I found it in my mailbox on Thursday and skimmed through it right away, while the kids worked on their homework. Then on Saturday, I had a chance to go through it more slowly, reading articles, delighting in seeing so many first-time-published artists - congrats to you all!
In addition to my Leave Your Legacy (LYL) challenge layout (challenge to be posted on Friday, Mar 1st!), I also had another layout published - one that I completed at CropFest in Cambridge.
Wow - that's a huge supply list for one teeny little photo! Ha ha!
I knew I wanted some sort of dress form on this layout and I have several dress form cut files, but as I was at a crop, I had to improvise.
Which means shop.
The on-site store had a few packs of these adorable chipboard and cardboard dress forms in various sizes, by Basically Bare. I covered mine with paper and decorated with the beautiful Melissa Frances trim - perfect for a skirt! The waist trim is vintage lace that I dyed by adding a few drops from a reinker to a Ziploc baggie and smooshed it around until it was all coloured.
Here are some more detailed shots:
Journaling (under photo) reads:
Having two sisters who were significantly older than me meant that I was constantly being dressed up, paraded about and photographed. Must be why I love dressing up my own daughter! :)Cheers,
P/S: Don't forget about the following challenge on my blog for a chance to win:
