Hi friends, I have several new girls from this line but this one just sort of struck a chord with me tonight so here is my nod to Barbie. My mother worked at Mattel so you can image right? I still have my Barbie dolls, cases and most of the clothes (although I haven't looked in the cases for 20 some years, they could all be mouse eaten for all I know!
My mother's best friend in Texas made me a wedding dress for Barbie with veil and everything....I can't even imagine making something that fancy so small...she must have had a lot of patients!!
I stamped on the bg and stamped again on white card stock to color and cut out then glue to the image on the bg.
Thanks for looking!

Love this as a mom who made Barbie jeans complete with jeans seams. And what did those daughters do? Took the head off the dolls and buried them. SO much for the feminine side of them, huh? Love this image and love the background accented with a few sequins. If you have the original Barbie though, she's worth a fortune! Bless the friend that made the wedding dress though. I've always loved detail work- so deliciously mindless and time consuming.

Love those Unity girls and they seem to be perfect for this Barbie challenge. This one with the guitar is one of my favorites. Love the bg too.
