Flags, banners & pennants….

This week at PaperPlay Challenges we are looking for projects with flags, banners or pennants  on them! We are kindly sponsored by Digi Darla Designs. I used the adorable Circus Elephant image on my card.

I made the mistake of colouring my image first and then struggled to find papers that matched. It turned out very bright and vibrant but I think I like it! I made banners for my sentiment and the backing of it, and then used toothpicks to make the little flags. My sentiment and the pattern on the flags is from Waltzing Mouse Stamps….

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check out the rest of the design teams gorgeous projects!

Rhino

This male rhino had his horn cut off because he killed the female elephant in the safari park. The male elephant was angry at this and killed the female rhino as retaliation. Who says humans are bad? The safari park got the rhino another female. The elephant has not got a new female yet because he is gone really bad tempered. His favorite past time now is shredding tractor tires. Those are some seriously big tires to shred. You don’t want to get on his bad side!!

I didnt know elephants can swim..

I didnt know elephants can swim….this is what I said as we watched these two baby elephants playing around in the water. My husband just gave me a look, duh of course they can, they cross rivers and even lakes all the time in the wild. Well what I meant was, yeah I know they can doggy paddle, but these two were dunking each other under the water and diving under for minutes at a time. I just didnt realise they liked water that much.

They just dont come to mind as creatures that look like they were built for swimming. But I guess they do have a built in snorkel!!
