You really are my Sunshine



The new reveal at CSI is simply stunning. Here is my 2nd ever page for their DT. The colours were a great match for this photo of my younger children on our mini-vacation in Rotarua. It was after dark and we were at 'Rainbow Springs' enjoying the after dark kiwi experience. The girls and Benji were taking a break in the playground swinging on a giant tyre swing. I snapped the photo with my new i-phone 5 camera (I am seriously impressed with it - way better than the camera on the i-phone 4 in my opinion).
I sprayed and masked my background with various bright coloured inks. My papers are a selection from my new 'Studio Calico' collections. I used lots of circles because I loved the circle elements in this weeks sketch from the amazing Em Stafrace.
 
From the evidence list I used circles and ink/paint splatters. I used a song lyric (You are my Sunshine) to inspire my title and journaling. I wanted my younger children to know how very grateful I am to have them - especially now that my older boys are young adults preparing to 'leave the nest'.


I do hope that you have time to try out this challenge. The colours really are a delight to work with. Have a great weekend, and a very happy mother's day to all the mothers out there who are being spoiled tomorrow :)))
