I used the new Animal Cookies paper pack for this layout. This paper is adorable and so versatile.



This layout is based on a layout in Imagine called Medley on page 34.

List of supplies used:

Animal Cookies Level 2 Paper Pack X7112B

Animal Cookies Level 2 Stickease X7112C

Sweet Baby Stamp Set C1359

Tulip Stamp Pad Z2116

White Daisy Pigment Ink Z2163

Summer Carnival B rad Assortment Z296

Dimensional Elements Simple Alphabet lowercase Z1048

Liquid Glass Z679

I random stamped the tulip cardstock with stamps from the Sweet Baby set in Tulip Ink to give the cardstock just a little umph. I cut "Let's get" on my cricut using the Opposites Attract cartridge. Then I covered the letters in liquid glass and then applied glitter to them. I also did that on the chipboard letters "wild." I also heat embossed the date and polka dots with white embossing powder to make it stand out a little more. The date stamp was from the January stamp of the month. The rhinestone frame is from our Connections club rewards. Ask me how you can earn a set of the rhinestone frames.







This next layout also uses the Animal Cookies paper.



This layout is based on the layout in Imagine on page 66 called Memoirs Complete.

List of supplies used:

Animal Cookies Level 2 Paper Pack X7112B

Animal Cookies Level 2 Stickease X7112C

Craft Buttons Summer Collection Z1282

Summer Collection Bigger Brads Z296

Tiny Typewriter stamp D1222

White embossing powder Z673

Liquid glass Z679

The word "the" in the title was made with chipboard circles covered with the Animal Cookies paper. I then stamped the letters with the Tiny Typewriter Alphabet stamp and then heat embossed the letters with white embossing powder. Then to get the epoxy look, I covered the circles with liquid glass and let it dry. The words zoo crew were cut with my cricut using the Zoobaloo cartridge and were also covered with liquid glass.
