We're celebrating Barbie's birthday today. She's 59. But this Peaches 'N Cream Barbie is only about 34. Barbies are my favorite! When I turned 6, my aunt brought me to the toy store to pick out anything I wanted. I chose Peaches 'N Cream Barbie. She was so glamorous, plus her dress was * almost* orange. As a teenager, my friend, Bridget, and I would sit in class coloring each other pictures in our Barbie coloring books. Of course, I usually gave my Barbies brown hair and hers would be blonde. Now I have to hold onto this card until August, so I can send it to Bridget.
I really wanted to scan a page from one of my Barbie coloring books, but they're still at my parents' house. So I found this coloring page online and I googled Peaches N Cream Barbie and decided to make her in her box. And since I have a peach stamp, I added some peaches to the background. I finished off with Stickles on her dress because the top of her dress was fabulously shiny and iridescent. I wish that I had used my glitter embossing powder instead. I also need to add some iridescent sequins here and there.

Love the design of your beautiful card, Jen, using the colours to match your pretty Peaches 'n Cream Barbie! I am the same age as Barbie and remember having 2, maybe 3 Barbies when I was young - my sister & I were very blessed to have a vast wardrobe for our dolls thanks to our Mum's great sewing skills!
