Weebas & Wuppos

Do you ever have an idea for a layout - or even just a title - before you even have the photos? Before we took our trip to the Los Angeles Zoo last weekend, I knew I wanted to do a "Weebas & Wuppos" page. Right now, I am just fascinated with McKenna's vocabulary and I have lots of layouts in the works (in my head, at least) that feature her pronunciations. So needless to say, zebras and hippos were on our "must see" list for our zoo trip. I wasn't too happy with the photos I was able to snap, but I love how the layout came out!

I hadn't a clue what I wanted to do with this page, except that I knew I wanted to use zebra print somewhere. I originally thought I wanted to do something very similar to my "New Hoos" layout with a black or white cardstock background and blocks of either cardstock or patterned paper in black, white, bright green and zebra. Well, that idea went out the window when I found this patterned paper in my stash! I love it :)
