Up Close To An Owl....

I remember the day I took this photo so well.  Keith was fascinated with this little owl.  We had a really nice day.  One of those back to nature kind of days.

I used the new kit out by Gingerscraps Ladies it's called Who's Wise and Naturally Wonderful Templates by Connie Prince.  I used it in a very different way because really it's a back to school kit but since Hubby and I don't have kids... I sought out a photo where we were learning something.  Hope you enjoy the results.

and THIS is my layout....

Until I scrap again.....

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I had taken a photo of my husband this year and have been waiting for the right kit to scrap it with and when I found my design partner for this month at Gingerscraps was Z Pink Boudoir Designs.  I started looking at her kits and found the PERFECT kit.  Check it out HERE 

And just because Zeee is such a great lady she created a coupon just for all of my blog readers...  isn't she sweet?  Don't forget this coupon expires the end of October.
