The Evolution of a Zoo Goer

Hi all! I'm back again with a new layout! This one started as an inspiration challenge from Paper Issues:


This album cover was so fun, I just had to do something with it! I started by finding four photos that I could run across the bottom of my layout. I then picked four colors of patterned paper for my strips, inspired by the colors in my photos. I then went to work with my Cricut and Design Space to make my title. I loved the block letters on the album cover, so I used that and then found a basic sans serif font for my connecting words and a written style font for the rest of my title. I got a tab punch recently and used that for my journaling spots on the layout. Then I went to work embellishing. I didn't find a ton of animal embellishments in my stash, so I turned to my Cricut again. I picked some animals to match my colors and cut them from coordinating cardstock. Some of the animals I attached with foam tape for dimension. I finished things off with a sprinkling of buttons, enamel dots and dots of black 3D paint. My Cricut definitely got a workout on this layout, so I am entering it in the "Anything Goes" challenge going on now at Bitten By the Bug 2.



 Thanks for stopping by!
