Paper Doll Portraits

While waiting at the Salon where I get beautified. I was flipping through a magazine. It was a design magazine I've never seen before and to be honest, I can't remember the name of. It was mostly modern design which I appreciate, but don't necessarily use to in my home. I did however find a clever idea within the pages of this publication. They had taken an antique picture of a little girl and used different trims and fabrics to dress her up. I thought to myself this was the perfect excuse to play with paper dolls,
and so I did.
I googled the word paper doll and found an Image I liked, Saved it to my computer and Printed it onto card stock,
Played dress up
Glued them onto some cute scrapbook paper and Framed them.
I know the perfect spot for them in my Daughter's Nursery.

What a wickedly awesome idea! Love it & I am sure your daughter will too. I will probably copy this idea somewhere down the road for my granddaugher Jessica. Kudos to you!

I have some vintage barbie paper dolls from when I was a child that I haven't had the heart to part with yet. Now, I know what to do!

I need a daughter to craft for. But a third pregnancy just sounds exhausting...

Thanks for sharing this with my readers at Creative Juice Thursday!

The Pink outfit is most definitely made out of ribbon. So glad you liked it!
