Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.'s Paper Dolls







Oh my gosh, check out these totally adorable paper doll sets that Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. is releasing this month!!  The possibilities are endless - and the Design Team members from MFP will be showing you how they have used this wonderful set over the next several days!

Please check out the MFP challenge blog daily for ideas how to use this fun set!!  One of the things I will be doing is stamping off the images and dropping them off at the Pediatric Unit at one of the hospitals in Springfield for the kids to color and play with.

For my examples, I made a shopping diary with just a few of the outfits.  Let your imagination take over!
