SUNSHINE HAPPY ~ SKETCHY BOARDS CHALLENGE

Hello ! 
I hope your weekend is going splendidly. I have been a little off the grid lately, what with one thing and another, so trying to get myself motivated here. I thought I would join in with the challenge at Sketchy Boards, they are a nice lot of girls.
The challenge


this usually screams Greece to me , but when I looked through my photo's that I haven't scrapped yet , I had none that went with the colour scheme would you believe, So I went Fiji instead

Sunshine Happy


The Fun & Sun die cut is from my win at Sketchy Boards :) the flair is from StudioFourteen40. Lots of stamping , enamel dots (love them) , gesso , paint and chippies.
Not sure if I am happy with the layout, think I am feeling a bit blah about things at the moment. BUT these children are the happiest children I have ever met and doing the layout made me think about Navutu again. I would highly recommend Navutu if you want a totally relaxing , non touristy destination. Welcome to Paradise is about right. The village people may not have a lot of material possessions or mod cons, but they sure do seem a lot happier than a lot of people that do. The children don't have their heads stuck in television and play stations, but they have the biggest smiles . Anyway I want to go back !
So excuse me while I go and dream about going back to Navutu one day.

Love, Peace and Kindness
