LaBelle's windows at Valentine's day...





The windows for LaBelle's boutique in the doll town are done in pink and red and the shoppers are dressed in pink, rose red, black and it's all about the color of love.... Some of my lovelies are shopping and I wanted them all to match. Ever watch TV and wonder on some of these shows how they get the actress, the star, to just stand out from everybody else and it dawns on you, she's wearing a white dress while everyone else is wearing blue, black or some other drab color and her hair is angel blonde ??? Like, even the architecture is stone washed so it doesn't clash with the color of her eyes? That has always amazed me. I think it is wonders what photo shop can do, snicker. Especially in film, it draws our eyes and emotions even more to the storyline. So with these photos I tried to get the colors to tone and see if that played together just right. In the first photos, I made all of the French pastries, the St. Honore, the Religious pastries on the plate, the three tiered pink cake, I wanted to do a chocolate theme but it did not turn out like I wanted to, so I went with a pink theme which matched the clothing I had on hand. The chair and table are Bespaq. In the other window, I made the dress on the Barbie basics model, the end table is also Bespaq. The little felt hearts were so hard to find, they were at ACMoore. Nothing in the way of decoration fit and this is why it was so hard to decorate in a timely manner the way I wished. 

I hope to do some more 'romantic' type of scenes with the guys and have them up by tomorrow here. The cottage interior walls got more coats of white paint which I had to go out and pick up in my travels as I ran out. Won't bore you with more photos on the Extreme Kitbash until further along with more to see.




Hope you enjoyed the photos, and Happy Valentine's day!

Scooby-Doo and the Gang!

One of the great things about doll and action figure collecting is we can make our favorite superheroes, cartoon characters, come to life. And Mattel helps us every now and then, and hits it on the mark.

After coming home from the Fashion Royalty convention, I had a doll, yes, a Poppy- specifically, Starlight Poppy- who I knew would be the PERFECT Daphne I had been looking for. I had always wanted to get the Mattel scooby-doo gang, so when I came home I immediately won a Shaggy with no shoes, and a lot including two Scoobys, various accessories, and a fully dressed Velma and a somewhat played with Daphne. All I wanted was her outfit. This one was not the first Daphne but the one with the pink trenchcoat.

Fred is going to be my Color Infusion Ace McFLY and I will probably have to make his outfit. The Mattel Fred doesn't do it for me, and the cartoon Fred had really puffy hair. Here are some pics of the gang so far.










Since Daphne's outfit is a little loud, I need to find that green scarf she wears, as well as some pink tights. The little pink glasses came in the lot today. Shaggy wears some earth sandals from a Ken outfit. I was really lucky to get all of these dolls, the two scoobys(the other one is an older version and not as nice as the one I took pics of) and their flashlights, cell phones and scooby snacks for less than $29 on ebay. More pics up later!
