So, now that I have Everyday Paper Dolls I am having entirely too much fun! Here is another layout that I made this week. Of course, I had to make the crawling baby as I have been dying to have a baby paper doll besides baby Jesus! I can't wait to try out the sitting one!

To create this layout I used Cricut Design Studio, The Cricut Expression, the 12 x 24 Cricut Mat, Paper Doll Dress Up, Everyday Paper Dolls, Plantin Schoolbook and Cuttin' Up!

Ok, So most of you know that I was given Everyday Paper Dolls the night of the Gypsy Gala. What most of you might not know is that I was asked to create a layout with it to bring with me the next day to display at the Provo Craft Booth. Here is what I came up with once we got to the hotel that night. I had so much fun playing.

If you look closely, you will even see my CHA badge with my name and the

words Retailer under my name.

This layout was created using Cricut Design Studio, Cricut Expression, Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge, Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge, Cuttin' Up Cricut Cartridge, American Craft Cardstocks, Prism Cardstocks, Copic Ciao Markers, Sakura Clear Star Gel Pen, Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Adhesive Glue, Uniball Signo UM-153 White and Black Gel Pens and Part of the CHA magazine for the name badge.

One has 20 people participating and the other has 21 people participating. There was a 6 month commitment to join so we will end up with 120 recipes once all is said and done for the first swap and 141 recipes in the second swap! I am so excited and wanted to share my layouts with you!

Paper Doll Dress Up Story Book Swap #4

So call me crazy if you want too but, I decided to join a Story Book Paper Doll Swap! And did I join one swap? NO, I decided to join 2 of them! The requirements were to make all of the elements for 30 layouts and mail them to our hostess! Below are the 2 swaps that I made. I cannot wait until my swaps are mailed back to me! I know this sounds stupid, but I really struggled creating these layouts without using my design studio to weld the whole layout! Let me know what you think of them!


The first one is Stanley by Syd Hoff.

The second one is Raggedy Anne

Another Layout option for Raggedy Anne!
