Here's one I made just before coming back to the UK, I was packing my stuff, and found the Sparkle 'n Sprinkle frog which I haven't used for ages, so just had to make a quick card with him, the martini paper was given to me by a friend, thanks Debbie, although you can't see a lot of it. I went a bit mad with the stitching, I know I am going to miss my big sewing machine.......................
He was coloured with copic markers, I added a red gem to his olive. The white dots were made with a signo white gel pen. He really does look sozzled doesn't he?
Talking of sozzled..........when my son was at university, a crowd of them went to the pub before going on to a club. One of the lads fell off a wall (don't ask, I don't know) and hurt his leg. Edward and another friend gave him a firemans lift back to the university halls of residence, running like crazy because they only had 10 minutes to get into the club at student rates. So they crashed through doors, using this poor lad as a sort of battering ram, and dumped him on the bed, then ran like olympic sprinters to get into the club. It wasn't until the next day that they discovered that the hurt leg was in fact a bad fracture. The lad hadn't even yelped as they crashed him through the doors. Now this demonstrates two things, one, alcohol is a powerful anaesthetic, and two, it's best not to know what your kids are up to when they go to university
See you tomorrow

Awesome card! Love that sotted frog!! What a story. Poor guy. I agree, better to not know what the kido's are up to!! :)
ReplyDeleteyour card is cute. Your story is funny. I'm sure we all have stories from college we'd like to forget.
ReplyDeleteThat is one anesthetized looking frog! I like it! No, it's def. best if you don't learn to many stories of your kids university years, till many years later!

What a adorable card Enfys! He does look snockered. Love the story about your son. Shari (cricutrookie)
ReplyDeleteCute card Enfys...even funnier story!
ReplyDeleteLove the little guy in the martini glass! I'm not a drinker, but I can appreciate him none the less.
ReplyDeleteWhat a story! I'm guessing the poor guys leg healed well. I can't imagine what that poor guy felt like the next day! WOW, I bet he wasn't feeling too hot, must have had quite the hangover on top of the pain in the leg.
So true about our kids. lol.. and I love this card.

Hi, I just love frogs, even sozzled frogs, this one is charming. A great card.
ReplyDeleteOuch! with the leg, my son broke his toe last week and was in agony, it's hard to imagine the pain that young man was in! Hope you're right about him being so inebriated he didn't feel it so much:{
Hi En
ReplyDeleteHope you are now settled nicely back in England.
Loving your card and that "tipsy" frog.
I agree .. .. best not to know what your kids are up to whilst away .. .. and not just at Uni.
Take care.
Love Jules xx
Hi Enfys yes your frog is certainly sozzled but hes so cute so you can forgive him. Fabulous card and beautiful papers. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteThat little froggy is just the cutest. I love how you added a gem for the olive, great idea!

I've GOT TO FIND THAT STAMP!! My sister and brother-in-law have a martinit every Wed. and Friday afternoon at 5:00 (even when they travel up here) - this would make them an ideal card!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Amen to not knowing what happens.
ReplyDeleteLove the card my favorite is Chocolate Martinis.
You make the best Cheers cards. I think any gender or age would get a kick out of getting one. Everyone needs a sense of humor in this economy.

lololololol!!! You always give me a chuckle! I love frogs, I used to 'collect' little knick-knacks of them. Until others found out and all I got as guifts for several years was... frogs... on bycycles, juggling, on a surfboard, hitch-hiking, on lily pads etc.. etc.. etc! So I had to tell every one no more, please! Since then I have collected tiny houses, and lighthouses. And it's happened again! I have them coming out my ears! While I loved getting them, well it's only so long before you're over run by what ever you 'collect'! But he sure is a culte little soused frog! TFS
ReplyDeleteI --LOVE-- him!!!
ReplyDeleteThat frog looks pickled for sure! My mom still doesn't want to hear stories about what me and my siblings did whenever the parents were out of the house! Better just to not know.
ReplyDeleteI just love the sozzled frog he's brilliant... good job the alcohol had kicked in too for the poor kid with the broken leg... OUCH!
ReplyDeleteLove Lynda xxx

ReplyDeletefabulous card Enfys, so love that image, feels very real as I sit here sipping on my 2nd Margarita! hugs Debx
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card! I haven't been here in a couple of days & I feel like I missed some good projects! I guess I don't have to wait until my 8yr old goes to college to break his bones! He's already had a broke femur, pinky finger & now his mosy recent one, a hairline fracture on the back of his ankle:(
ReplyDeleteHope your son gets better!
Big hugs,
Emma;)
