It's better when the sun shines - SOSN 06/30

beautiful. I love the layering of the paint, frame and stars under your photo, then that curly ribbon on top

Love the worn linen background which allows your photo and elements to pop. Great use of the transfer to add softness and other colors to your layout.

@Dalis - for those of us who are more into clean and simple, it's perfect just as is. But I can understand if you are usually a "pile it on" girl, this might feel like "not enough." Just trust your instincts and alter as it suits you -- a practice I always use with FDD templates since her challenge ones are usually loaded and I do my own "dressing down" to make them my own.

You sound just like me "Oh wait - there's a blank spot". This is perfect, Dalis! I love the stars that remind me of sun rays.

@Dalis Oh, I've done this before! LOL I really like it but totally understand the "need" to fill all of that "blank space".

Oh I love white space but we are many and varied! Gorgeous page and I love it all!

@Dalis - the new rendition is lovely too. Although I liked the other, I think I agree with you on this background working even better. Good, better, best (it's a question we all struggle with)!
