Done. Finished. Final PDDU series.

Yes my friends. You read that right. We've reached the last episode of the series. We all agreed to start and end with a tag - using the border from the last page and any other image in the book that we desired. Mine was very simple and made with little scraps of paper from the scrap bin. Very easy and a nice way to end the series. Please check out the other ladies this afternoon and give them kudos for the wonderful work they've done thru series and please keep them on your list to draw inspiration from in the future. They are all amazing and talented women. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to work with them.

PDDU 10

YEEEE HAAAAH! Greetings ladies and gentlemen... This is what I came up with for page 67 of the Paper Doll Dress Up challenge. The wonderful ladies I am working with are so forgiving. I was out in the wilderness on vacation and didn't have cel service to upload my project. Talk about the wild west. I went to Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Virginia and Nevada City, Ennis, Jackson, and Idaho. Sorry, can't say much for Idaho. Loved the rest though! Idaho will always have a close place in my heart for their onions and potatoes... But I couldn't find a thing to do there! To be fair, I didn't google or map out anything ahead of time. So maybe there is and I just didn't see it. We were true "explorers" and totally "winged" the entire trip. Talk about stressing me out. I am a planner. So this was a good challenge for me. Anyhoo... Enough about me. Here are the deets on the project.

Now turn to page 67 in your booklet... LOL! Aren't the images fantastic? So much you can do with them! The background paper was from DCWV Rustic Pack. Yes. DCWV. Its not that I don't buy other brands of paper but I live right down the road from a JoAnns and always pick up their packs at great prices... LOL! The face is the Peachy Keen face stamp I've used previously. I only have a couple but they are so great. I got a smudge on her face with the ink. Note to self, stamp the face FIRST before you dress the doll. Otherwise your screwed... LOL! I covered it up with some indian feather stickers. But don't tell anyone k? :)

Here are the sizes my Gypsy listed:
11.53 x 7 and 10.56 x 6.41 scallopy background, lacy labels.
Girl cut at 2.57 x 3.59
Vest 1.19 x 3.59
Hat 2.76 x 3.59
2.33 x 3.59 Hair
1.95 x 3.59 shirt
1.75 x 3.59 skirt
1.71 x 2.65 skull
 rope 2.93 x 3.35
 horse1.83 x 4.29
6.59 x 2.41 mountains
1.66 x 5.00 horse collar

Now, for the REAL talent, go to the other ladies blogs and give them some bloggy love!

PPDU 9

I think I am on page 63 this week. LOL! Or at least I hope I am!








The cardstock I used was a really really dcwv stack for fall paper. Everything was cut on my Gypsy. So those are the sizes I will be referring to.  Little Pilgrim woman was cut at 3.16 x 4.41 Cornacopia at 2.45x3.35 Fruit at 3.05 x 3.35 (I just cut them on white paper and colored them with pens!)  Turkey was 2.10 x 3.35 and I painted the platter with silver paint. Pie was 1.45 x 3.35 More silver paint for the pan and a few dots of red at the top of the pie because thats the yummy goodness peaking out. Table was from Camp out 6.75 x 4.06 Background pieces are off just because cards 2.87 x 4.06 and 3.20 x 4.53  Leaves were from Doodlecharm and the Title was Doodle Type at 1.25"

The other ladies are still going strong and blowing us all away with the following projects:

PDDU 8 Challenge (I guess?) LOL!

Hey all, its time to confuse the heck out of you. You know how we've been plugging away with the PDDU challenge? You know how all the ladies were turning in fantastic and inspiring projects? Well, leave it to me to screw it up! Ugh. I have no idea how it happened. Well I do. But... Anyways... I am back tracking back to PDDU 6 because apparently I missed one. I was using my Gypsy and the two "witches" or "sorcery" type ladies looked the same to me so I thought I'd done it. Go ahead. Look at page 51 and 55 and agree that they are alot alike. Not the extras. But the girls. LOL! So when working on a Gypsy and seeing those teeny icons I didn't catch it. I just thought. Oh, did the girl now I am on to magic man. My bad! Its all my fault. I should have been referring to the book. I just got so excited to have my Gypsy girl back, I jumped a little ahead! :) So please, forgive me while I jump back to catch up. Told you I was going to confuse you! SO here it is. Using accessorie 2 instead of the girl, I made a crystal ball type thing for a zoo invitation. Cut out at 3.5". it was super easy. I just plunked it on some DCWV paper and added stickers to complete. Easy peasy. A little too easy. But if you knew the kind of week I've had, you'd forgive me. I won't bother you with the details. Just know that I am a goon and carry on.






OH!!!! And check on the other ladies to see their scrumptious projects!

PPDU 7





Welcome to the magic show layout. It was super fun to create. I even got to use up some old stickers from stickabilities for the tickets etc. I didn't want the magician to wear his hat because I wanted that to set on the table so I used a tiny bit of liquid glass to give his chrome dome some shine. LOL! (Hey, I thought it was funny!) I used my Gypsy to create this layout. Finally got it back and running. Thank you God! I missed it. Not sure how to give you the sizes. the magician says he's 2.82 x 3.94. All the magical elements are from the paper doll dress up cartridge of course. But the table I snagged from the sweet hearts cart and was cut at 2.48x 2.76 . Balloons from lyrical letters. The sandwich for pictures or commentary are from lacy labels. I really hope you enjoy the layout. It was super fun to make. And hopefully you are seeing just how versatile this cartridge is! I should point out that the title "magic show" is a combobulation of fonts that I came across at a sale for $5.00. You know those clear containers with particians for holding floss or fishing stuff? Well, I got TWO of those containers filled with letters of all sorts for $5.00 total. It was a steal! I love it!!! Now, go check the other wonderful ladies I work with and give them some love!
