Baby Luke: April

Uuuurrrrrggghhhh.  Lately Ryan has been having bad dreams and waking us up a lot in the middle of the night and the hubs and I are SO. TIRED. today but of course Ryan is all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and hyperactive.  Anybody know how to find a kid's off switch?

Buuut it's time for another layout from Baby Luke's baby book, so here it is:

My sister-in-law attended Texas Christian University, so this is my nod to the school colors and mascot.  I don't have any horned frog stamps (I did search online, and no luck) so I went with regular frogs from a past Sale-a-Bration stamp set, So Hoppy Together.  Paired with a favorite cloud pattern from an old pack of DSP and this layout came together pretty quick.

Cheers, y'all.  Send caffeine.

Supplies:
Stamps:  So Hoppy Together, Cauldron Bubble
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Blends in Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party
Paper:  Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Thick Whisper White, Gorgeous Grape DSP, Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP
Accessories:  Sizzix letters, Stitched Shapes dies

Froggy Encouragement

Happy Friday, y'all!  Is it just me, or has this week been particularly long and tough?  At least the kiddo slept through the night last night.  He usually does, but two nights this week he woke up screaming so none of us have gotten enough sleep this week.

But on to my card for today!  This card is actually already in a n envelope and on its way to the mailbox.

I made this for my sister-in-law, whose favorite color is purple and who loves frogs (and who went to TCU, where the mascot is a horned frog and the school colors are purple and white).  She's been having a really tough time at her job lately so I thought she could use a bit of froggy encouragement as she gets the heck out of there and goes on to something new.

I used the sketch from Fusion:

Happy 5th anniversary to the Fusion team :)  And I'm also entering this over at the Paper Players:

I had fun inking up the Sale-a-Bration set So Hoppy Together for the first time today, and I hope it makes my SIL smile when she gets it in the mail.

Okay, we're off to start one more day of busy-busy-busy, so cheers folks!
