Christmas Paper Dolls & More...

I've been buying some of the recent Christmas paper pads & embellishments at Michael's knowing that I was going to make some Christmas paper dolls.

Well, tonight was the night. This is what my table looked like during the process...but it wasn't all me, my sister Pat and Lana were over too.

For my paper dolls, I used a variety of  stamps from Catherine Moore (http://www.characterconstructions.com) and stamped her girls on a bunch of different Christmas papers. I mixed and matched doll parts with embellishments and came up with these...

She reminds me of the Green Hulk's wife

Opps, left off her shoes

Now that's a funky dress

Like her stocking?

This afternoon, my sisters Pat and Lana came over for an artful playdate. Pat was showing me how to make the watch face ornament below. It's hard to see, but there's a glass dome over the ornament.

I found a box of  watch faces at East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse long ago...so it was perfect for this project. This one measures about 4" tall.
