DIGITAL FREEBIE IMAGE......

I am sharing this digital collage with you to enjoy!  If you have a little girl who loves paper dolls and anything girly then these will go down a treat.  Imagine a string of pretty bunting flags in her bedroom draped across a window!  Have fun coming up with creative ways to use this image.

This second image is a set of gift tags that can be used in many ways.  Print off a number of these and play a game of SNAP with  your little girl or grandchild.  Above all have fun!

PAPER DOLLS TO MAKE YOU SMILE......

 I love vintage paper dolls and I am lucky enouugh to have a large collection of them.  Sad to say that after many years of play they are often in a poor state.  Many have missing hands and feet plus torn off heads.  I have been slowly working my way through them and giving them the restoration that they deserve.



I could not resist adding some of my favorites to some digital artwork.  Believe me when I tell you that I have spent many hours on these dolls repairing and enhancing them to how I would like to think they would look today if newly created.   I hope the girls like my choices for them!



I spent many hours on the face of this paper doll and really enhanced her best features.  There is a lot of work that has gone into the colouring, hair, eyes and cheeks.  I hope that they bring a smile to your face and take you back to when you played with paper dolls, thanks for stopping by!

These prints and more are now available in my Etsy store YOUR CRAFT EPHEMERA and you can find it by clicking HERE.
