Do any of you remember the Little Golden Book about The Saggy Baggy Elephant? I had a 45 record of the book, loved the story. My elephant isn't saggy or baggy but he is a little guy too!
This is for this week's sketch, today's MIX (use new supplies, the stamp set for the top and bottom is new as are the TH embossing glazes), and for today's F4A-zoo animals.
I just can't get into digital stamps, mostly because I don't love to color. But what I do like to do is buy books at thrift stores that might have cool images and use them for a focal point. The book that this came from is a soft cover children's book by Peter Spier about many animals and all the sounds they can make...and the book was a freebie! I really enjoy working with different ephemera like book pages. Thanks for the challenges.

Great job including this is 3 challenges this week! I love that elephant and I do remember that book. I might actually own it as my sister dropped off all our golden books 2 weeks ago and I need to go through them to see what I do have as that was one we use to own.

I remember the Golden Books thought perhaps not this exact one. Love your friendly looking elephant. Your background support for him is fascinating. Love the swirls!
