Well, I spent way too much time looking at all the Barbies, lol. I was inspired by THIS Barbie with her light blue dress surrounded by all the colorful purses.
My sis & I had Barbies & my favorite one had long red hair. We didn't have all the fancy outfits these dolls have, but every year for Christmas, our aunt Sandy would make us new Barbie outfits. I loved those the best! I kept that Barbie & her outfits & let my DD play with her. Apparently Barbie joined the Marines during this time & now sports a high & tight haircut.
Anyway, After die cutting the lt blue lattice paper, the white doily & white lacey square, I stamped and die cut about a bajillion butterflies on some polka dot papers then folded the wings upward & attached them around the doily. I added a blue center for the doily & a big polka dot button.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

WOW Julie this is amazing!! What a creative card! I guess I missed seeing that one with all the purses...too many to look at! Kudos to your aunt for making all those clothes..I've made many a Barbie outfit and they are a pain to make...small armholes, all those snaps..yikes!

GORGEOUS design! Absolutely wonderful take on the inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story too! That's amazing that your aunt could make your dolls clothes (she probably did it without a pattern), what a seamstress and a treasure you have with those memories!
