The challenge was to scrap our favorite person or animal, at least half had to be done in our favorite color, and we had to use a favored element at least 3 times. My favorite color should be obvious! I cllect elephants, so the favorite animal part was easy. It was the favorite element tta I had trouble with. I finally settled on a peice of tape by Lara Payton because I find myself coming back to it repeatedly for lotsof different kinds of layouts.My journaling reads: I started collecting elephants when I was in high school. There was something I just loved about the animal...its strength tempered with great gentleness, its massive bulk matched by the graceful movements of its trunk, its loyalty to family, its ability to remember and pass down those memories to new generations. Shortly after I began collecting, I found out that my great-grandmother also loved elephants. Once people found out abou my collection, Istarted receiving various pieces that my great-grandmother had given as gifts from her own collection. I hope to someday inherit all of them from theaunt who inherited them from my great-grandmother. Until then, I’ll continue to add to my stash, so I have even more to pass along to my grandchildren!
Bring on Challenge #2!!
