Inner Child

I am combining two challenges in one 4×4 this week.

The 4×4 Friday challenge is using a “quote” in your creation.
The challenge over at Layers of Colors is “children”. (BTW, I did use two stamps, the background stamp is pretty much covered up, but I also used a Layers of Colors unmounted bubble stamp along the edges, it’s very subtle here).

I started with a photo of me when I was two years old. It was taken just outside of Munich, Germany. Am I pouting or WHAT! I Love my wicker pram in the background, there’s only a peek of it. That would be a wonderful thing to still have, but it is long gone.

I used one of JoAnna Pierotti’s darling dresses from a Paper Whimsy sheet that I recently ordered.

Boy, did I ever have to fiddle getting the image of me the right size to fit the dress; cutting arms and adding bits of dress color to make it work, using a little Signo white gel pen….luckily I like to fiddle.

That is the music to Swan Lake in the background.

So here is the quote I chose by Stephen Nachmanovitch:

“The most potent muse of all is our own inner child”
