At The Zoo: CSI

 Hey there Scrappy Friends!

Today I am sharing my take on case file #434 at CSI. I used Simple Stories from my stash for this fun page of Greg and I at the zoo in Brownsville, Texas:

I added some horizontal strips of patterned papers to the middle of my white cardstock background. I machine stitched them in place.

Since I had so many photos, I decided to make 2 different matchbooks to hold them- 1 for vertical photos and the other for horizontal photos. I created a grid layout:

I placed 1 matchbook to the left of the top photo. I used foam Thickers for my title. I fussy cut the flamingo from one of the papers and popped it up with craft foam:

Here is the 2nd matchbook. I added some ribbon and some stickers:

I hand cut some triangles to create the banner:

I opened the matchbooks up so you could see the inside. Each holds about a dozen photos and some journaling:

Here is a quick look at the case file. Check out the Facebook page for the entire case file.

I was inspired by the colors, book theme and animals. I used similar colors and created a zoo layout that I made 2 matchbooks to hold lots of photos and journaling.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
