Behind the Art with Stacey

Happy Monday and welcome to a new month at Inside Out!  We are working with the concept of Shine!  In honor of the holiday yesterday, I focused on the idea of freedom and life in America.  The adorable cursive word, Sunshine, inspired me.

 

I decided to use the stencil in the kit to create waves of sunshine.  I have had this photo for a while and I love the American flag in the back.  I added stars to the page to match my theme.

 

 

I built a long title that really communicated my message.  I added the heart over the i in sunshine. 

 

 

I wrote a reminder to myself and my children.  Remember to appreciate your freedoms and take advantage of your opportunities.  They don't live in a place of war and can make their own decisions.  I wanted them to know that.  This is an important page that I may not have made if not for the idea of shine.
