Wacky

I came across with the site of Another freaking scrappy challenge and found this sketch:

The instruction says scrap something fun or humorous and I think I have the best picture for this challenge.  All I have to do next is follow the sketch and here's my take on it:

The picture was taken during the Christmas Eve of 2010.  My daughter Tien (in red) was playing with her nanny and I asked them to pose a little wacky at the count of three.

The DIY kites were perfect embellies.  They add happiness to the layout.  Plus the DIY clouds which I cut from a cardboard, painted with gesso and acrylic paint and finished with Judikins diamond glaze.

Another happy feeling are the houses and flowers on the left bottom part of the layout.

So here it is...  a funny picture in a happy sketch.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for dropping by!

Happy weekend!
