KRAFT + February.. going postal...

Hello there on this Monday, the weather here is glorious, I hope it is great where ever you are too!

I am just putting up my take on the February challenge over at KRAFT + - GOING POSTAL which has been another interesting challenge to complete I must say..
To use kraft as the base and also use postal stamps..  Well I have a huge biscuit barrel full of stamps that I went through and found some stamps that have meaning for my layout. I have used a photo of my youngest daughter and I and I have gone with the theme of "special delivery" as she sure was a special delivery to our family! And the pun I can use is that she came via 'air mail' as we flew overseas to get her!!! so my 'postal' layout..

some closer views..
Of course I had to put on an aussie flag stamp because she came to Australia!
and that cute teddy stamp which symbolizes childhood.. and the air mail logo!

Special Delivery!
My goodness this photo of my DD is so cute.. taken 13 years ago!

So thank you for looking at my take on the challenge..  and thank you too for the lovely comments you leave me to read! I appreciate them!!
