Unstampabelles Challenge #26 - Paper Dress



Hi ho, everyone, yes I am back for a brief post.  Our renos are moving along very nicely now and fingers crossed we are home next weekend.  Renos not finished but less travel. :-)

Onto this post our challenge this month at Unstampabelles is 'Paper Dress'  I was checking out Pinterest for inspiration and I found it.  The link led me here (DeAnn's blog) to a wonderful cream dress made of mini cupcake liners.  I just had to have a try and this is what I come up with.  Pink mini cupcake liners, and the bodice and body form cut with scissors.

This month we have a wonderful prize pack on offer from Sticker Store.


So come on over to Unstampabelles and join in the fun.

I am sure that next week I will be back on here a little more.  Can't wait.  See you then.

    That is way cool, Merry! Never would have though of using cupcake liners. I made some attempts for this challenge once with a doily and once with tissue paper....let's just say it didn't work out. :-)

    Very cute dress made from cupcake liners. I've made flowers on a bulletin board with the liners too and at Father's day, the church's gift to the dad's had "award ribbons" made from them.

This month's Unstampabelles Challenge is my final challenge.  I have decided it is time to move on as our kids have finished school now and I have a feeling that 2014 will be full of unexpected surprises.  So just downsizing on some commitments.  The wonderful and terrific Susan of ' Time to Play ' has put her hand up to take on the challenges.  Susan said she will keep the same format but just add a new twist…..so keep your eye out. We are also saying farewell to Lauren who has been a wonderful support and given us terrific inspiration with all here scrap pages.  And Cathy who has been with Unstampabelles since the very beginning and helped me to no end.  Cathy was always there to help putting a post together when I ran out of time or was busy holidaying somewhere.  Thanks so much to both of these ladies. So for December we have made it easy on you as all we are looking for are Christmas paper crafts with no stamps used (rubber or digital)...
