Head in the trees!

Good Morning,

Whoo Hoo....today is my first Design Team spot over at the 'Make the Day Special' Blog :0)

I'm absolutely over the moon to join the team and have free rein to play with and showcase the yummy stamps that Emily sells in her store....okay so in my case it'll be mostly Paper Smooches and Lawn Fawn, but my collection is always growing *wink*
If you haven't visited the store then you really must, if you are a UK stamper that wishes they could buy American brand stamps like Unity, Flourishes, My Cute Stamp and of course Lawn Fawn and Paper Smooches to name but a few, you best take a look now when you've finished reading :0)
So onto today's card and I just had to make my first with Paper Smooches stamps....


I've used the new 'Zoo Crew' and 'Whimsical' sets to make this little scene and the sentiment is from 'Sentiment Sampler'
The sentiment inside reads "...... you can't hide, it's your Birthday!!" and if you lift the leaves up, as demonstrated by my able assistant Hannah (you didn't want to see my nail chewed finger!) you can see Mr Giraffe hiding in the tree.....


Love Paper Smooches Stamps they are so easy to colour or paper piece and make such fun cards too :0)
If you want to check them out in store click here



On a completely different note and whilst you are here I wanted to share a photo with you of my brothers little dog, who we have staying with us over the Easter weekend. She's a Jack Russell/Chihuahua X and as you can see has lovely black and white markings...one of which is almost heart shaped, especially when she's curled up in her bed :0)


Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your enjoying your Easter weekend too.... may the Easter Bunny deliver you lots of calories then I wont feel so guilty *wink*

  24. Cute card Jenny and super sentiment. I know I'd rather hide when my birthdays come round!

    I only have two little mounds of snow left which were once snowmen. The kids thought it would be funny to still have the carrots sticking straight up in them! x

  30. Great card to kick off your DT gig! I adore your bashful giraffe:) Your coloring is super and the hand drawn frame is a great detail! Did you use a die for the tab? Love how you used the tab for your sentiment (need to add that idea to my bag of tricks).

    Happy Easter Jenny!
