Here is my entry

  A Bookmark 

made with the 

Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge. 

(I do not own Zoo Balloo).

I use the head feature cut at 3 inches. I did some doodling and inking. I also used a stamp from my stash: "Go Wild".  

The instructions for the giraffe are so very easy.

I took a piece of thick chipboard and cut it at 7-3/4 inches high by 1-1/2 wide. I covered  it with textured cardstock from DCWV using a strong adhesive. (I used Scor-Pal tape). I inked the edges. I then cut the giraffe head from the Animal Kingdom cartridge at 3 inches high on thick chipboard for the base and I used the hide contour to eliminate the marks. I then cut the head again at 3 inches high: the shift and the no shift one on different patterned papers. I used the Scor Pal tape again to attach the head to the base. I put the tape on the thicker part of the head and eyes. This way I would have a "clean" area to slide the book page to mark. Does it make sense?

If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
