Craft Room Challenge #2 - Altered Paper Dolls

This is a first for me!  I have never made a doll of any sort before and it certainly got me thinking!  I used a free template from Mirkwood Designs and altered the size as the original measures 11".  Graphics Fairy supplied the boots, hairstyle and bodice.  Her hair is courtesy of my sheep Jeffrey and the ivy stamping is from a stamp by Flowersoft.

Thanks for the challenge - I enjoyed doing something totally different.  Do feel free to leave a comment, I should like to know what you think!
