Hello everyone,

Again, it's been a while... I'd like to say that I promise to get better, but I say so every time I post... so... Plus, my father, stepmother and sister are coming to visit next week (arriving on the 6th), so I know I won't be able to do much scrapbooking/blogging!

Anyway, onto my new LO!

I played for the "Once upon a sketch challenge"... We had to write about something we miss... Well, I miss my lovely nephew... every day... So I thought he would make for a great subject!

Here is the sketch:

And here is my take:


And a few close-ups:





WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* I am happy I used various materials: stick pins, crackle paint, embossing folder

* I have been waiting to buy a notebook border punch for a while

STASH USED

* The yellow rick rack on which I applied Distress stain (I wanted to tone it down)
