Roxie Zoo Pages

We love the zoo around here. We have a membership, and when the weather is nice it's not uncommon for us to hit the zoo more than once a week. Even when it's rainy we often go every week or every other week. The boys love the animals. They love being allowed to walk freely (so long as they stay reasonably close). I love that they know the paths at the zoo almost better than I do, so on the predestined day when Ben finally actually wanders off from me, I'll know where to look for him.

And we LOVE a good zoo event! The zoo here has lots of fun special events throughout the year. We have elephant ear headbands from Elephantastic. We trick or treat at the Zoo Boo! We stood in line for what-seemed-like-forever to meet Baby Sam the new elephant. And here, in this layout you see us decked out in all out rain gear to attend the Frogs and Princesses Party at the zoo. Nothing better than the zoo in the rain...unless it's the zoo in the rain with Buzz Lightyear and Lightning McQueen boots!

We're doing these two pages as part of our six pages for my Monthly Memories Club on Friday. I used the Roxie papers and my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to create our adorable little animal buddies. It always amazes me how a pile of simple circles and shapes can become adorable punch art! Can't wait for club!

I'm linking this post to the Heart 2 Heart Photo Inspired Challenge. Roxie is a pretty pink paper packet (as evidences in the other 4 pages we're doing), but the photo pushed me to work with the browns and blacks in the kit...plus I popped little Bitty Sparkles into each little animal's eyes!
