frog and a great sentiment. I have that letter set but never think to use them.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've ever been wuved by a frog and such an adorable one too! Adore your sweet card and sentiment!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that frog definitely looks lovestruck. Poor thing. Hope he finds his true love before Feb. 14.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a funny image & how clever to use him with the heart, Darnell!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun image Darnell and coloured beautifully x
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card. I have always thought he was a very cute frog. Love the way you had the patience to stamp each letter to make your own sentiment.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea inspired by the word. I like the funny guy and his eyes. Your colouring is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend,
Hugs,
Sonja
This little guy is just too cute ..... Love him xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie, Darnell. The heart frame highlights him perfectly. I wuve him!
ReplyDeleteJanuary did not go by as quickly as I’d like... I was hit again with another flu earlier this week just to cap off January the way I started it! 😷🤧😔 UUUGH! February can only get better. 🙏
Have a great day. xx
Your little frog is so cute and looks perfect on the card.
ReplyDeleteLia xx
Very nice card!
ReplyDeletehugs
What a fun way to start my morning, reading this cute post. Here at our house, DH loves frogs. I only like the cute ones. Which this one is! He looks grand in the pale green heart, and I love that script on the sentiment. It's a perfect V card, and I Wove it! Rest ya eyes when you can! TFS & Happy wkend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHe's sure got me swooning after him! I love frogs and used to collect their ceramic kind years ago, until so many pairs of eyes looking down at me from the shelf gave me an inferiority complex while freaking me out!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Em xoxo
He is wonderful!! xx
ReplyDeleteAww, he really is adorable and I do love his eyes, I really do your new glasses come soon - I do hope Hammy doesn't work you too hard in the meantime! Hugs, Annie xx
ReplyDeleteOh such a cute card, Darnell. Love the scripty 'swoon' and that awesome heart die! I would kiss this frog ~ maybe get a handsome prince :-}
ReplyDeleteYup this cute frog does wuve! I love the coloring. The little green heart adds a nice touch to the design. The sentiment looks amazing in that font. Thank you for joining us at CASology Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteHugs

What a cute frog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Cas on Friday!
Oh Darnell, you do make me laugh! Love your handsome frog with his flawless colouring x
ReplyDeleteAww, I wove him, too! What a darling Valentine he makes, sitting there all sparkly in his skin-matched heart frame. He makes ME swoon! Love those letters. Yes, you should use them more... big talk from a person who has a basket full of NBUS, right? I do have a feeling I'm being watched. Can you see me though his eyes?
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous frog Darnell! love it huggles Sue xx
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And the coloring is awesome! Thanks for joining us at CASology!

ReplyDeleteDarnell, How cute! Think I'm in love with this little swooner.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that was scrumptious, Darnell ... the chocolate I mean ... you didn't think I'd want to eat this dapper little chap? He's a cutie ... I might even consider kissing him ... looks as though he has the potential to be a sweetheart of a prince! LYAMYHMA ... HTEATEWNG! Big hugs & bisous, Anita :)
