Welcome to Scrapping with Lisa's Designs (http://scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/) Design Team blog hop project for July 8th!!! Our project is using Elephant Frame Hugger 2 (http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_71/Elephant-Frame-Hugger-2.htm). As with any project there are rules. The Design Team is to create using the file BUT not doing as a digital design. With the rules being said, I would love to introduce you to our line-up for today!

We're so happy you joined us at the jungle today to frame our special little ones and know you can think of people that would look adorable set in this frame or even for a baby shower gift!!! Lisa is again, offering two (2) lucky winners a free file from her store by remarking on each stop along the way of the elephant walk!


For my project, I decided to make a shaped card. In order to get the shape of the frame I used Inkscape to convert the png into an svg, imported it into SCAL, copied it, flipped it and welded it. When I imported the svg file I ovlapped it temporarily to make sure it was the same size (didn't work perfectly, but close enough).Then, I cut all my pieces. I wish that I had made sure I knew which ones to glue first, I ended up having to cut the edge of frame so it wouldn't cover the trunk of the elephant. I also reversed the color of his eye parts and had to "fix" him with ink. Then, I decided he was s cute that he needed a buddy. Please check out the pictures below, leave me a comment then head on over to Anita's blog to see another great project.

Feature Attractions: BFF is the next project that will be presented by Scrapping with Lisa's Design Team on July 23, 2012. See you there and don't forget to leave your comments!!!! Ya alll come back 'ya hear!
