Once upon a Princess... (Giveaway)

Welcome to my blog!

Today I'm sharing a project I've created for the Click It With Cricut feature on the Imaginisce blog where we were given the task of using both the Imaginisce Enchanted collection and the Cricut cartridge 'Once Upon a Princess'.

Design team members Liz Qualman, Robyn Schaub and myself decided that we would have fun playing around with the paper dolls and drag out some of those long lost childhood memories. Who doesn't remember playing dress up with paper dolls and their super cute fashion wardrobe complete with fold over tabs to hold all the clothes in place. I sure loved my stash and wish I could have kept them so that my daughter might have shared in some of the joy that I used to gain from hours spent creating outfit after outfit.

I have wanted to create a hanging mobile for such a long time but never had the inspiration until now. So, I decided to go with a fairy castle, butterflies and four little princesses all in a row. And yes, it is all double sided, each and every piece... agggghhhh the hours of piecing this together but I'm glad I did. However, I won't be doing it again in a hurry! LOL!
