Ellie Elephant
Sweet Sketch 91



This sweet image, "Ellie Elephant" at Di's Digi Downloads just tugged at my heart strings this week.  It reminded me of the stuffed elephant my daughter recieved as a gift from her grandma when she about 6 years old.  It was handmade by a special friend.  Now my daughter is married and has her own little girl and has made it very clear to me that she wants her "Ele" for her little girl. 
 So I made this little card to go along with the transfer!!! 
 Now I just have to locate Elle in the attic!
Wish me luck!

For days I have been looking for "Ele" in the attic and just found her at 10:15 p.m. Tuesday evening
 (1 3/4 hours before posting...what luck!) 
I will need to spend some time this week cleaning and sprucing her up along with the turquoise ribbon!
 But she doesn't look too bad for being 25 years old! 
She is 20 inches tall! (same as when I last saw her)
Now can you tell why I chose these colors for my card!

Thank you, Diane, for your sweet digi "Ellie Elephant" image! Please feel free to post my card on your blog!

  3. Oh Judi, so glad that you found Ele, she didn't look too bad after being in the attic for so long.........oh but she looks so pretty now with a little TLC and heaps of love. Your daughter and grand daughter are just going to love having her back. I can see your grand daughter having a good suck on that lovely aqua ribbon.
    Your card is so so pretty, I do love those colours together it's awesome. I'm very partial to Elephants, Frogs and Hippo's on cards. I just love your card.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  5. Oh Judi, your post has just made my day. I have one big smile on my face. The stuffed elephant looks great for being 25 years old. What a fun treasure for your grand-daughter. Maybe it will be around for another 25 years. Your card couldn't be any more perfect than it is. I am so glad you found Ellie. I love your image and especially the colors. Thanks for sharing your sweet memories with us.
