Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

Today I used the winter tree from Tree Greetings and the small winter tree from Tree Selections to create the borders of this pond scene. The pond edge is from Mountain Selections. I colored in with markers.

Today's featured stamp set is called Paper Doll Out and About. 

My card has a  6" x 4 3/4" base made from  12x12 scrapbook paper. The doll is attached with velcro so that the recipient can remove it.

Today the Paper Doll Formal Wear set is being featured. I made the card 6" x 4 3/4". This was done using 12 x12 scrapbook paper as the base. I attached the doll with a piece of velcro to the card so that the doll could be removed by the recipient.

Today they are featuring the Paper Doll stamp set. I love it!

Here is my project:

This was a 12X12 piece of scrapbook paper.  I folded it in half  an then scored at 8". I folded it in and glued along the outside flaps to make pockets on each side. I added coin envelopes to hold the clothes.

 Here are the dolls dressed. This is the SAME doll. I just changed the hair by cutting it shorter on the red head. The black haired doll has a bun. I did that by stamping the doll then drawing a bun on with a black marker. I shaped the hair with scissors. The dolls underwear coordinates with their clothes! You can mix and match them, too! Notice this is the same outfit colored 3 different ways?

 Here you can see the dolls dressed for a business meeting.

Get on over to the MFPaHC Blog for this week's Blog Hop! It's the final day!

 I love to scrapbook. I have made many of them for family and friends. I saw this set and it made me think of scrapbook paper! 

I think it looks good as wrapping paper too!

I put the two photo stamps on the same acrylic block to save time in inking and stamping. I added in the Family sentiment to fill the spaces and get a better looking wrapping paper. 

The tag is a Sizzix Die.

Here I went the more traditional route. I got some over-stamped ink around her head. I decided to keep it since it looks like a antique! Don't usually use flower accents but this card needed it. I am trying to make my cards look more like Jane C. and DJ on the design team. They get very beautiful results from the use of accent items on their cards.
