Draculaura joins Clawdeen!

Here's another one of the Monster High girls! Meet  Draculaura!

She was also made using Teen Scene Paper Dolls and CCR. I definitely think I need to add the mouths!

In case you aren't familiar with the Monster High dolls, here's the 411:   The Monster High dolls are made by Mattel {notice some Barbie similarities} and are suppose to be the fashionable offspring of "famous" monsters. . .Clawdeen and Werewolf, Lagoona and Creature from the Black Lagoon, Cleo Del Nilo and the Mummy, Frankie and Frankenstein's monster and Draculaura and Dracula. apparently, there was/is a cartoon TV series, books and DVDs!

Here's a photo of the dolls from a google images search {this is not my photograph}:

Clawdeen from Monster High!

My daughter was past the "doll age" when the Monster High dolls came on the scene, but I was recently amazed at their popularity while looking through Halloween costumes at the stores. I have to admit, there was something about the dolls that intrigued me. . .and kinda made me wish my daughter had still been at the "doll age"! So, I decided to recreate them in paper! I used the Teen Scene Paper Doll cart in CCR and scissors as needed. Here's the first one I made. . .meet Clawdeen. . .

I still can't decide if I should add a mouth. Those Monster High girls have the cutest, pouty lips! So what do you think. . .add the lips or not?

Hippie Girl Paper Doll

A while back, I made this Hippie Girl for a card for a 70's themed party. This is a photo of the "test" doll I made and a screenshot from CCR. I used Teen Scene and Groovy Times Cricut carts. In CCR, I was able to size the dress from Groovy Times to fit the doll body from Teen Scene. The go-go boots are a pair of tights and a shoe, from Teen Scene, welded together. I hand cut the tights at the knee to make boots.

Someone asked for the .ccr file, so here it is:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here's a simple little goodie for St. Patrick's Day. . .a lucky penny! The shamrock is from Paper Doll Dress Up. I first used the Cricut markers to draw the image and then cut it out. A glue dot holds the penny in place.

Here are some tiny Leprechauns that I made into pins! I cut the pieces from Paper Doll Dress Up at 2 inches, glued them together and added a pin back. A cute way to wear the green!
