Balancing Act

I have several cards that I've been wanting to post, but have yet to get around to.  I am perpetually playing catch-up in my life.  What can I say, that is just the way it goes.  I guess that is just the result of being a full-time working mother with MS.  I have to learn to stop and slow down and say no on occassion.  I am not super good at this, but working on it.  I am always on my mission to strike the perfect balance with everything in my life.

So...speaking of balancing acts, what do you think of my little froggy trying to balance on the "O" in Hoppy Birthday?  I had a pretty fun time making this card, although I will admit all the cutting was tedious.  Well worth it though in my opinion.  This guy (I guess this card could be a gal, couldn't it) is for the most current Lawnscaping Challenge #42, getting texty!  I used lots of different LF sets to make this, Critters Ever After, Gnome Sweet Gnome, Quinns ABC's and Critters in the Burbs.  I have to say, that Quinn's ABC is my newest and most favorite set, but that will probably change as soon as I get another new set! :)  Yes, I do plan on doing that soon! HA!

Oh, oh, I almost forgot, while I have you here, I was nominated for the Liebster award by the lovely Erica over at Papertrails.  Thanks Erica!  I am pretty darn stoked that she picked me because she is brilliant and she picked some other brilliant folks too.  Just being on the same blog post as all of them tickles my fancy! :) Here is some info about the award and you can see whom I nominated at the bottom! YAY!
