Did you know that today is National Elephant Appreciation Day! A whole day dedicated to appreciate this beautiful and enchanting beast. After working in Kindergarten for 6 years my ideas are just spilling over with "Elephant" related projects, from poems to songs to elephant cupcakes. Even a few famous elephants come to mind, the lovable Dumbo from Disney, and one of my favorite childhood books, Barbar the Elephant.
So in honor of one of my favorite animals, the pachyderm, I made this little card using a clear card supplied by this weeks sponsor, Short Cuts.
Short Cuts also supplied our Pachyderm Loving Design Team with their amazing clear and frosted cards to work with and the team created the most amazing projects this week! Thank you DT & Short Cuts!

Please Welcome
Hanneke
{A fun random fact about Hanneke}
We found out that Hanneke is a famous for her Monchou cakes in the Netherlands. She loves to combine baking and scrapping and often takes her goodies to share at crops. According to Hanneke: "All Shared things are the best things and that applies to scrapping and baking!" We could not agree more with you on that Hanneke because we love that you share your amazing talent with us every week!
You can see all of Hanneke's talent here at her blog: Scraps-N-Stuff
Hanneke's Card
The latest ShortCuts product, Clear & Frosted Card Blanks, are ready-to-assemble-and-decorate card blanks that will help you create fingerprint resistant cards. Each of the stocks is made of a thick vinyl material (think clear/frosted cardstock). Unlike other flimsy products out there these cards can hold your embellishments without collapsing, as seen in these gorgeous artists samples created by one of our very own DT members: Carla Peicheff .

I loved the DT cards... Personally, I found the sketch to be quite tough... I thought for 2 days, and finally came up with a card today. Nothing different. Hope you like it though.
