Ok, I just couldn't wait until tomorrow! I finished my magnet project and I think it rocks! I've been playing with it for about an hour now... I know, I know, but it's fun. I borrowed a couple of Bombshell sets from a very good friend of mine and when I saw the Butterfly Queen set in person, dress-up dolls was the first thing I thought to make. Maybe it was all the influence of the consignment and antique stores that I've visited lately; they have some pretty cool looking vintage paper dolls. But I wanted mine to last a while and be visible, so that's why I chose to make them into magnets.
All of the pieces are made on scrap paper and colored with prismacolor pencils. I stamped the queen first, then traced her and drew templates for the clothes. The frame uses both a Bombshell stamp and a stamp from a set that I got at AC Moore. The sparkly bling is glitter glue. I cut out all the pieces and ran them through my xyron with the laminate/magnet roll, cut them out again, and voila! Dress-Up Magnets! I think these would be great in a little flip-open decorated tin. If I make one, I will definitely share pics! Let me know what you all think of these...

...as an afterthought, wouldn't it be great to make little tattoos for her? A project for another day!
