The Paper Girls

Yesterday I said I'd show you the paper dolls I made for a Paper Cowgirl swap.  These girls are really hard to photograph and they are all rather…uh…one dimensional!  I used some Victorian greeting cards that I've had for years and really didn't like the cards but they were so expensive of course I couldn't throw them away.  So how great to finally find a use for them.  I have a lot of trouble making more than one of the same thing so this followed the pattern but still allowed me to just sort of grab what was in front of me!  The face was on one of the greeting cards and had really big hair and a giant hat so I got to give each one a different hair cut!  They didn't start out as any one style but when they were done this is how they looked to me! 

The twins are so excited to be featured for Pink Saturday.  They wore their prettiest pink floral dresses.  As you can see they don't get a lot of sun!

The Teachers must be British…they really dress up to go to work – I'm sure the one in the middle is Lady Di – if you get my drift!

Now -  these girls are French – they look like Degas ballerinas to me!

Their cousins…the French Canadians are always on the fly!

And this last sweet gal looks like she's one of the Jetsons crossed with a fairy!

At least I'll have pictures of them because nine of them are going to other people.  My granddaughter really wants to keep the last one so she'll probably come back  home with me.

Be sure to see one more "doll" – Beverly at How Sweet The Sound who hosts Pink Saturday each week.  Then you really must stop by LaVerne's Riverside Studios.  She killed two Coral snakes herself this week!  I'd say coral is a deadly shade of pink – wouldn't you????  xoxo Nancy
