Scrappin' Saturday XIV

Welcome to Scrappin' Saturday - take a peek into the pages of my scrapbooks, and learn how I made them.

This is part of a two page spread of things I've made for my 18" doll.
Background Paper: A solid colored sheet of paper.
Border:I used Spellbinders Borderablilities Classic Lace Border.
Letters: The letters spell out my doll's name, Katrina. The first letter is a chipboard letter, and the rest are from different colors of paper using the Red Tag Sale Alphabet set by Cuttlebug.
Photos: The photos were cropped to the size I wanted, then I used Fiskars 4-in-1 Corner Punch, Glory on the corners. The punch embosses as well as cuts the corners. The embossing doesn't really show up, but I mostly wanted it to shape the corners.
Die Cuts: For my journals, I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Two. I cut the same shape out of two separate papers, then glued them down with one on it's side, and one right side up.
Projects Pictured: Doll Clothes (Some of the pictures are in the Flickr Slideshow at the end of the post.) Also, the outfit Mom made for Katrina.

Doll Clothes

I was organizing my sewing space a couple days ago, and found this doll's blouse that needed snaps and buttons. The skirt had been made eons ago, as well as the blouse. So, here is Katrina modeling her newest outfit:

The pattern is Simplicity 8654, one size, view D. The skirt was very simple to make. I did have some trouble with the blouse, although I don't remember exactly with what. I would advise reading the directions for the collar carefully, since I managed to mess it up pretty grandly.

I wanted to share another outfit, but your browsers would probably never load. I've created a photo album at Flickr, with some of my notes about the patterns in the descriptions. Just click 'show info' on the sildeshow page.
