Your Admission To Animal Awesomeness: Two-Page Zoo Themed Scrapbook Spread

Posted on by Krislyn Mattei

Modern zoos strive to educate visitors of all ages about the wondrous wildlife from around the globe, as well as conservation needs and simply fostering an appreciation for wildlife and vegetation in general. And zoos house many thrilling experiences and family fun — up-close encounters with cold-weather and desert-dwelling creatures, feedings, funny water shows, taking a trip on a safari train, educational programs for the kiddos like story time and crafts, as well as for those a bit older like assisting zookeepers and gardeners… and more! Once you’re through the gate, enjoy the day and come back home, make this your ticket to remember the animal awesomeness! Just admit your creativity with this two-page zoo themed scrapbook spread!

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use two pieces of White Solid Cardstock (or two White Refill Pages) as the bases for this two-page layout. Cut 1-1/4″ off one side of a sheet of brown animal spots designer paper and adhere it on the left side of the layout. Cut the other sheet of brown animal spots designer paper to 7″ x 12″. Adhere it on the right side of the layout. Cut the remaining 5″ x 12″ piece of brown animal spots designer paper in half lengthwise. Flip to the back side (white animal tracks) and adhere across both sides of the layout as shown.

Step 2: Cut a 1″ x 12″ strip of Kelly green palm leaves designer paper and adhere it along the left edge of the layout. Cut a 4-3/4″ x 12″ strip of Kelly green palm leaves designer paper and adhere it along the right edge of the layout. Cut four 1/4″ x 12″ strips of zebra stripes designer paper and adhere as shown.

Step 3: Crop and adhere photos — one 4″ x 6″, four 5-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ and two 3″ x 3-1/2″.

Step 4: Create six “tickets.” Cut three 2-1/2″ x 12″ strips of White Solid Cardstock. Using the 12-inch Trimmer and the Stamping Blade, cut each into two 4″ pieces. Using the 2-Way Corner Rounder, notch the corners. Cut a 3/4″ x 12″ strip of light blue waves designer paper. Cut into 2-1/4″ sections. Notch two of the corners with the 2-Way Corner Rounder and adhere on the “tickets.” Cut a 2-1/4″ x 12″ strip of each mustard diamond grid and dark brown snakeskin designer papers. Cut each into 3″ sections. Notch two corners with the 2-Way Corner Rounder and adhere on the “tickets”. Adhere completed “tickets” on the layout as shown.

Step 5: Add stickers and embellishments, popping some up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 6: Journal as desired.
