Elephantly Speaking

-
This week over at Bitten By The Bug 2 the challenge is to create a project using an elephant from any cartridge of our choosing. Fun!


This was an easy choice, I just loved the elephant on Nate's ABC's, so adorable! Using my gyspy I welded two of the elephant images together to create the card. I used some pattern paper from DCWV's The Green Stack (on of my favorites) to make my elephant.


Inside the card I used a stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps for my sentiment "Keep on trunkin". I, also, embossed it for a little added fun.

I hope you enjoyed my card, thanks for a great challenge this week!

    Aaawwww, so darn cute. Love the paper you used for the elephant. I thought I recognized it, then you said it was from the Green stack. One of the stacks I had to leave behind in storage when we started traveling in the RV last year after selling our house. Nice job making the cut into a shaped card. Thanks for playing at BBTB2.

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner.

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
