I drew a complete blank trying to design a card for my 10-year-old granddaughter's birthday (nothing new there). Ten is such a transitional age, stuck somewhere between princess dolls and boyfriends. I pulled out one of my favorite Cricut cartridges, Paisley, because I knew I could find something cute and girly, but not too babyish for a girl about to start her final year of elementary school. This little frog "jumped" out at me. I used mushroom-patterned paper from a Heidi Grace pad for the background and glitter cardstock for the frog's shadow (a little bling never hurt anybody). I added sparkly trim and a flower brad. Done.
It was simple and quick and finished on time. She "ooh"ed and "aah"ed over it and that's what keeps me crafting.
Love the card! How great that you picked a frog considering our lake adventures and my subsequent card for her. (I'm assuming you did this before the lake trip.)
