Everyday Paper Dolls Rocker

Should a grown woman have this much fun playing with paper dolls??  I think so!!  This paper doll is particular was made prior to the arrival of my peachy keen face stamps.  I like the later ones so much better, but I'm determined to use up my stash of characters.  The sentiment is adorable, love those kiddo sayings!  The paper doll was cut at 3 inches.

By Lori Designs

 Today I'm going to do a different type of posting.  I'm going to show multiple cards using the same digi.  This digi image is from By Lori Designs. 

 

The green strip is embossed with the cuttlebug.  The image was cut using a nestabilities, the sentiment is a stamp.  I inked the edges.

 

This digi was also cut out with a nestabilities.  The background pink was embossed with the cuttlebug.  I like the green and pink combo in the umbrella! 

 She loves different umbrella colors! =)  (or maybe it's me that loves them. LOL)
