mini me angel pattern

Here's the mini me angel pattern. You should be able to drag it over to your desktop, then resize it in your photo editor. It should be 8.5" x 11".



I'd love to see your angel doll! Cut it out in metal, redline tape and chipboard. Emboss the metal, paint it, sand it, alter it. Then use red-line tape to adhere it to chipboard. Use buttons and wire or brads for the joints. Just have fun with her!

Liz takes a class!

So, I hate to say it, but I am still totally new to videos and I'm sad to report that my camera wasn't on during the funniest part. I just wanted to cry when I found out part of the video is missing. Liz did one clip where her hair was so messed up and she was groaning and moaning.....but I think you get the idea! We really do know how to play when I go out to Scrapbook Your Life!!!

Now, don't fret....Liz did finish her doll before I left. And she did a fantastic job!

Her coloring (airbrush and alcohol inks), sanding, embossing with TenSeconds tools as well as cuttlebug embossing folders....

Swarovsky crystals on the joints, metal charms for the crown, 

Airbrushed charms on top of the metal....is this just too clever?  Plus, she dual-embossed the wings - half each with a different embossing folder.

And she used numerous plates throughout the body.

I do think Liz gets and A+ for her hard work!  Now, if you need a source for the tools and metal, just give the store a call!  They have a whole wall - I had so much fun shopping while I was teaching this class!

Thanks to all the gals who came to class and let me video them - such good sports!!!

We did this class twice and literally ran out of the TenSeconds Studio doll templates.  So I made a smaller template and added wings.  These students had to pick between a big doll without wings, or a small doll with wings.  Each one takes a full sheet of metal.  So I'm going to post my smaller template here - feel free to print it out, it should be sized a full 8.5 x 11".   OK, I will post it when I find it! LOL! I'm still not done unpacking and putting stuff away, so the hunt is on. Hopefully I'll find it in the next day or 2....I know it's here, I know I've seen it, I know I can find it......and I'm sure you never have a day like that, huh? :o)

My youngest student

Miss Sophia took my "mini me" doll class and I think she did just fabulous!!!




I wish we could all be 5 again. She had absolutely no inhibitions.....followed directions perfect, and absolutely had the time of her life playing!!! She picked out the embossing boards to use, the colors that I airbrushed on and the buttons. She arranged the "hair" and gave her doll "Rainbow" a Shamu necklace and a mermaid belt.

I do believe the rest of us had better watch out.....Sophia is likely to storm the creative world in a few years if she keeps this up!

Love you Miss Sophia!!!

Mini Mini Me

I have a little girl, Sophia, who is only 5 years old and she came and took one of my classes (look out crafters!!!) and she wants to do the Mini Me Class......so I made a mini mini me for her, with wings....this one one is only 10 1/2" tall. (The other Mini Me is 16" tall).

She has one shoe on and one shoe off!!!

And then I made this fun pendant using pewter and Ten Seconds Studio plates.....

And then a tiny little pin using ERA Graphics stamps:

We're using the new Adirondack Alcohol Ink Fillable Pens to recolor the metal.....I do love them!  And of course, as always, stickles to add some bling!

So, the pattern for the mini mini me doll with wings is my modification of the Ten Seconds Studio mini me doll and I can't wait for class because you will get a choice....you can do my version with wings.....or you can do the 16" doll without wings.  Each doll takes a full sheet of metal and a full sheet of red-line (super) tape.  I absolutely LOVE giving women choices....it drives them nuts!!!

My Mini Me

We've just added a totally fun class!!! OK, we're going to do this twice.....but I truly love her!!!



You can check the class detail's out on the store blog.



I think she looks too much like what I think is inside my head! LOLOL!



And, do you "get" the blue "hair"....old lady me? Just makes me laugh.



I think I should have lowered her glasses and made them look like readers. Sure wish you were all here to play - this is truly a totally fun class!!!
