Playing with Paperdolls

It’s hard to believe Christmas is over already, isn’t it?!  I’m still finishing putting away all of my Christmas things--far-flung all over my house--and yet…

…I just couldn’t resist playing with a couple of vintage-inspired Valentines the other day!

Using vintage elements, papers & paper dolls I had on hand—and an adorable little bucket courtesy of the dollar section at Target—I had them finished in no time…easy peasy!

Just a bit of fun—waiting to be given to a couple of special someones……it’s always nice to have little surprises ready ahead of time!

Wishing you lots of love & creative joy this week!

    Valentines are so fun to make. Playing with paper-dolls was one of my favorite pastimes as a little girl! My imagination was great fun.

    Cute as always Julie! Love all that you do. Can you believe that they already have Easter stuff in the shops? I saw Easter Eggs before Christmas this year. Terrible! Love and hugs to you on a cold and wet British Day. (The norm this year!) xxoo

    So sweet, Julie! I always have plans to have things done ahead of time but somehow always get sidetracked with everything else I want to do. :) Have a wonderful week! Tammy
