As you can see, I've been playing with the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls, and I've been doing my usual thing of listening in to what they want to say to me. I've combined the dolls with some of my PaperArtsy Eclectica quote stamps and some Seth Apter paint colours, so if you want to hear them talk, do pop over and check out the trio of tags I've made.
Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you again soon.
It is an anxious, sometimes a dangerous thing to be a doll. Dolls cannot choose; they can only be chosen; they cannot 'do'; they can only be done by.

ReplyDeleteAlison, I so enjoy reading your posts, and yours on PA is ALL YOU! So fun to read that I am not the only one whose Paper Dolls speak to them! Your painty backgrounds on these tags are gorgeous--loves those colors and just the perfect touch of florals.
