I made these cards as a gift for a friend who loves elephants. The lack of sentiment means she can use them for whatever reason she wants. And since I wanted to come up with some cute sort of way to give them to here I made a vellum envelope and put a fun colorful elephant on the front for Yvonne's Do More With Less gift giving challenge.
This card uses this week's CR84FN colors.
This card uses this week's Play Date Cafe colors.
This card uses this week's ColourQ colors.
Now let's get down to some birthday party business. Once again, many, many thanks to all of you who participated or commented in the birthday blog hop. It was such a treat to see such fabulous cards and to read the super sweet comments and well wishing. So without further adieu here are the winners.
The Hero Arts set from Lynn's blog goes to:
