Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Hello crafting friends Welcome back to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. It is still snowing here in NY, actually it is a mixture of snow, sleet, and rain. Of course we have had a share of electricity problems. We are suppose to get another huge storm on Friday. I guess they were right when they said we were going to have a bad winter. So for this week's challenge we chose elephants! Here is what I came up with

My inspiration for this card was a pair a PJs that my daughter owns. She has about six other pair but refuses to wear them and I gave up trying. I have learned to pick my battles. They have two elephants on them and they say Mommy's lil Princess. Since I do not own a sentiment with that on it, I hand wrote it on the little heart. Lot's of inking and chalking on the elephants. I plan on giving her this card for Valentines Day and writing in it about her obsession with her Elephant PJ's during the winter of 2011. I already have a picture of her in them, so the picture and the card will go in a scrapbook:) I figured it would be something she would love to look back on when she gets older.
