Whimsy ATCs

This month's ATC trade theme was "whimsy". I decided that that was very broad once I started looking into it. I decided to base my cards on the idea of flying frogs. That is just what popped into my head first. How many ways could I come up with to make a frog fly? The hot air balloon was the first that I did.

This is how the frog would fly if he fell out of the balloon.


A frog flying with a hang glider could reach those tasty butterflies more easily.

However, here is a frog that bit off more than he could chew and is flying in a way that wouldn't be so much fun.

Oh, How great are they!!! So! Such a fantastic idea, and so fun!! Are they all traded off?

Most of the time they are all traded off. Occasionally, I receive one of mine back. It usually depends on how many are participating in the trade.

I traded all of the flying frogs. I didn't get any of these back. That is why I scan all the cards. I like to have some kind of record of what I make so that I can make more if I want.
