Ruffles, Ruffles, and more Ruffles...

... It seems I've got the sewing bug,lol. I've made Tillie another dress(number 3 actually) and I even sort of came up with this one myself. I got the basic layout from another Create Kids Couture pattern, but used different fabric and changed the measurements and came up with this...



... I know this isn't a full shot, but the ruffles go down to around her knees and that's it. I really liked this pic and started editing it first and my back can only take so much so I haven't gotten a full length one done yet. I did her hair really cool too when she wore this and people over it, so here's a shot of that...




...I found it on uTube and it's much easier to do than it looks.  

Ok, well that's all for me today. I'm not sure when I'm gonna be back with another paper craft probably at least a couple of weeks, as I keep on getting asked about her dresses so I've decided to try and make some for sale.  Since I was planning a yard sale in May I'm going to try and do them at the same time.  I will post more clothes as I get them done and I'm still having trouble with my etsy shop, so if you see anything you're interested in let me know, I'm looking into what else I can do.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Saying Goodbye to Southern Girls...

... and of course in it wouldn't be me if I didn't get my days messed up as this was supposed to go up yesterday, ugh...sometimes I wonder what's going on in that head of mine. Anyway, I've had a wonderful run with the lovely ladies over as Southern Girls but the time has come for me to say goodbye. To Tracy and Lou, thank you so very much for hanging with me for so long, it's been a pleasure working with such sweet ladies! If any of you ever has the chance to be on their DT, take it! I don't think I've been on a more understanding and supportive DT and quite frankly isn't that what this is all about. 

Well, I won't babble on for foever. The theme this week is: Fancy Folds and our wonderful sponsors are Delicious Doodles for NZ/Aus and The Paper Shelter for Int.

I got the pleasure of working with an image from Delicious Doodles and here's what I came up with...


With Mother's day fast approaching, I thought I would get a head start! 

and opened...


... there is a really great poem  I found on the left, I will write my sentiment in the middle, and the little section on the right is a pocket holding a magnetic bookmark...mom's an avid reader. I'm going to do more with that bookmark too, but my mom (hi mom), reads this and so I didn't want to reveal everything...hope you can understand.

Ok, so that's all from me...my apologies to the lovely ladies as SG for being a day late. If you haven't checked out their challenge yet please be sure to do so. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
