I wanted to create a layout with this new collection so I combined it with this sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
This is my Zoo layout:
I used some photos from a trip we took to the Detroit Zoo in 2008. I have so many pictures from that day, so this will help me to be one page closer to scrapbooking them all!
I started with a background of Kraft cardstock that I sprayed with Black Chalkboard Mist from Tattered Angels. Then I took a 'bite' out of a couple edges with a border punch! This was a really neat idea that came to me when I woke up yesterday and I couldn't wait to give it a try. (I must have been dreaming about scrapbooking!) I think it turned out really cool!
Then I broke into my stash of buttons and created a fun border that matched the papers really well.
I used the BoBunny alpha stickers that came with the Zoology collection for the journaling and I distressed the edges of my photos with a sanding tool.
I can't wait to do more pages with this collection! Thanks for looking :)

Wow, just love it Joanne! Great inspiration to take a chomp out of your edge like that! I think I dream about scrapbooking too, but too often by the time I full wake up, I think I have forgotten those great ideas!
