Meet Al and Samantha - they have been married a long, long time. I brought them with me to Mothermark's Tuesday Tea Party. She is hosting it in her backyard where she just had a new lily pad pond designed. I heard there were some teenage frogs on their first date at the party - they need to come over and get some pointers form Al and Sam.
Al and Sam live in my backyard pond which you can see in the background of my picture. There aren't any lily pads in our pond, so I not really sure they know much about how to behave or get around on them. Maybe we can borrow someone's lifeguard (Mothermark indicated that some of the party attendees may want to bring their own lifeguard).
This was a fun challenge and if you are interested in learning more about the Teapot Tuesday challenges, make sure and visit Mothermark at:

That's such a funny sentiment - looks as if Sam and Al will be able to give plenty of good advice to Froggy and Groggy. I love that mesh, and the way you wrapped it round, and also that big brad.

I love your layout on your card. That netting is awesome. That sentiment is adorable. I love getting to see your pond. What a neat yard you have!! I am glad that Al and Sam got to come to the party.

How adorable to have this sweet couple to help out Froggy and Groggy on their first date. This is what the teapot party is about too. Oh yeah, we are a nutty bunch, but the heart is always at the right place. Thank you for coming!
Those frogs are adorable, you gotta love thos thick lips, do frogs use botox or is collagen, anyway, you know what Meg and Cher are using! LOL Great party, cute card indeed! TFS

Al and Sam remind me of Ma and Pa Kettle! They are toadily cute, and I hope they don't croak at the party either cuz I jes couldn't handle that. I hope they share their wisdomly advice for successful relationships with Froggy and Groggy. It's all about sharing and love here.
This is outrageously cute! I love the cool netting and that comical sentiment, and ya really gotta love those big red lips. I agree with Peggy that they probably had collagen treatments; those are some fat lips....even for a frog.

Your fun frogs Al and Samantha gave me a smile today. I love the netting too. I sure hope they had some fun at the party; it looks like they could use a little spice in the water!
