This month’s Featured Kit is a revamp of another really old set that I originally created after a family trip to the zoo (and partly inspired by my own dreams of African safari adventures – something that is definitely high up on my bucket list!).

This month I have asked the team to share their favourite photo-less scrapbook pages with me!
