Papergirls - Alter A Photo!

This months brilliant competition over on The Papergirls is to alter a photograph!!! Its doubly brilliant because this months comp is being sponsored by my good friend Caroline at Bubbly Funk

My first reaction was 'Oh Lordy!!!' because I have never done this before! But after having a nosey round I realised that I didn't have to pretend to be all technical but to just use some imagination to interpret a pic. PHEW!!!!!

I love this photo of my daughter taken when she was 6months old. It was the very first time that she noticed flowers. I was on my way out and had plonked her (like you do hehe) on the grass while locking the door. I was very impressed that she actually picked the daisy herself!!!

So I really just had to use flowers somewhere, or everywhere in this case!!!! The canvas is only little at 5"x5", which I faffed around with paint on!!! Scrumped and tarted flowers and a bit of stamping and doodling completed it. Took me ages too but I like it!!!! The sentiment is one of my favourites. Mind you...this little cherub is scaring the beejeebers out of her Mum by back-packing round NZ. She has informed me she is doing a free fall this week....arghhhh!!!

Thank you so so much for looking and don't forget I have some BLOG CANDY going on the last post. XXXX
