Frogs and Snails - OSAAT Challenge # 218

Good morning to you all.  We had a fabulous day on Friday when we went to Longleat. The weather was beautiful, but as Patricia said - it was very warm having to drive through with the windows up.  We did have one hitch hiker but fortunately he didn't do any damage - unless you count peeing down the back windscreen!  He jumped on the roof, walked along the roof, and then climbed down and just perched on the passenger wing mirror staring at John until it was time to leave the monkey enclosure.  My favourite animals were the giraffes and tigers - both such beautiful creatures.

Today it is time for another card for OSAAT.  This will be the last one before we break for the summer - but we will be back in September!  The theme this week is "Anything Goes". Don't forget if you use an image from our sponsor Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet you could win seven digi images.  There is also a prize even if you don't use one of these images, so there is no excuse.  We'd really love to see your entry.

My Card




My card is 6" x 6" square.  Believe it or not the green backing papers are all from a Papermania Traditional Christmas Pack that I've had more than 10 years. Okay some of it can only be used for Christmas, but at least half of the pack is so useful for other things.

The image I have used is 4You by BBKakes.  It comes with a matching girl image.  I initially planned to use the little girl but I couldn't get this nursery rhyme out of my head, and couldn't really think of anything for a little girl - so it had to be the boy.  I coloured it with Promarkers.   The ladybirds were a magazine freebie from many moons ago and I found the snail image on t'internet.  I just had to add the googly eyes because they seemed to match the smiley snail image so well.

Hope you are all well and have had a good weekend so far.  Take care.

What a fabulous card, and I love that you used the Christmas paper for the bkgrnd. It's just perfect for this cute little boy image, and the wonderful rhyme. Loved the lady bugs too. This would be a great card to submit to Darnell's NBUS challenge (link is on my blog)...it's for old stuff on a card. This is just wonderful and I'm so glad you had an enjoyable outing. It's always pleasant to get away for a bit. TFS & Hugs
