for my project, i used both sunny skies and wanderlust! (with a dash of midnight letters and a splash of good times, ha ha!)! this layout just captures an everyday moment that i shot of my little menn on their way to school one morning!  some of the clouds were popped up for dimension and i added washi tape underneath to make it look like rain, or sun rays, your choice! 


the bottom of the layout has a few more clouds, and some awesome stamps from the wanderlust stamp set! LOVE that set!!
