It's a Giraffe for Paperartsy

Well I did get a tad excited when I saw this release from PaperArtsy contained a Giraffe. I love them, they seem such an impossible creature with the long legs and necks.

So of course  I had to  use the set of stamps as soon as I go them and this is the result a bag for my knitting with matching stitch markers.

Leave your past behind

I have done this page to enter into the PaperArtsy challenge of PaperDolls.

The background is an idea I had when trying out things for another page, and it has sat in my journal for a while waiting to be  finished. So here it is with a few bits of collage and a quote.

My dad died last year and I had all his poetry books, amongst them were a lot of Tyler Knott Gregson books this quote is one of his, he has some nice short punchy poems perfect for journal pages.

Details of the PaperArtsy challenge can be seen HERE.
