Unforgettable Elephants Layout

Four years ago, my neighbor moved and gave me a box of scrapbooking paper she didn't want to take with her. One of the designs had elephants on it, which isn't something I would ordinarily need, but I'm finally putting it to use! It was perfect for these elephant photos taken at the L.A. Zoo. The elephant accents were punched out of the portion of the paper that is covered by the other other papers. For the title, I tried a new technique with stamped outline letters that I partially filled in using an alcohol marker. I like the finished look, so hopefully you do, too.
Here's what it says on the hidden journaling on the tag: The elephant encounter at the zoo was really cool! The zoo keepers actually ask the elephants to touch their trunk to the top of their head or to lie down as ways of checking their health and getting safe access to parts of the animal they need to examine. It was an experience we will not forget soon.
