BUT don't forget that your get more chances in our monthly candy if you enter the challenge as well.

Now without further ado!! our challenge this time is "Any sentiment you want" but you must use a sentiment please.

Our sponsors for this fortnights challenge are 2 Cute Rubber Stamps (their digi shop is here) and they also have a blog here for inspiration. Such a brilliant name for these stamps because they are!!!

My beautiful Tiger photos.

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY DT POST FOR AUD SENTIMENTS 

I have made this layout using a kit from Just So Scrappy called Who's At The Zoo which I used in my Digital Scrapbook Artist. The photos were taken over a year ago when the family took a trip to Dartmoor Zoological Park - it was fantastic and I got some amazing photographs. These are the ones I was soooooo pleased with, it was as if the Tiger was posing for them. I will hopefully do some more layouts with some more pictures from this day and we will be going again sometime over the summer holidays. If you are down in Devon check the Park out - I am sure you will have a great day.

I am entering this layout in the following challenges......
