Swoon!

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?
How about now? Can you see how he is still 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.
For your blog
~~~

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

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and a special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower!  Please let me know you came by so I can be sure to return the favor!

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!

  11. I 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.

  12. Hero 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.

    Cute frog card. Miss Piggy would love him, too. Plus all of girls that kissed the frog and got our prince love him.

  20. Hi Darnell,
    only 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.

  24. You'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.

  25. What a fun card, so cute.
    I know you are "patiently" waiting for your new glasses and hope they arrive soon. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. ((hugs))

  26. Now that is just about the cutest frog out there. Love the heart perfect for the month of February. Wondering where January went!

  27. What 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!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Your "ribbet" friend is simply adorable....I am swooning. ;) Plus I think he "likes" me....his eyes are still following me. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. What 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!

    ReplyDelete
  30. What an adorable little critter! Love this cute card...and I need to use those letters a little more often too! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Such 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

  32. He'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 :)

  48. He'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!
    Hugs,
    Em xoxo

  54. Aww, 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?

  69. I come to this place every now and then. The place is really nice, the crowd is full of regulars, and the food and drink specials are pretty good! The staff at San Francisco venues is great and really gets to know your name. Totally worth your time on any night for good food and drink.
