Zoo

Today Patrick and I went to Henry Doorly Zoo today. Both of us have grown up going to this Zoo, if you live in or near Omaha and have never gone to Henry Doorly Zoo, I encourage you to tour this Zoo. Whether it is in the middle of Winter or Summer the Zoo is open.

This was Patrick and I first visit during the cold season. We still have a great time. We toured the Lied Jungle (which during the summer can be too hot... but today it warmed us up).

One of my favorite places at the Zoo, is the Cat Complex, it was closed due to re-modeling however some of the cats were outside.

Since Patrick and I have a Zoo pass this year, I bet you will see more Zoo pictures and Zoo scrapbook pages.

Moonlight

Today was one of those lovely evenings. My husband, Patrick turned 37 today and it was about 50 degrees...for Nebraska in February that was fantastic! By the time evening came, the moon was so bright, it lit up the sky.

I volunteer to make birthday cards at work, this is for one of the girls on my team. I just loved how it came out. The colors are sponged on.

Stair Step Card

Happy February! Wow, Didn't January go quickly? I wanted to try this stair step card. It turned out very well, don't you think? I love the POP UP affect!

Back to the Cold

Yes today was much colder than yesterday. I believe the temp was about 20 degrees. Cold compared to yesterday.

I created some Valentine cards... Same layout...just different design... Hope you like them.

A Warm January Day

Today was 52 degrees. It was beautiful. It made me think of the day I went to the Zoo with my in-laws and Aunt/Uncle in law and the grandchildren.

I knew as soon as I left work, I wanted to come home and scrapbook those pictures.

Aly and Celeste were great models that day, everyone was in an excellent mood. It was great scrapping those pictures, I remembered it like it was yesterday and not last October.

I am glad I got this done...since tomorrow it is suppose to be cold again. Maybe even SNOW this weekend.

Christmas Cards

This is year has been extremely difficult for me to come up with One Christmas Card idea. In past, I have made one card idea for everyone on my list. Creating one card this year is not working. It is not that I can't come up with ideas, I see different ideas and I want to try them. There has not been one design that I have wanted to re-create over and over again. This year, I have even been tempted to buy box cards.

Here are some of the cards I have come up with.

a short and tall option

Trying the color blue

a pull out card

I even tried Happy New Year's card!


Even tried the one with Patrick and my picture on front.

I believe this year, will be the year of different cards for everyone. My drop dead date for mailing cards is December 22nd, so hopefully everyone will get their Christmas Card in time for Christmas. In case I don't speak with you before next Thursday, have a GREAT Christmas with your family and friends.

Love,

Jenny
