Kangaroos and Polar Bears

Good morning!

Today's post is the last one I've made for Melanie's Blogaversary - and it's one of my favorite ones! Look at those kids of mine in that big kangaroo - how cute is that?!

We have an amazing free zoo in Madison that we frequently visit throughout the year. They have several fun spots like the ones in today's photos and we always use them as photo ops. It's fun to see how much the kids have grown throughout the years. This polar bear is a favorite spot of ours. Melanie's bears from Cuddles and Hugs and Jumping for Joy worked perfectly with this photo.

This photo was taken at the play park at the zoo. When we saw that kangaroo, we had to make the kids get inside the pouch for this photo. It's so cute! So naturally, I pulled out Melanie's Kangaroos from Just so Hoppy and Hip Hop Accessories to embellish this page. Aren't they perfect?

Today's the last day of the Blogaversary Celebration - so be sure to take the time to leave a comment to be entered to win the last of the blog candy from Melanie. Here's all the links for you to check out everyone else's projects for today....

Good morning!

I have another set of 6x6 scrapbook pages that I'd like to share with you today using Melanie's adorable animal stamp sets - this time I used Jumping for Joy, Just so Hoppy, and Hip Hop Accessories. If you click on the photos, they should enlarge for you to get a closer look at all the details...

My kids LOVE to go swimming, so we always hit a few waterparks and hotels with swimming pools throughout the year with them. These photos were taken this summer on our family vacation at Wisconsin Dells. Melanie's seal and frogs were perfect for the photos as were the sentiments that she's included with her sets.

Don't these photos make you wish for warmer, summer weather? It sure does for me! LOL!

Here's the list of all the other gals who are joining in on Melanie's blog hop today:

If you are looking for animal stamps that are oozing with personality, you need to look no further than GinaK Designs! Just look at those faces? Don't they look like they're ready to jump off the paper and come to life?

No matter if you use her awesome Koh-i-Noor Pencils & Odorless Mineral Spirits, the amazingly vibrant Peerless Watercolors she sells in her store (although I can't find them on her online store right now), or even Sakura's Glitter pens, they all turn out so cute!

These are just 4 cards that I've made over the past few months that were super quick and easy. When you have awesome stamps, you don't need to do much work to show them off, do you?

Have a great day! We're off to a Waterpark for an over-nighter with the kids today! They are so excited!
