Lisa's RAK card ...

I am a great fan of Pollycraft images and follow both the challenge blog and Paula's blog so when I read her post yesterday about 'Lisa's RAK I just had to go and investigate.
This is what Lisa has to say...

'I am having a special event for my sister Jayme. She is in her early 50's and has terminal lung cancer. To make it worse, her sweet dachshund Molly passed away a couple weeks ago. Today we learned her cancer has spread to several other areas and her time is running out. I am asking for all my card making friends to send her a fun card...not really get well cards obviously, but something pretty or funny that will make her smile. She is a frog collector so frog cards would be awesome!'

How can anyone resist making and sending a card after reading that?  Another bonus is that there are prizes to be won, which is great I know, but the most important thing is the chance to do something for someone to bring a smile.
Please visit Lisa's blog to read more and hopefully join in.
Paula has provided a fabulous frog image (FREE) here, but I decided to use my Penny Black frog so that Jayne didn't get too many of the same image on her cards.

To create my card I used another of the great sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Just love their work.

My card is also for the challenges at Penny Black where the theme is 'Lots of Dots'.
Have a fabulous day everyone.

UPDATE...

Denise is also offering a great free frog digi HERE  so no excuses get those cards made!

I am so touched by the reason behind you making this card. My thought and prayers are with their family. I know personally what a difficult time they are going through. It isn't easy. Your card will bring alot of sunshine to her and her sister. It is super cute and the frog looks like it is going to jump right of the card. It made me smile when I opened up your blog! Have a wonderful day! And God bless.
