Remember the days of hunting tadpoles with your kids or grandkids? I sure do and still have an abundance of tadpoles each year in our water garden. The process of evolution from tadpole to frog is just amazing and kids sure enjoy watching the process in an aquarium. I think Nana Vic has captured tadpole hunting in a really fun way and reminds me of when my grandsons were young. This is a new image from Vickie and I hope it reminds you of great times with the kids.
I'm entering this card in Delightful Sketches and hope you find time to play along. Here is the sketch for this week. Since I don't use sentiments on my cards until I'm ready to mail them I've added scrolls cut with a Paper Shapers punch using coordinating papers to match the card.
DP is Basic Grey Origins Paper Pad and for someone that doesn't chose yellow very often I've fallen in love with the colors in this paper, especially for this image which is natural and earthy.
Image was colored with Copics, flowers are from Prima and leaves from MS branch punch.
Yellow Stickles were added to the flowers for extra bling and I added polka dots to her apron.
Thank you so very much for stopping by and I hope you will leave me a comment so I can hop on over to see what's new on your blog. I try to keep up with everyone on my blog list but those that leave comments are always my first priority. I do value your comments and read each and every one of them.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've joined a new NING site where there are lots of FREE digi's, challenges, forums, and just a fun place to visit.

Wow Carol you did it again. I'm like a mother chook waiting to see what you come up with and you have not disappointed me. (Not that I ever think that you would). I like how you have added your personal touches to claim the digi as the dots on Nana Vic's apron are wonderful. I totally adore the cards overall appeal, the papers, your sparkle flowers and your curly embellishments have all coordinated perfectly. Thank you again, Your my very favourite DT.

Hi Carol, what a darling card. I have never gone tadpole hunting but we did raise a tadpole to a frog one year with school. I do remember how fun that was. I love the yellow and I'm glad you stepped out of your safety box! Do it again girl! I love your take on the sketch. Thanks for joining us over at Delightful Sketches. I hope you join us again I would love to see more creativity!!
Yes, I do remember those days -- especially having boys. Your card is just adorable. Love it.
