Rub-a-Dub-Dub

Made this for my grandson who loves to take baths. When I saw this image, it reminded me of how he looks at me when I tell him it is time to get out of the tub. LoL

I also have a funny story regarding a bear with him. When he was just under a year old, I was changing his diaper on the changing table and he was holding a teddy bear and moving him around like if the bear was an air plane. He very quietly said "Gammy". Since his birth, I have placed his hand on his chest and said "Hendrix" and then I put his hand on my chest and said "Gammy" in the hopes he someday would call me Gammy. So when I heard him say "Gammy" so quietly and clearly, you can imagine how excited I was! I replied excitedly, "Yes, Hendrix, I am Gammy!" He looks at me very calmly, holding the bear in his right hand, reaches his right arm out over the edge of the changing table and drops the bear. Then clasps his hands and proceeds to just stare at me. LoL I guess he did not care for my excitement at that moment. What is a Gammy to do? LoL

This is a digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called In the Bath. Papers are surely discontinued from Scenic Route. I purchased them from another crafter back in 2010. Banners are die cuts from Amazon. Enamel dots are from Your Next Stamp. I am aging my products because the little metal "cute" embellishment is from back, I want to say like 2005, I think, when these staples were all the rage. I had about three of these left and now I am down to TWO! I myself am pretty excited about that! Ribbon, plastic bear and yellow safety pins are from my stash. I colored the image with Copic markers and added flecks of brown, tan and white gel pens on the bear to give him some dimension. You tell me, did it work? ;) By the way, I add links so that if you express interest on any of the items I used, you can find them for yourself. I do not get any type of compensation for these links. It is just something I do for anyone who takes the time to read my blog. Like I said, in case you are interested in any of the products I have used that may still be available. It is one of my biggest pet peeves to visit a blog and see the cutest image or a product or technique and then there's no explanation on how to do it yourself or where you might get the item. If I want to know more, I am stuck and out of luck. I share what I know or have purchased freely... so that's just a little FYI for you. :)

I would like to enter this into the Cardz 4 Guyz #306 - Teddy Bears.
