Lets have a little bit of fun for week 4. We are going to take our image and dress them up! You can do anything you like to fancy them up. How about changing their outfits? Get creative. Design something yourself or grab something that is already done for you like I did. Rebecca McMeen is the queen for designing kits that have this 'theme' already done for you. I'm excited to see what creativity you all come up with for this final week of February! Here is my lovely lady all ready to fly away from her current problems and start over fresh! You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, with or without a photo. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you. Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to March 1st, 2021 and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code". We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines).
I wanted my lady classy, so I used some tulle to decorate her dress, plus I added an earring, glasses and a cup, she looks fab! thank you so much for hosting and for all the fun.
I added a hat, removed the jabot, and gave her a doggy on a leash (yellow, to match the color of her door!).
Having already given her a crown, this week I gave my hockey lady a pair of ice skates and a wintry corsage:
I wrote the rest of the story, changed the background, added butterflies; and wings, some color to her dress, and flowers in her hair.
She's done! She's fun, she's sassy, and she doesn't follow trends. She knows who she is and is not ashamed of any hurdles she's overcome. She's who I'd like to be...and who I'm becoming... I added a hat, changed her pumps to tennies, and added a purse for her to carry.
I didn't find it possible to add much to dress her up. But I found this little spaceship and made a lapel pin of it, and gave her a container of popcorn to munch on while listening to the radio.
Oh boy was this a fun challenge! For everybody who wondered where Haruko was going next - she totally reinvented herself. Haruko is still under there - I didn't remove her - just "dressed her up and put a new face over hers. She said she had a whole little world of stories in her head and she decided to become "Margaret" named after the notorious "Princess Margaret" the "notorious one" she alludes to. Thanks for the super fun challenge!!
This was hard to do, same as last time, because the page was already so full of elements. I added earrings and a necklace from Rebecca.
