It's been a busy week....with Convention only a few short weeks away, like many, I'm in a stamping frenzy trying to prepare. (Translation: stamping swaps!) Added to that, I've been making my son's engagement party invites and we had house guests this weekend. Whew! Wasn't so sure I'd be able to participate, but here I am.Now, mind you, this week's edition is so very simple! Going buggy was the theme....but, I don't really have any sets with bugs. So, last night, when everyone had gone to bed, I whipped this card up....but, does a frog really qualify as a "bug?" Probably not, but this guy was always so cute AND it fit into my Good-Bye Series since Unfrogettable will retire shortly. This is actually an engagement card...and although the images are from SU, the embellishments are not....check out the googly eyes and the "jewels" in the crown!
Stamps: Unfrogettable, Weathered, Fundamental PhrasesInks: Green Galore and Pitch Black/Adirondack by Ranger

Well, since a frog do
esn't r-e-a-l-l-y qualify as a bug, I quickly came up with another card just a short while ago....right after everyone left; but, I really need to apologize for the simplicity of this card! Guess I'm tired out and kind of brain dead....meaning, I couldn't come up with anything really creative....however, almost everything on this card is soon to be retired. AND a butterfly IS a bug, right?!!

Barb, Barb, Barb!! Not just one card, but two and with that your swamped with so much other stuff. I think your cards are super, and you know, I used Froggy also....
Hey Barb! Nice cards-I love the simplicity, yet they are put together so well! Especially love the butterfly card! This was the very first stamp set I used when I joined SU! two years ago-used it for my convention swaps-300...and I had never stamped before! Thanks for sharing!
Love your froggy card even if he isn't a (bug). I'm sad to see that set go.
Your butterfly card is pretty. I like the layout and colors.
Great cards Barb! I'm sad to see that frog go - and the Weathered BG too!
Well, since Frogs creep me out just as much as bugs, I think your frog card is perfect...lol
I also love your butterfly card...much more appealing to my taste! Great job on both accounts.
Wow, great cards. The frog is darling and the butterfly is so pretty. Great job.
The simplicity makes it beautiful! Love your color choices! Have fun at convention! {SMILES}
Cute cards, Barb! Good luck on getting those swaps done..I'm feverishly working on mine, too!
both cards are very cute, but my favorite would be the butterfly one. Love the colors and layout...
Love the crackled background with the frog, how perfect!
Great job on these. Love the colors on the butterfly one.
These are just darling Barbara! I was just going through my emails and realized that I didn't get the chance to comment on your Blogger's Challenge cards for the buggy challenge. Sorry about that! I really love the colors in the butterfly card! :D
