ABC Friday…
TGIF! Is everyone ready for the weekend? We have another birthday party to go to and some serious relaxin’ to do! I also have some serious stampin’ and publication submitting to do. I hope that all your plans include fun and sunny days. It’s a bright sunny day that inspired my colors for today’s project, in fact. I have been slightly addicted to this flower shape on the Noteworthy Slice Design Card. I love layering the colors and sizes and I have been playing around with some texture, too.
The dress form is from none other than the queen’s of all things alterable…GLUE ART & PAPER STUDIO. I used green gingham paper that I got at Hobby Lobby {Paper Studio brand} and polka dot Doodlebug Designs paper to cover it. The gorgeous green satin ribbon is from Taylored Expressions. I FINALLY played with some of the pom pom ribbon that I have bundles of! I just never think to use it, even though it is hot, hot, hot right now. I scalloped the edges of some SU! Pixie Pink cardstock and then adhered mini green rhinestones to the edge for a little added bling bling. I repeated that bling bling in the center of the each of the Prima flowers. Here is a detail shot…
Here’s a tip about covering alterables…
If you do not want to sand the edges, be sure to closely trace the shape onto your pattern paper. Then, cut the shape out with sharp scissors, adhere to the alterable and then {here’s the tip part} take your bone folder along the where the paper meets the edges for a smooth finish.
And, the Ellie pics I promised…
ADVENTURES WITH BUBBLES
The last one cracks me up! So much effort for bubbles! LOL! Have a great weekend! You know I’ll have another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY {winner announced, too!}.
Hi Jen,

Jen, this speaks to the girly in me… CUTE, great idea and now I am inspired to get my hand on one of those and do something similar for my mother-in-law who is an super seamstress

Oh, your altered dress is just beyond cute; thank you for the bone folder tip, it makes it look so polished on the edges - BEAUTIFUL!
Ellie is ADORABLE; I love the last pic too!!
I love it!!! And your daughter is so sweet!!!
Have a nice sunny day!
I’m ADDICTED to the paper studio gingham!!! I have at least three sheets of every color they have. I just ordered CHF’s gingham backgrounder so maybe my paper purchases won’t be as big!!
Super cute ABC project. I love the bright colors.
Ahhhh, just lovely Jen! What fun bright colors and love the pics of Ellie - what a doll!
very cute, I have one of these I need to alter too, like your pom pom fringe with the border!
