Pink Christmas?!?!?!

Dressing my Doll

When I first saw the Julie Nutting dolls, I didn't get them.  Then I bought a couple of the smaller ones.

I now spend a ridiculous amount of time dressing them.  Her dress is watercolor paper with shades of red and yellow mixed up, stamped and fussy cut.  Hair was stamped on wood look paper.  Her tights are watercolored with golden yellow, then textured with an old SU! background stamp.  Boots are also watercolored and trimmed with some velvet ribbon.  The fuzzy kitty and the sentiment were stamped on the same paper as the doll base.  Background is really old DCWV paper, embossed with a Fiskars spiderweb texture plate.  The card is 3.5" x 5".  Sharing with the Cards in Envy Let's Play Dress Up challenge.

Never Before Used Schtuff Challenge!!

I don't know about you, but collecting craft supplies is as much fun for me as making things with those supplies!!  Thankfully Darnell has her NBUS challenges to prompt me to use some new things. 

Julie Nutting Holiday Bliss doll fussy cut, I heat embossed the shoes, and trimmed the dress in fuzzy trim.  The striped paper, stamps, embossing powder, and trim are all NBUS.  Still plenty of time to play along with us at Words 2 Craft By for our Logic vs. Imagination challenge!

Our new challenge at Words 2 Craft By is based upon a quote often attributed to Albert Einstein:

I was blessed with many wonderful teachers in my life, including academics, mentors, and artists.  Thank you to everyone who takes the time to nurture curiosity and imagination in young and old.
