Christmas Eve at the Zoo

Yesterday I shared our Christmas Eve-Eve layouts HERE.

We spent Christmas Eve at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo.  My sister-in-law and niece met us there.  The animals were very active and even though it was cold outside, it was so much fun! 

I used some page layout designs from the Silhouette online store that had cut outs for the photos.  I thought the photos looked lost, so I created a frame by cuting out a rectangle around the cut out windows in black cardstock.  I adhered the pieces on top - I think the photos look better with the black background!

Here is a re-creation of my frame.

I purchased this title from the Silhouette online store and added the Santa hats!! 

I cut this title out using a font on my computer.  I used lime green and red to match the pictures.

Our next stop was the Aquarium: 

This layout was featured in a Penguin Blog Hop HERE.  We got to the Aquarium just in time for lunch!! 

I love watching the penguins when people are with them! 

I used some Dylusions Ink to spritz my background paper.  These papers are from Frosted Designs - I just love them!! 

The next page is:

The second half of the Aquarium is under water.  We love going through the Shark Tank - we walk through a tunnel at the bottom of the tank. 

Of course I had to add a shark!!!

Tomorrow I will have Christmas Morning layouts on my blog - hope you join us!!
