Papertrey Pages June Challenge

This is my third post for today, so please scroll down to see the other two!

Beth has motivated many of us on the PTI forum to use our stamps for our scrapbooking layouts.  Like many other people on the forum, I was a scrapbooker first.  Then PTI came into my life, and scrapping took a backseat to cardmaking.  I was thrilled when Beth opened the floor for layout challenges. 

This month's challenge was to create our own background paper with stamps.  PERFECT!  I've had these zoo pictures sitting around waiting to be put on a layout, so there is no time like the present.

I love PTI's background stamps.  I especially love the ones that are easy to line up.  BB: Tin Type is so easy (even a caveman could do it! [sorry, had to do it])
I'm not sure I've used the other two stamps in this set because I love, love, LOVE this one so much. 

Here's my layout:

I am becoming a CAS scrapbooker lately, perhaps because it is easy and fast.  I need to get caught up.  You can see I'm only on November, and right now it is June.  I set my own deadlines.  The facing page is made up of more pictures with some patterned zoo paper.  No PTI stamps on it, so I didn't take a picture.

Thanks, Beth!  Keep up the motivation please!
