I woke up this morning... like at 2:30 this morning and picked up my Gypsy... and there it was in my head this card... so I laid it out to make today... then I work up again this morning at 7:30... and about an hour later I found out that this dear lady I know lost her mom... so this card is for her and her family... As many of you know I often pray for my cards.... and I have been praying each morning for a card... and I feel so much like my cards are a Gift from God... well this one... I especially feel that way about.... I hope that it brings this sweet lady a touch of comfort...thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

I really needed to create today.... it was a must... but I couldn't really concentrate... still have all the funeral things to do... but this doll reminded me of my MawMaw... so I decided even though this was a pretty simple card that I would do it in honor of her... Thank you for all the prayers...and for looking at my card. Hugs, Jeannie

Doll cut @ w 2.42 x 2.50.

I cut her 6 times so I could paper piece her..and she doesn't come in layers... there are two cuts in yellow for the layers of hair... 2 cuts in red for the dress and bow.... one in off white for the skin...and once in brown for the belt and the shoes... some of her peices are pop-dotted and some are just layered one on top of the other.

Storybook

Frames cut @ w 3.0 x h 2.0 and 3.25 x h 2.26.

I just duplicated the smaller one and tapped the enlarge button 3 times.

All other cuts are made with my paper trimmer.

Lots of brown in and chalk.Below is how my Gypsy screen looked just before I printed...I did delete my notes at the bottom left.... the square in the middles is saved and opened as a template so I can lay my images out in it for sizing... it is the size of an A2 card and does not print when opened as a template.

I have had lots of positive feedback from these shots...but a negative one or two comments also... so if they are helpful to you please let me know and I will keep posting them.

I hope you like it... it's a little different for me. ~~Hugs Jeannie

My son, John-Robert is RA Camp (Baptist Church Camp for boys) Co-Director this year... he started out as a camper at age 8, then a counselor at age 15, now look at him at 21 almost 22 ...I am really proud... anyway he text-ed me and said he needed a card for a lady that made the counselors a Berry Cobbler in a Dutch Over... and he wanted me to make one...he said that he knew I was busy with the wedding and they could buy one but that "you do a better job than a real card"... so I made him one... I needed to center myself anyway and cards are the best in the world for that!!... I hope the guys like it and so does the sweet lady... thank you so much for looking... I cherish your comments...I really really do!!... Hugs, Jeannie

Bear cut @ 3 1/2 inches ...(I think..forgot to right it down I was so excited).
I cut the bear three times... once on shadow blackout the other two on regular cut.... cut two full legs and two full arms and his head from the regular cut.... cut the body from the shadow blackout cut.,, and built the bear....this way I could pop dot each layer and I could also position the arms, legs and head any way I wanted them.
I used chalk, ink and sharpies to shade and highlight parts of the bear!!...I am so excited at how he turned out!!
