Everything ABC's Blog Hop ~ Letter 'E'

Welcome to the everything ABC's Blog Hop!
For this hop we will be featuring the letter 'E'.
 This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has
chosen as their 'E' element will be featured in their post.

If you came from "Darlys Recker" then you're on the right track!

For the letter 'E' I have chosen to make a Super simple
Elephant Birthday card and...

 an Elegant Baby Album page


To make the card:

 Using a white card base & a 2" strip of lettered paper from the Whimsy fundamentals paper packet & Coral Shimmer Trim.
the Elephant is from the Operation Smile stamp set from Last year called Animal Greetings(retired) on a piece of white card stock matted on a piece of tangerine card stock.

For the Elegant page layout:
  [I cased this one from the seasonal Inspiration Page 46]

Using 2" pieces of Whimsy Paper mounted in a diamond pattern on a piece of white card stock mat on a 12 x 12 Crystal Blue card stock base.  
 No stamping on this one ~ Just Sugar Rush Complements.
I put a matt for a 4 X 4 photo with Crystal blue & white cardstock ~ this is to be a gift for a friend who is having her first grand-daughter in a couple of months!!!


Products Used:
Sugar Rush Complements X7215C

Whimsy Fundamental Paper  (24- 12x12 papers) Z3255
 
Stamp Set :
