This photo is of my sister Carmel & her gorgeous family, taken in their back yard in Albany, New Zealand, just prior to attending a wedding.  I’m so in love with these Authentic pps that I had to scrap them again this month J  for the first Authentic Colour challenge. Here’s the palette for September:

  I have “lifted” this LO (with permission from ScrapMatts) as it is their criteria for their challenge this month.  The original LO was created by Kerry Murray; of course her style is so inspirational and amazing!!  - If you would like to see what I totally aspire to - just go look at Kerry’s blog by clicking this link - this LO is so amazing I just had to try! Since I didn’t have that c/b fence, I’ve used a Tim Holtz die instead.
