Tut: Paper Flower

The video that I said I’d make. Hope you find it useful!
EDIT: I added a template… in case you’re not too comfortable winging it or freehanding it:

savitrisosketchaug15.jpg This is a page that I did for SoSketchy. I used a kit by Kasia from Shabby Pickle for this LO. I love her stuff, even for none digi people, the papers at least are really fun to print out.

Just like the page says, Love Everyday. Even if the little turd can’t seem to leave me a lone and be quiet for one itty bitty bit during her waking hours I love her to pieces. Does/did your 4-yr-old talk A LOT? I guess this is what we get for teaching her how to communicate early. Emma was “talking” since she was 6-mo-old. I taught her American Sign Language. She knew 30 some words before her 1st b-day (I think she knew about 90 before she quit… I couldn’t keep up, it was a lot). She never cried because we couldn’t figure out what she wanted. She could speak decently at 14-mo but I made her sign still because “nana” did not sound like banana to me. So she’s sign and say the words to me.

Emma’s first long sentence was before Christmas 2006. Back then we had two car seats. She loves the one in my car but the one in dad’s was old and well, not too attractive. So this was what she said, “For Christmas I want to ask Santa for a new car seat because I have the ugliest car seat that I have ever seen in my whole entire life.” The last part of the sentence got us laughing so loud. We both cried and of course Emma had no clue why; she was serious!

She didn’t get a new seat for Christmas. We waited and got her one before our trip last year. We now have a Safe Traffic System for dad’s truck. We all love it, especially when we traveled last year. We popped this thing in our carry-on. Glad we did because if not, we wouldn’t have had a car seat between airports (flight delayed) and carrying + installing a car seat as you all know, sucks!

Okie dokie… we had a great weekend together but I have to admit, I am looking forward to some nice quiet time at work, ha! See ya!

    I LOVE your tutorial! So great! My daughter sounds a LOT like yours. She is seven now and still talks non stop. When she really gets going I remind myself that in a few years I’ll be begging her to talk to me, so I just let her talk and talk.
