Safari Madness!

Hi all! I'm finally posting something! LOL! My crafting buddy Leanne and I have been delving into custom invitations under the team name "Yumi & Fumi" (our Japanese middle names).  This is our first full fledged team effort and it was created for an 8th grade class graduation party.  We really had a good time doing this and we were very happy with the results.  The giraffe, lion, and elephant are from Stamps by Judith and the sweet lil' hangin' monkey is from the Recollections Clear Stamp Set, Zoo-licious from Michael's.  The base paper is Neenah Desert Storm and the inks are Memento and Tim Holtz's Distress Ink and Copic Markers.  The leaf punches are from Punch Bunch and I'm a HUGE fan of my trusty ol' Tonic scissors. OH! OH! And some of my favorite stamps in the whole wide world are created by Suzanne Woolcott.  We used two of her rubber stamps for our little "Yumi & Fumi" signature because it just looked like the two of us!

We did so many different things on this invite...I don't know that I remember all of it! LOL! Well, I just wanted to share our project with you.  I took pictures throughout the process so you could see the work we put in.

I tried to use "slide" to show you the pix, but I was bummed when I couldn't figure out how to add music.  So, I also tried iMovie but the photo quality is low.  Both are included below.  My suggestion is hit the play on the movie and watch the SLIDE show below...it has a MUCH better quality view.    Hope you like...xoxo

Here is my "slide"show...
