I need a card for my nephew's 8th birthday and I was having a pretty tough time thinking of something. Then I came across Bitten By the Bug 2's Frog Challenge. And a star was born! =P
This is my first shaped card. It was a bit tough. I know I'm doing something wrong because the sides didn't quite line up. But I guess practice makes perfect and they'll start lining up after I shoot out a couple more of these bad boys. But they are a lot of work (at least for me), so I might stay away from shaped cards for a bit.
By the way, I may not use this for my nephew after all. I'm cooking up something in my head and if it works out, then I'll use that. =) But who knows...for me, things ALWAYS look better in my mind. I hate when that happens!
