Frozen Charlotte & Catherine's Die Cut Skirt

Here's a couple of my latest projects. I picked up a few oval frames at my last company sample sale and I knew I wanted to make a 3D picture with it. I dressed a frozen Charlotte doll with some of my scrap fabrics and added some miscellaneous items. The crown is made from a Martha Stewart crown punch that I just glittered. I added a typewriter key at the bottom of the frame.

For my other project, I wanted to use one of my latest purchases from Catherine Moore, her die cut skirt that goes with one of her French Laundry stamps. It's cool how the die cut works so perfectly to cut the tiny squares between the skirt pattern. I couldn't wait to make something with it. I accordion folded a sheet of music paper to layer under the die cut stamp of the French Laundry skirt. I then added pieces from her other stamps to complete the girl: arms, bodice and mansion. The head is from an image from one of the Dover CD books.

  1. I love her Connie! Your sister Lana wrote to me with your approval to post her in my Yahoo Groups gallery. She can be found in a photo album that bears your name. I really love the idea of attaching items to the crinoline. So many possibilities. And, I love the house image from my Bird & Bee Paperie collection that you used as a background. It's nice to see you use it!

  4. I love both things. When are you going to start teaching? I want to be a class taker and have you as the teacher. Seriously, I'd like to be the adopted sister at one of your future play days!
