It's Teapot Tickle time and we're joining Susan for a beach vacation at the Sylvia Beach Hotel in Oregon. I'm staying in the Mark Twain room. Where's everybody else staying? I hope the recipient of my card appreciates my recycled cards. I happened upon this card while I was looking for my scratch cards for yesterday's TLC (still haven't found them). But I did find the Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County! So I cut the panel down and fit it to a slimline card base. Because I was using an old card as my main attraction, I decided I needed to jazz up the base. So I covered it with purple and teal glittery acrylic paint and then added some glimmer paste through a stencil. I went to Google looking for Mark Twain quotes to print out, but then I remembered I already had one as a stamp and it is a great one. A little whimsical doodled frame and my card is done. That was a fun challenge, Susan!

How fun is this. A few years ago, we visited the town where the competition is held. There are brass plaques on the sidewalk commemorating the winning frogs -- some of the distances the frog jumped are unbelievably long.
