A Day at the El Paso Zoo

Time is flying by as it's almost the end of June...summer's flying!  A year ago, while on vacation in El Paso, Texas visiting my son and family (he's stationed there at Ft. Bliss) we took a hot summer day and went to the El Paso Zoo and walked some of the zoo.  As it was hot, we didn't get the whole zoo visited; and hopefully we can go back again so I can get the elephants and other animals we missed....

Here is a 2-page layout I created using the Zoo kit from/by Creative Kuts

 
Page 1

 


On page 1 I print and cut the Zoo animals using my Silhouette Studio DE (Cricut Design Space claimed the elephant was too 'big' to print and I didn't want to print smaller!).  The rest was cut out using my SCAL 3 program; and pieced together as best as I could, especially the palm tree and bushes.  (puzzles and me don't get along!)

On page 2 of the layout the rock wall and zoo border I purchased from SilhouetteAmerica Design Store and placed there instead of individual photo mats.  The monkey was print than cut with my Explore along with the small lion in the corner.
 
I hope your enjoyed today's project too. If you have a questions or suggestions, please leave it in the comments. Also, you can join up to our Facebook group: Scrapbook Blessings Club for more fun, games, inspiration, tips and techniques. Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
