National Zoo lo






I am using this lo for 5 different challenges. I think that is a record for me. I am using it for 2 at SNC, the 52 week challenge and the February challenge of using 2 punches. I used two border punches and 2 Martha Stewart butterfly punches also. The pictures are from the spring we went out to Washington D.C. for a friend of Terry's wedding. We got a chance to go to the National Zoo one day and had a lot of fun. Will is about 1.5 years old in these pictures. I used Basic Grey's Orgins collections for all patterned papers and basic cardstock for the rest. All the papers except for the background piece were all scraps which is for challenge 3 which is at Lasting Memories the challenge is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The next challenge is a sketch challenge at Get Your Sketch On and the last one if for The Paper Variety and was a sewing challenge. I met that by using my Bazill stitching guide and sewing the wavy line down the side of the paper. This is my first time doing that and I have some more that are boy shapes that I want to try and use next. This is my first time submitting anything for The Paper Variety which is run by two of my friends from SNC. Thanks Abby & Suzanne for giving me a chance to enter.
