Dancing in the Rain

Last week before I left for the wedding, I had promised Little Miss we would go out to the field and pick daisies after the post office. We took a little too long getting ready, and it started to pour before we even got there. The little squeaky voice from the back of the car nearly broke my heart, so I stopped anyway. Little Miss had the best time and didn't seem to care that she was wet and soggy. I snapped a few photos and loved how they turned out in black and white.

I was so shocked when I got back from the wedding to see this new kit by Dancing Princess Designs called Dance in the Rain. It was perfect for my b&w photos, and what a title -- a week earlier Little Miss had been dancing in the rain. I couldn't resist. I loved the photos so much, I took Little Miss back to the same field for some shots when it wasn't raining. While she didn't have as much fun, since there were no puddles to jump in, the wind was blowing the wildflowers and the setting couldn't have been more perfect. I used Dance in the Rain for two daisy pages



And these are my sunny day photos picking daisies.
I made this page for a Speed Scrap at GDS hosted by Dancing Princess
I didn't quite fill the SS's requirements since I ran out of time and couldn't add my title, but I like how the page turned out with some photos tucked under the curve. I also added a little fun to the flowers with an acrylic style. The look reminded me of epoxy elements and the glue I bought that was supposed to give the effect, though I could never figure out how to make it work in real life. I think I used half the bottle trying to make an "epoxy" title. These flowers were much easier and quicker to make.



Here's what I used
