1/25/2015 Grace Thomas is my newest American Girl doll this is her 4 x 6 name tag. Grace came out 1/1 of this year and I ordered her on Day 1. I got a sneak peak at her the day before when my new catalog arrived it truly was love at first sight. Grace is from the Boston area and she has to go to Paris for the summer 5 weeks. When I made the tag Ill be honest its 100% for me and I had fun making it I went to IStock photo - I knew I needed a spectacular shot of the Eiffel tower I had 4 credits to play with 2 photos this one was at sunrise in the spring. I took Grace outside yesterday it was sunny and very cold and I took a picture of her from ground level . Fyi Shes 18 tall. I extracted Grace via a layer mask she actually is 3 layers her charm bracelet has the poster edge filter applied to place a bit of a shadow on the charms, 1 layer is paint daubs and the original layer is still there if I want to use it again. The photo is 2 layers 1 for the pink sky and the other for the Eiffel tower. I added her name the font is Jellyka Saint-Andrews Queen and I let it sit overnight . This morning it needed art so I went to my stash in the story Grace takes the photos so In my mind I figure she scrapbooks them when she gets homeI added the July Juliet from the OScraps Collab kit Parisian holiday bought that a while ago who knew it would take me this long to get a chance to play with itit needed art strokes so I went to my artsy kard stashes I used the sun fun 4 x 6 and added the transfer and the skinny lines I used a few more but in the end I turned the layers off and called it done. The Sun Fun Artsy kards are retired now but not to worry the APP Sun Fun is still in the store and I just added it to my wish list!!!!
Wonderful story Debbie, I still have all our American dolls that we got for Melissa (and me) showcased in one of our central libraries in the center of our home. My daughter does not want to have them around so they were out of my daughter room in a rush but I kept them as I could not be taken apart from them.
I love the journaling you did and the LO is perfect for her, She will love Paris I am sure. Ann
Another beautiful doll for your collection. I love the shadow on the charms and the soft colors and brushwork in the background. I also love the shot of the Eiffel Tower.
