Another Paper Doll Party , and fun was had by all!

Good Morning Calamities!
I don't know about you, but I had a really nice and relaxing weekend!
Saturday I made chicken enchiladas and we watched a marathon of CSI that was saved in the DVR. Then yesterday some friends came over and we had another paper doll party!

We used some Catherine Moore stamps and some templates for mermaids found

here at The Enchanted Gallery.

She has 3 different templates that are free and usable with her angel policy.

You can sell items made with her stamps and templates but you may not sell her stamps and it's nice to give credit for the source if you do use the templates.

The face used for the mermaid is from her sheet of rubber unmounted stamps that Laura had purchased. She found the Enchanted Gallery by Googling mermaid stamp. I need to read the wealth of information she shares about stamping on dominoes and making buttons with her molds. If you have a minute to browse her site for the images of the finished buttons made with her push molds ~ it's worth the time.

Beautiful is the only word to describe them. I want them all! Next I'll be making buttons for heaven's sake! Where does it all end??

I am in love with all of the stamps and molds created by Kimberly Crick. I must finish some more aprons to make some stamp money!

The umbrella is one of Catherine Moore's stamps. I didn't even use the newest ones I bought recently. I still have everything out though.

Like some of my stamps and paper.

In fact Fred will be eating on the sofa or at his desk until I get the Craft Bomb

that exploded off the dining room table.

Thank goodness he is so patient with me!

It's messier than fabric I think, to cut paper.

I can't seem to do both in the same day, either. It's one or the other.

I did get the bird paper doll set from Invoke Arts.
 It came unmounted and Laura shared her supplies to adhere foam and then we tried some re-tack glue stuff and mine worked fine until I washed the ink from the stamps and the rubber separated from the foam and then the foam wouldn't come off the acrylic stamp block. Oh, the calamity!
Don't your fingers itch to get in there and start cutting and embossing and punching holes?
I am really in love with these paper dolls and it is so much fun.
First paper doll parties I ever had in my whole life! It's never too late to have a happy childhood!
Next time I'm making cupcakes! Hear that girls? How about Carrot cake cupcakes? Or maybe the s'mores cupcakes? what's your preference?
 I am making her into a wearable by adding a pin back.

Ain't she cute?

Do any of y'all want some calamity seeds? Should I do some for the Etsy shop?

All right, I have to git!

I really need to finish Deb's apron! I'll condense all the paper doll stuff down to one small 4' table and maybe sneak over later and make some more girls.

Or Moore Girls. get it?

Oh, I crack myself up!

Have a Happy Monday!

Love & Stitches,

Calamity Kim
