So littlest nephew J is officially into his terrible 3s phase. Naughty beyond a shadow of a doubt. It's spontaneous combustion when he can't get his way....and it's ugly! *LOL*
Does he get his way? Hmmmm....
I usually let him go at it for a minute or so to let him get his frustration out of his system...then he has to stop and tell me what he wants. Since I'm a skilled negotiator, we always end with peace....and sometimes, candy. *LOL*
I used the sketch at Creative Scrappers.
Supplies Basic Grey patterned papers and brad, MT tape, Maya mists, American Crafts thickers, ribbon, button, thread, black pen.
Me ... im the opposite... I'd usually end up giving in to matin...im so glad ..hes bigger now... kinda miss those tantrums... he he...
ReplyDeleteThis layout is fun, fabulous and I heart the pp used too... did I see handstitched???

ReplyDeleteHehe....that's a surprise!
Deleteaww..so cute! i am dreading this terrible2/3 phase, will be fun to see my daughter get her way though :)

Not every kid goes through this phase. Nephew #1 & #2 didn't throw tantrums at the same age. Hope you get lucky. :)
DeleteHe is super cute in his melt down! :) Gorgeous page with all the fabbie patterned paper layers. And wow for that artsy stitching!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute...Tell me about the tantrums and the terrible twos and threes...have combated that twice .Nice Layout as usual...and a very unusual cjhoice of pictures and subject for a scrapbook.
ReplyDeleteyou amazing at designing your pages, Yvonne! can't stop staring at the squares and how they frame the photos so effortlessly. fabulous work as always!
ReplyDeleteoh i have definitely been through this phase and know its quite difficult to handle...you are doing a fab job if you are able to negotiate peace...i usually ended up giving in to their wishes..bad me :(...your LO is super as usual i love the pics and central flower brad you have used..so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLove this layout and the subject matter!! Fabulous :0)
ReplyDeleteAh, temper tantrums...blech. Do you know one tip I saw which made me laugh, is to video the tantrum & show the child? Something about seeing how they look so ridiculous helps them not do it as much. At the very least, you'll get a giggle watching it again when they're teenagers! I love the idea of memorializing this - after all, every kid does it! love the perfect washi border :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm....something I should try. Thanks for sharing Jessi! :)
DeleteLOL...awesome page!
ReplyDeletecant get enough of this cuteness, love the beautiful layout and adorable printed papers, so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, Love how you pulled these gorgeous colors from the photo and the journaling on the photos is sooooo cool!! ~ Blessings, Tracey

You mean he doesn't save all his tantrums for home? I thought that was the upside of being an aunt! Love the stitching on this.
