A card, layout and some ZOO pics!

 First off, the Unscripted sketch for this week!!!  Try to play along. 

 This weeks sketch has an additional challenge with it and that is to use buttons. I pulled out one of Nikki Sivils, Scrapbookers newest pieces of patterned paper for my card.

 The extra challenge for buttons was so easy since I used Nikki Sivils self adhesive buttons! They come with the thread on them, making them look like you sewed each one on! The biggest circle I accented with a brad from Nikki Sivils.  The sentiment is a stamp by Lawn Fawn.

 I wanted to share this layout I recently completed too.  Our youngest grandson had a little hospital stay some time ago so I created a collage of some of the photos, especially showing when Grandma and Grandpa helped keep him occupied since he couldn't go far with all of those tubes, etc.  The black, circle piece is cut with the Cricut as are the title letters. The patterned paper is by Nikki Sivils and the background cardstock is Core'dinations.  It comes with the circles embossed on it already, I just anded it a bit.

And for a few photos...

 These guys were my favorite find one our recent little trip to the San Diego zoo. 

 For most of them, it was nap time. They each had their own tree and it completely cracked me up how they curled up in a ball and slept sitting up, with their head propped up against the tree.

 Is this a face you could LOVE!?

 Our grandson got ahold of the little zoo map as we entered the park and made it his mission for the entire day to keep that map handy. This was SERIOUS business.  Here he is, nose to nose with a gorilla.

And, here is out little adventurer with his new ZOO hat!
