Blondie 1941
















Here is a cut set (some outfits partially cut) of Blondie from 1941.  This set includes 4 dolls, clothing, and accessories.  I do not know if this set is complete, it may be missing some pieces.

Jane Arden

Here is a Jane Arden's Wardrobe from 4-19-1942.  She comes with four outfits and a hat.  I really love the apron.  This is a newspaper sheet and does include the comic, but due to it's fragility I've only scanned the paper doll.

Barbie Coloring Book Paper Dolls


OK, so using some of the art from the Barbie Coloring Book previously posted, I decided to make some paper dolls.  The first doll has two outfits and a pair of shoes.  The second doll has four outfits and two pairs of shoes.  Each doll is colored in photoshop.  The bases are from the Barbie Outdoor Adventure Coloring Book by Marrigold Press.  The top doll needs slits cut on the black lines to fit the tabs on the doll.  I have not tested these dolls to see if all the outfits fit properly.  I may do some more coloring book paper dolls in the future.

Barbie coloring pages part 2

















Part Two of a Barbie coloring book Barbie Outdoor Adventure from Merrigold Press 1998.  I will post a project I worked on using this book next post.  Not all the pages were scanned.  I fixed the color in Photoshop to make the pages less cream colored.

Dolly Dingle and Pooch


first off, let me say... Happy Easter!  Here is a lovely Dolly Dingle from April 1933 drawn by Grace G Drayton.  I am missing one outfit for this set.  Included are 4 cut outfits, 1 hat, 1 dog and 1 doll.  I love the face on this doll as well as her pose.  The primary colors used are pink/red and green.  I noticed with many older Dolly Dingle paper dolls, only two colors are prominent.

Easter Doll

the small side tabs are actually not needed

Hello all.  I am so surprised how fast this year is going!  Sunday is Easter! I decided to use a cute sewing pattern from McCalls as the base for a doll.  She has 10 Easter dresses.  I  noticed when cutting out this doll that the small side tabs are not needed.  I will edit them out in the future and adjust some of the colors so that they print better.  I used a font Easter Art

Barbie Coloring Pages Part 1














Here is something different.  I found a Barbie Coloring Book in the library's book store and picked it up.  Here are some scans.  The scans have been whitened.  The book is called Barbie Outdoor Adventure from Merrigold Press 1998.  I did not scan all of the pages but I do have more to post along with a fun project which I will put up in a few days.
