Just a Few Froggy Favorites
I was looking through the July Froggy Favorites thread at The Lilypad and was blown away once again by the talent and beauty represented in our Gallery. Today, I wanted to pick out just a few pages to show you. And believe me, choosing a few among all of that awesome-ness was not an easy task.I hope you are just as inspired by these as I was...The first page is actually the 1st page in the thread.

Shine ElementsShine PaperWhen I need a fast, simple card, I'm always amazed at the impact placing a patterned paper and a couple of elements on a card front and printing it off as a single piece piece. For this card I set up a canvas of 5.5" high and 8.5" wide, this is the same as half a sheet of letter paper which folded in half … [Read more...]
