Happy Leap Day... I'm JUMPING FOR JOY!!!

Happy Leap Day 2012!!!! This is my first time blogging during a leap year, so I had to have a post go up today. I also have some fun PERSONAL news to share at the end of this post if you are interested. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do a cute little frog card to represent LEAP DAY and my happy news too.


This is a shape card that I made using my Gypsy. I used the frog from the Paisley cartridge because it looks like he is ready to jump or leap. The lilly pad is from the Create-a-Critter cartridge. That super cute frog face is from a Peachy Keen Stamps set called Baby Animal Faces 3". And the awesome sentiment is from My Creative Time's Just a Little Note to Say. I think it is perfect for this card!

As for the PERSONAL news I wanted to share the reason why I'm 'jumping for joy'. I'm happy to finally share with all of you that my husband and I are going to be having a baby BOY! We have two very sweet girls and are very happy to be adding a little boy to our family at the beginning of the summer. YAY! We are SO super EXCITED (JUMPING FOR JOY)! I also want to share a link to the sweet card that my Crafting Bestie Pam sent to me when she learned of the happy news. Click HERE to see her card. She is quite the enabler because now I think that I NEED the cartridge she used for this card. If any of you know where I can find the 9 Months Cricut Lite cartridge for LESS than $40, will you PLEASE let me know. Have a terrific LEAP day and I hope you find something to JUMP for JOY about today! Huge Hugs- Glora
