Here is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge: Home Inspired.
I chose this giraffe music box for my inspiration piece. I collect giraffes and it is one of the first things I bought for my collection after I was married. I remember thinking at the time that is was sooo expensive and frivolous. It has survived many moves and a lot of years! It plays "Born Free" (which makes me think of lions, rather than giraffes.....not a good thing for a giraffe collector lol!).
My giraffe stamp is one of my favorites. My sister gave it to me. I love the design. The giraffe DP is some I have had for awhile and never found the right time to use it. I love the border along the bottom. It is by Hot Off the Press.
Thanks for a great challenge! I have two or three other things I may have to use today as well! And thanks for coming to take a look~

Judy, first, I must say, what a lovely music box! I've never seen one like it! And secondly, your card is just lovely! Love the giraffe stamp, the bg paper, the giraffe silhouettes and the photo punch corners. Just perfect!

One of my good friends also collects giraffes, and it's an amazing collection! It's almost taken over her entire house! LOL!
But I digress. I totally love your beautiful interpretation of your IC piece, Judy! What fabulous dp, and I like the silhouetted giraffes on the bottom! Awesome card!
