Snips 'n Snails "n Puppy Dog Tails

I am playing with some older Penny Black stamps.  This one is Boys Will Be Boys and it brought back memories of when my four boys were youngsters.  I don't like to think they were made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails, but they were busy, fun and wonderful.  Their only sister would tell you they were also annoying.
 

30-122 Boys will be Boys; 51-128 Doodles

I stamped the largest image in the set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copics.  I fussy cut everything and remounted it on an oval diecut.  It just looked more interesting this way!  I added the "smile" sentiment and red dots for interest and balance.
 
It's a good feeling to take out those older sets and ink them up.  It's almost like they're new again!
 
And by the way, I think that little puppy looks a lot like Cooper would if I turned him upside down!!
 
Thanks for visiting.
