I Brake for April's new baby boy!

Hello and happy Monday!!

It's a time for celebration in my home town!  

That's right...that world famous giraffe APRIL is from my hometown. (well, close enough)

Her owner Jordan is.  She's about 30 min. away from my house.  We first met him about 13 yrs. ago when my kids used to go to birthday parties that he was at.  He used to bring all his little critters like snakes, centipedes, tortoises and bearded dragons.  It was fun for the kids and adults alike!

For those of you who don't know the story, there's a small zoo called Animal Adventure in Harpursville, N.Y.  They have a giraffe couple April (15) and Oliver (5).  They recently bred for the first time.  The zoo set up a live webcam and almost the entire world watched and waited for April to give birth.  This past Saturday (2 days ago) she finally did!

It's a boy!!

I used three stamps from I Brake for Stamps on April's card.

CONGRATULATIONS SON

SPECIAL, BUNDLE, BABY BOY, BABY GIRL

GIRAFFE IN EGGSHELL

April and her soon to be named calf  are both doing well!

I'll be mailing my card to them today and can't wait to visit them this summer!

Congratulations April and Oliver and of course Jordan and everyone at Animal Adventure!

I Brake For Baby Giraffes!

I just love giraffes and I love that I was able to combine some that I created myself with an adorable giraffe from I Brake For Stamps! 

On the front of my card I used an IBFS verse called  CONGRATULATIONS SON.

On the inside I used Special, Bundle, Baby Boy, Baby Girl

and Giraffe in Eggshell.

I made the giraffes by cutting various sized ovals and circles from punches and paper piecing them together.

I brake for baby giraffes!

I didn't need a baby card at the moment but this image is too cute to resist. It's called Giraffe in Egg Shell and is from I Brake For Stamps. 

Look at how sweet this little guy is.

Inside I used the verse Congratulations Daughter.
