All of them have got some magic inside, memories of childhood, careless fun of playing with doll images…and they have their own personalities too!  Paper dolls are very inspiring – just look at the projects of our Design Team and think, what other possiblilities are in front of you?

This idea appeared long time ago. Mini art-journal based of the unnecessary book which I saved before discarding. I made the cover, using papers and embellishments from the two magical collection: Dreamer and Wonderland. Paper doll, I just drew on one of the sheets and colored. I sewed a lot and distressed, append buttons and other trinkets. I have fun with this, and papers from both collections are explicitly designed for such experiments!

Heidi:
What a fun inspiration this month! I’ve often thought of my girls, as my dolls, loving to playing dress-up with them, and even more so to create art with their precious faces and personalities. I think the “All I Ever” collection worked splendidly to create their patterned skirts, caps, banners, and such!
