I thought I was done. . .

but today when Kaitlin was napping I decided to try my hand at a Cluadine Hellmuth knockoff. I didn't have any of the supplies that I think I need (like some good paintbrushes and a good sharp point black pen), but here it is. The picture of Kaitlin is from her recent trip to Arches with Jeremy. It's the only picture that we've taken of her lately where she's smiling, but not flashing her cheesy "pretty" smile. Anyway, it's a night picture, that's why I made the background black and blue. The quote says "There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." I did it by writing with my embossing pen, embossing with clear powder and then ironing it off after the paint dried. (Using the supplies--it's amazing what a girl can pull out of her stash!) Other than that the scale is a little off. I think Kaitlin's head looks a bit too big. And now I can't wait to get my Claudine Hellmuth kid's arms and legs stamps. They have a 4 week turnaround, though. It's going to be torture.
