My littlest nephew J was in the "sulk" phase of toddlerhood back in August. He would walk to a corner and sulk until the person who made him unhappy came to coax him...[that person would be me...he sticks to me like super glue!*LOL*] Things that made him unhappy include me leaving the room or talking to his brothers and ignoring him. So possessive eh? I must be irresistable! *LOL*
So I had fun trying out my guest Piali's block stamping technique! :) I'm not a very neat stamper though...I covered up my mistakes with some mist splatters and the strategic placing of buttons to form a visual triangle...*LOL*
I was inspired by the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays and the stamping challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous.
Supplies: (from YSS) Crate Papers, buttons, Maya Road stamp. Others: Maya mists, distress inks, American Crafts foam letter, 7 Gypsies sticker, white pen, black pen, ribbon.
Yvonne... Your nephew reminds me of my nephew.. He would sulk till the person who has annoyed him goes to pamper him or until the person is scolded... if either of the two is done, the transformation is miraculous.. This is a cute LO and your nephew is adorable...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
