Sunshine of the Family

Hi Everyone

Yes it has been a long month, I have been so busy with family commitments that I have not had a chance to touch base with everyone on my blog.

I was so excited when I saw

because the inspiration was:

Word - SunshineColour - Yellow

I got straight into my craft room and created the beautiful layout below.
But I was not happy with it so put it to one side. 
I had used black cardstock and covered it with clear Gesso - for some reason it did not come out clear as it had brush marks all over the background. 
I then textured the background with Cadence paste - colour Ashy Rose.

I then added the photos of my beautiful grand-daughter playing in a field of beautiful sun flowers. 
As soon as I saw the photos it reminded me of Sunshine and bright colours like Yellow.


I was not happy with the layout and didn't think I should enter it into the More Than Words September Challenge so I put it to one side. 

That was at the beginning of the month
Now at the end of the month I created the following layout.


I was pleasantly surprised when not only had a used photos from the same time my granddaughter was having fun in the Sun Flower field but I had also used the same 49 & Market flowers. 
The difference was I had used the 49 & Market Island Paradise paper - By the Sea
Once again I used clear gesso to coat the background and then after once again using  Cadence paste - colour Ashy Rose. I then sprayed with Lindy's Starburst Sprays - Cape Cod Coral

Both of these layouts remind me of how the beautiful grand daughter is the 
Sunshine of the Family 

I do hope you all enjoy the layouts and don't forget to go and look at all the other beautiful layouts at the More Than Words September Challenge
