NO computer was harmed in this process!!!!

Hi everyone, my DT post for today is for
We have Anything Goes or Origami. My first choice is origami, my Great Nephew loves it and has a piece of paper making animals and other things all the time, so if an 11 year old can do it, so can I right?

Well I did it - jumping frogs, but was I successful? I think not, I'm afraid I'm picky about the folds, even though it was copy paper, it was difficult to get them perfect. They do jump though, have a looky at the video down below. It made my men in the house laugh, as did I.




Here's the link on how to make them.

I then thought perhaps I should try a card. This is the result. With no computer used for any of these? Are you proud of me?
card - Dovecraft
stamps - magazine freebies
ink - Whispers (very old ink)
paper - Craft Sensations
Spectrum Noir markers.
Tonic & Sue Wilson pin dot dies

11 yrs old?! I've never tried & doubt I will, but sure love seeing your adorable frogs! The card is wonderfully designed--love it!
PS--I use a mouse with my laptop & it's so great to be able to have it at the angle & height I need--plus I can sit in the same room with hubby while I read blogs. So hoping I get it back next week or may go buy a new one!
