Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My Layout

I sometimes struggle with scrapbooking zoo pictures, because we tend to take photos of the same animals every time, but on this visit to the Los Angeles Zoo, the kids went on the Conservation Carousel, which features 66 hand carved animals/insects, representing many endangered species. This carousel is so unique; after all, where else can you sit on a giant praying mantis? I added the little sloth and a few insect stickers to the layout to go along with the animal theme, and set it all in a jungle, as shown by the floral paper. Hope my animals are happy there!

Wow, that's an unusual interpretation of the theme. Carousel animals for our challenge at Critter Crazy. Great idea and a beautiful photo. The children really look like they're having fun. Great design with this great design paper and the sloth as a breathtaking eye-catcher.
Thank you for taking part in the current Critter Crazy Challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
