Zoo Review

Today is my day to share at the Pink Paper Bakery. Well, eight years ago my husband and I took a trip to visit my mother in law in Kenya. We went on several safari's. So when this set came out I had to have it! It brings me back a little bit. I was inspired by a similar style card I saw on Pinterest.

This card is currently on it's way to my MIL, for her birthday. I know she will love it!
