Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua

I loved our time at the Tiger Temple, it was truly amazing! The photos I took turned out great and I really wanted to do them justice. When I first saw this paper collection from My Mind's Eye, the colors were exactly what I wanted. The monks robes were bright orange but I really didn't want the layout to be orange but this combination of greens and light oranges worked out great.

The Journey Awakens the Soul

This is my all time favorite photo from our whole trip to Thailand. The whole family together with huge smiles and a very large tiger sleeping in my husband's lap.

In This Moment

Watching my husband fulfill one of his dreams, to pet a tiger, was definitely a memorable highlight. The last picture in this series makes me laugh. The look on his face is priceless and it is at that moment that Steve realized the pure power and strength of these animals as the one on his lap moved unexpectedly.

Nice Kitty

Isn't it funny how scrapbooking is alot like fashion. Things come and go out of style. For awhile there Rub-ons were the hottest thing to have on your layout. In fact, I have drawers full of them! But I find myself using them less and less in favor of some of the newer items, like chipboard. So I decided it was time to start using some of those Rub-ons. I wanted something running across the top but didn't have something that big so I took a couple of different Rub-ons that were similar in colour and pieced them together across the top. You would hardly know.

That's Hillarious

Some more of my favorite photos from the Tiger Temple. The one of my Mom still makes me laugh! Just as she knelt down to pet the tiger, who was laying on his side, he decided to roll over on his back and present "himself" to her. It was so funny! So she decided to try to put his paw in her hand for a picture and when she touched him, he startled making my my jump too!
