Out of the Shadows (sort-of and briefly)

After a year on the Cricut messageboard, I finally decided it was time to post a project. I chose my magnetic princess doll set (see earlier post) because, frankly, it was the most convenient at the time and I was feeling lazy. I was totally shocked to find it had been mentioned in the Cricut newsletter, Cricut Chirp. http://www.cricut.com/newsletters/volume.aspx?ID=227 (Yes, you will need to scroll waaaaay down near the bottom--it wasn't that special!)

Is this my fifteen minutes of fame (on a really, really small scale)??? Hey, I'm not complaining! At least I no longer feel like Bruce Willis' character in The Sixth Sense.

Once Upon a Princess Magnetic Paperdoll

When I started this blog, the main purpose was to post some of my crafty creations. However, if you read the disclaimer on the sidebar, I really only collect crafting supplies. There isn't much "creating" going on. But I just had to have this adorable Cricut cartridge! And since I'm too old to play with dolls (at least when others are around), I made this paperdoll set for my youngest granddaughter. I used my Xyron to laminate and add the magnetic backing to these pieces. Unfortunately, the magnets aren't strong enough to keep the clothing in place. But I don't really think that will be a problem; Nana had more fun making these than granddaughter will ever have playing with them!
