CR84FN Color Challenge

100% Inspired today by my fellow DeNami Design Team girls!  They had some fabulous cards using the cute elephant.  I love how Andrea made an elephant train and her polka dot elephant was SO cute.  So, the card I made for the CR84FN Color Challenge is thanks to Andrea! The colors just spoke "baby" to me, so I added the Congratulations Sentiment.  Trying to be more productive in my crafting and scrapbooking this year.  I'm off to an okay start with cards. Zero scrapbooking.  I purchased the new Becky Higgins Project Life Kit for 2011, even though I only got through February last year.  I have some catching up to do.  1st step is to print out some pictures, they are ALL on my computer. 
DeNami Stamps: Elephant and Congratulations

DeNami Elephant

The DeNami Design Team is Spotlighting this Cute Elephant on the DeNami Blog Today.  Head over and check out my fellow DT girls creations... such a fun variety!

I love how easy it is to stamp and cut out the elephant. NO coloring needed. I used the Mesh Cuttlebug Embossing Folder to give her some extra texture.  She is so in love she is tooting out hearts from her trunk.  How amazing is the new teeny heart background?  Turns ordinary white cardstock into pretty patterned paper.  I snuck a sweet little sentiment on the front and accented it with a little tiny red rhinestone.
This card could easily be changed into a birthday card, or even a baby shower card.... just change up the color.
Valentines Day is less than a month away!  Do you make Valentines Cards?  I try to send cards to my immediate family, but my goal is to send out more this year.   It's amazing how good it feel's to get a hand made card in the mail.  I was so happy to find a Thank-You card from Paulina in my mail yesterday.  It is sitting on my window sill in my kitchen... so I smile often.   I think sometimes I get so caught up in the making of cards, I slack on actually sending them out.
