The Cute Owl is Back!

I really like how it turned out. I made it last night, minus the owl peaking over the picture on the right p…

Isn't He Cute?

I love this owl! When I received my Big Shot starter kit, I liked the Top Note Bigz die that came in the kit, but I didn't think I'd use it that much. Boy, was I wrong!
