Wanted to share today just a little bit of sunshine! Most times I have to restraint myself with the yellow but this was not one of those times. I pulled out the watercolors the buttons and the puffy yellow thickers.
It really doesn't come across here but this photo of my son was on a really bright day when the sun was shining in his eyes and he gave me the greatest smile! It's one of my favorite photos because normally I get that look...you know the look kids give you when you're trying to get a 'happy' picture of them. The one where they aren't smirking or rolling their eyes!
Along with this great map paper from Crate Paper I used some of those little bits and badges from Scarlet Bird Designs. I love great bold papers but to go along with them I like to layer with a lot of extra bits here and there. I don't buy them much but it's been really fun working with all the little shapes and tags from Ursula's new line.
Oh and did you notice the chevron arrow? That was the left behind bits from when I cut one of the arrows in a previous post of mine. I love paper cutting because what's left over is equally interesting as what the negative space looks like in what you are cutting.
We are having some much needed rain here in florida and a little less sunshine which is ok because I'm already tired of the heat! But I never tire of yellow and the happiness it exudes.
Thanks for stopping by today...
Take care
Your work always inspires me. Love everything about this!
