HEL-LO! Is this thing ON??????!!!!!

Where IS everyone???? Anyone else notice that the blogs, message boards, yahoo groups are getting quieter? Everyone must be enjoying the spring, digging around their gardens, going outside more, the sun is staying out later and then "oh heavens, IT's X o'clock already!"...I know that's what's going on in my neck of the woods...LOL...

Well, for the few of you that do manage to make the rounds, I've got another Dustin Pike image that will be released TO-DAY...this is the Party Elephant...and he's got PLEN-TY of friends that like to PAR-TY too! You should see the whole zoo of them...they are all this cute!

I decided since I was releasing a new image, I was also going to join in a few challenges, so I decided that my Creatively Cute Blogging Group challenge was good (something old, something new...use something you've had a long time, the birthday paper and the ribbon, and something new...the image!) AND I used Amy Rysavy's sketch this week...

I colored with Copics and cut out my Party Elephant and stickled his cupcake and hat, did my layering and then added my sentiment:

Outside: An elephant never forgets...
Inside: ...but, I occassionally do, Happy Belated Birthday!

Well, thanks for looking, recipe and photos below!



Recipe:
  • Stamp: Party Elephant by Dustin Pike
  • Paper: Reminisce Happy Birthday to You
  • Other: Nestabilities, Stickles, Ribbon, Corner Rounder

I totally get what you are saying about it being quiet out there. I know OUR house is slammed with end of the year school projects, kids with massive spring fever trying to get thru the last few days of school, yards that need tending and just overall busy work. Hard to stay inside on the puter when summer awaits us on the outside.

Your elephant is of course perfect and I LOVE the sentiment you used!

Paula - this is adorable! And yes, it is quiet -- I know myself, we've had a TON of stuff going on, I haven't been able to check in as frequently as I'd like...maybe I should get that iPhone afterall ;) Have a super day!

Yes, I've definitely noticed the slow down and I'm one of the people not posting as much (on the board). It's a busy time of year for me at work and personally.

Your elephant is adorable! Ok, Dustin's elephant is adorable. Your coloring is amazing! Cute card.

And yes, I've noticed it's quiet out there... sad, kinda that we notice.. does that mean we need to get off the computer and go outside?? hehe! Have fun, whatever you're doing!
