Momma Giraffe and Her Baby

I found this sweet giraffe pattern on my Cricut Design Space. I made one giraffe smaller so that I could have a mom and baby giraffe on the card. I think it's great for Mother's Day!!

Happy Giraffe With a Balloon!

I LOVE SAMI STAMPS giraffe digis! Yes, I'm still posting giraffe cards :)

And still watching April Giraffe Cam! Animal Adventure Park has put up the cam again for everyone to watch! Everyday for a few hours from Sunday to Friday! I love it!!! "Little" Taj is now 7' 4" and 250 lbs! But still so small and adorable next to Mom April!

Here's a card using Giraffe Birthday Balloon.

Where's the Baby Giraffe?????

Here's the baby giraffe!!!! 

April the Giraffe had her baby this morning!!!

I watched every second of it and am so excited to be seeing the sweet one with mommy, and being very interested in daddy too! Jumping and romping around! It's hard to believe the baby is finally here! I smile every time I check out the cam and see the "little one" in the pen with mommy!

Congrats to April, Daddy Oliver and staff at Animal Adventure Park!
