i mailed out my cards today for a Happy Birthday Swap over @ SCS...i did one funny and one serious...i really like the SC296 sketch so i used it for my serious card...the peridot flower gem is sooo much prettier irl...gotta work on my photo skills...

the funny card i did using the frog from SU Birthday Banter...i love that set...but then again i love most every set i have...and finding new ones to love all the time... i think this is the first time i've used ink on an embossing folder...and one of the few times i've sponged color on a card...i think it turned out well...the black ribbon was used purposely to go with the sentiment..."we may not be tadpoles anymore but at least we haven't croaked"...also submitting this one for the Cuttlebug #100 Happy Birthday Challenge
