MFP January Blog Hop - Paper Dolls - Jan 7th

You have already seen some very creative ideas using the 3 new Paper Doll stamp sets during the Paper Doll Madness preview right here on the MFP a HC Blog and on Speedy TV. We continue with them for the first 3 days of the January Preview Hop.  Remember with our new format half of the design team will have photos of projects in this write up. The other half will have projects on their blogs. You must hop (list at bottom of post) and leave a message on each participating blog for a chance to win one of the new Paper Doll sets. Let's get started. 

  Preview Week Jan. 7, 8 & 9
Blog Hop Jan. 14, 15 & 16

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

Please hop along with us! You have a chance to win one of the above stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day for more chances to win! (You do NOT have to comment on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly!) All three winners will be announced on Jan. 18, 2014 on the Mark's Finest Papers blog. You can go back and comment if you missed a day. (HINT: The more you comment, the more chances you have to win and comments on the MFP blog count twice!) The deadline for commenting is 10 PM EST on Friday Jan. 17, 2014.

My target for this week's blog hop was to create 7 dolls and their outfits so I can put them away safely and donate them to the Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal later this year but I only completed 4 as you will see as the week progresses.  I hope you like this new set and have fun with it. 
Perhaps everyone's children and grandchildren can be persuaded to put the computers away for an hour or two!



 

This card was made by "doctoring" the stamped images to make an outfit that my niece might wear.  She formally takes over her class this week and begins her teaching career.
The sentiment was cut with my Cricut and the apple is from an older MFP set.
The clothes are coming this week in the "Out and About" set - I just did a merge of the two outfits in that set and then combined with today's paper doll.


ENJOY THE HOP
Here's the Design Team:
