Well we are home after having spent a lovely week in Devon with our grandson....weather was brilliant.....

I was lucky enough to win the PB Challenge a few weeks ago and my prize was a $15 voucher to spend with PB Stamps so one of the stamps I selected was this one ' A Smile for You' by Penny Black, it is quite a large stamp but so cute don't you think? Reminds me of a little girl starting school for the first time...aahh.

Stately Giraffe..

Isn't he regal? Just love this giraffe stamp its by Embossing Arts Co. and he is acutally called 'Stately Giraffe'.
Have stamped and embossed him in black, and layered him up in browns and gold but the gold doesn't show up well in the photograph. Had some Paper Pizazz Wild Thing Giraffe paper in my box, cuttlebug strip across the middle and of course a flower.....must stop using flowers on all my cards!!!! L-Em leaf punch, paper flower & brad. SU scallop punch. Right off to make a similar card but one without flowers.....
