Recently I heard a story from a child whose "pet frog" ran away. I decided to make a card to bring a smile, and I placed the frog inside the jar so it can't run off like the real one did. LOL
I used some papers and card stock from Lawn Fawn, embossing the panel with a Next Level Gemstone ef from WeRMemoryKeepers.
The frog, jar, and sentiment are all from the 2004 Stamp set "All Wrapped Up" and I fussy cut the jar and lid after coloring and embossing them with clear detail ep.
I based the design of this card on the MFT Wednesday sketch challenge #446
I used an old, retired stamp set as well, so I'll enter this into the Retro Rubber Challenge #115 -Color Me!- which is to use the colors of purple, green, and yellow and always use a stamp more than 1 year old.
I used leftover snippets and I'll enter this into the Snippets Playground #357.
Also entering into the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies 28th challenge since there's a critter on this card :)

Fun card Carol, and love so much the tri-colours embossed background, fabulous 3D look! The jar pops against it! The frog looks so cute! :) Brilliant work as always!!
Hugs!
Another great snippets make, Carol, and use of pretty pp, which looks especially cool embossed! Your sweet little frog in the jar reminds me of our pet frog, Fred. Not very original, I know, but little Dan named him when he brought him home at the end of the school year when no one else would take him. That little tree frog ended up living in an aquarium with us for two years and he used to hop over to the end of the tank and jump up on the glass whenever I came into the room. Sniff. I still miss that little guy and feel guilty, since I'm pretty sure he only passed away because we got a little puppy to raise and I stopped giving Fred attention. So thank you for reminding me of the happy times with our little smiling Fred! (Do I share this same memory every time you make a frog card? Showing my age, lol!) Hugs, Darnell
How CUTE!!! Love the frog in the jar. Great background too with that embossing. Fantastic card.
