I love watching my oldest nephew S interacting with his baby sister S. She always has a smile for her big brother. :) He's my go-to guy when I need to run off to the washroom..."You're in charge!"...I wish he still accepted "payment" in the form of hugs and kisses though....*LOL*
Me: Thanks for looking after Sophie, Sean. Come...let me give you a big hug and some kisses!
Sean: Noooooooo! [runs away in horror!!!!]
Me: [Taken aback by the sting of rejection..regains composure] Okay, let's do something you like.
Sean: *big smile* Let's play with shrink plastic!
Some fun with a Prima mask, texture paste and mists [For how-to, please refer to tutorial: How to use texture paste to create a custom background).
I wanted to play along with the Get Picky challenge at Punky Scraps [grid, small photos, white paint, no pink].
Supplies: Crate Paper patterned papers, sticker and trim, American Crafts thickers, chipboard and ribbon, Maya mists, Prima mask, flowers, texture paste, white pen, brown pen.
it is sad when they grow out of the kisses and hugs stage :(
