Mistle-toad

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: LOL/That's Funny

Here is my card for your inspiration:
Doesn't this card make you laugh??  This was my daughter's idea.  I was going to use this frog stamp set and was trying to figure out what to hang off the bow for the "mistle-toe".  My daughter suggested attaching the frog to the string.  At first I wasn't so sure, but I tried it and she was right!  I added a sprinkling of snowflakes with a dot of silver stickles in the centers.  I was planning on it being super CAS, but thankfully, at the last minute I remembered that I was supposed to use a die cut!  So, I quickly cut a panel out of the already finished card and adhered it to another card base.  Crisis averted!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Memory Box "Be Hoppy"
Dies: My Favorite Things "Blueprints 25" stitched rectangle
