Owl Layout

I've been waiting a long time to scrap these photos (they were taken when my son was in 5th grade and he is now 20), but first I misplaced his owl report, and then I couldn't find where I put the photos his teacher had given me. Finally I found both at the same time, so I decided it was time to scrapbook this somewhat disgusting event. He did a whole report on owls that I wanted to include in the layout, so I created a vellum pocket and slipped the owl inside. most of the pocket is covered by papers and photos, but you can see a little bit of it on the left side of the layout.
