WHOOHOOOOOOOO...

I have some cute ideas to show you today.

And I have more cute ideas to show you tomorrow.

Basically - it's a cute-ideas-week all the way around.

The only problem is, where to start.

Hmmmm - I think I'll do this. {and selfishly, it's just to make it easy on myself!}

A couple of ideas today, a couple of ideas tomorrow, I leave town on Thursday, a post-dated Starting Blox post on Friday while I'm gone, and then a completely computer free weekend for me, while I'm out of town playing!

Sound fair? {tap, tap, tap - talk about it amongst yourselves!}

GOOD, I had hoped you would think that was cool. Thanks!

First up today, a card I made for my youngest nephew. {the only one in our family still young enough to trick-or-treat!}

supplies used: QK Rev Paper Doll, QK Rev Construction Worker, QK 2x2 Frankenstein, QK Rev Anime Speech Bubbles. I roughed up the edges of my patterned paper with a nail file, printed my sentiment on cardstock and lined it up with the Speech Bubble die. EASY!

For the inside of the card...

supplies used: QK Paper Doll font, QK Honeybee font, QK Chicken Noodle font, QK Trick-or-Treat and QK Mini Candy. Totally love how Honeybee and the new Paper Doll font look great together! {and Honeybee is an amazing price right now...WOOT WOOT!}

In fact, all of Scrapy Land's 2x2 dies are a smokin' hot dealio today! Check out the Frankenstein, the Trick-or-Treat bucket and the Candy Minis...BARGAIN CITY!

Next, I have a gorgeous page from Brenda. But today, we're going to call her Brenda - the Artist! Because look at what she did with all of her 2x2 shapes...

She cut them, dressed them, embellished them - even used photographs for some of the faces - and then put them all in a pair of hand! A pair of hands that she drew! Brenda made this for the class of children she teaches at her church. She used the NEW 2x2 Paper Dolls and the NEW 2x2 Bundle. I think each and every one of these children is absolutely precious!

The large globe was cut from the Going Places Cricut Cartridge and her title was cut from the QK Holiday font. She inked and chalked her pair of hands...for an entire effect that is outstanding! Thank you Brenda - I hope the kids in your class appreciate your finished project!

Two more cards for you today - from my QuicKutz Elves.

This fun little card could easily go to anyone on your "people I need to touch base with" list...

supplies used: NEW QK Rev Paper Doll, QK Cheer Uniform, QK 2x2 Speech Bubble and QK Oatmeal font and the QK Retro Square Embossing Folder. What a great use for this 3-part speech bubble. Especially this time of year! With high school football and the NFL in full-swing, why not send someone you love a cheer-y greeting!

And finally, for today, a fun twist on the paper doll dies. Simply because there aren't any paper dolls used at all!

supplies used: NEW QK Rev Paper Doll Outfits (boy) and Doll Outfits (girl), QK Paper Doll font and the QK 2x2 Bird. SUCH CUTENESS! And just to answer the question that I know is inevitable - for her little "clothes pins" she used the the "eye black" from the Football Uniform! I just love it when scrappers get inventive!

Good stuff from everyone today. I heard from a bunch of you yesterday - lots of excitement about ordering, dreaming an planning. Can't wait to see some of these paper dolls show up on your Starting Blox pages in the coming months!

Thanks to Brenda and my two QKEs {QuicKutz Elves!}...your creativity is appreciated and your ideas inspiring!

More tomorrow - a Starting Blox, another idea or two - and weekend plans! Any questions for the QKEs or comments to pass along - you know what to do. We LOVE hearing from all of you!

I'm here for your habit...

I love mixing old dies with the new ones. A little more bang for the buck!

All these ideas are wonderful! And I do like the mixing of dies Brenda. I was wondering today if the 50's poodle skirt would fit the paperdoll? Thanks girls.
