I’ve been putting this layout off for awhile now. I didn’t want to overdo it but I didn’t want to underdo it either. I hope it turned out alright. It’s for some dear friends of mine. You can find the paper piecing zoo animal patterns here. I am getting rusty on scrapbook layouts. I need to start doing them more often. I’m getting burnt out of the paper piecing. I need to take a break for a while. I always go through stages so I’ll come back around soon I’m sure.

The patterned cardstock is from Imaginisce and the patterned paper is a Karen Foster Design. The orange striped photo-mat is from the fabulous DCWV Animal Crackers Matstack. My SIL was just showing me her All About Boys stack. I must have it! Cute boy paper is not easy to find! The matstacks are a great stocking stuffer (hint, hint to my husband).

I know you have seen some of these animals before. I love the gator (I’ve started four more) and the zebra is fun but takes way too much time (I have almost finished two more). I won’t be making him again any time soon. All those stripes… I am mailing a few of them to my super cool cousin who loves to scrapbook. I can’t wait to see what she makes with them.
