My mom got some dolls and made adorable outfits for them, turning them into Pocahontas and Tinkerbell. So adorable. I never appreciated stuff like this when I was a kid - I just wanted the one from the store. But now I think it's just darling. I had been eyeing Wendy and Tinkerbell on eBay, and lamenting that I couldn't find Tiger Lilly. Maybe I just need to make my own. Here's Tink.

It's almost February and you know what that means! It's time to get ready for Valentine's Day with cards, coupon books, and other hand-made goodness!
Dianne created this great Valentine's Day card using the lamp stamp from the Fairytale Limited Edition Kit!
Philippa created these gorgeous cards using brand new OBP stamps that will be part of February's A La Tarte kit from Lime Tart!
You can get also get the stamps at the OBP store, but you might want to hurry since I have a feeling they'll magically fly right out!
The new stamps are Kelly's Sleeping Fairy Right and Kelly's Fairy Flowers. "How Fairy Thoughtful" is the perfect sentiment to go with them!
Two of Laura O'Donnell's OBP cards were just published in Just Weddings!
This card features one of the stamps from the Ladies Dancing, Limited Edition kit, which is available in two versions, Bright and Vintage.
We spent the day at Uncle Tim's. Last time, we played Peter Pan. This time, it was Star Wars. Jake took all his Star Wars figures over there. He called them Star Wars "Action Fingers," because he loved the Upside Down Show, especially the part with the Action Fingers. And so he doesn't differentiate between Action Fingers and Action Figures. My paternal grandmother did this all the time - there must be a name for it? Things like, Indiana Jones is always Indiana Jonas Brothers, which always makes me think about that Jeopardy category "Before and After." Anyway, I digress. Uncle Tim got out his stash of Star Wars figures from the 1970s, and Jake had some serious toy envy. He was very lucky that Uncle Tim let him have a Greedo, and confessed that of the two that he'd been hoarding all these years, one of them was actually mine. The rest of the night, Jake obsessed about what would happen to Uncle Tim's collection if he didn't want it anymore, and maybe he might give it to Jake. But that's highly unlikely since Uncle Tim has his own son to bequeath his toy legacy to. Here's Jake, practically drooling over the box of goodies. Fun times!
Since it's the Year of the Ox and oxen are members of the bovine family, why not make a "Moo" card featuring one of the OBP cows?
If you do make one, please be sure to share it in the OBP Forum/Gallery! I'd love to see it!
Emilia did exactly that. Here's her super-cute "Moo Year" card featuring Pot Belly Cow Right, Polka Dot Cow Left, Cathrine's Berry Branch, Cathrine's Berry Corner Right, "Happy New Year" (Whimsy), and "What's Moo?".
This afternoon's OBP DT spotlight shines on Alex, who created this cheerful card using Kelly's Lightning Bug Left, Jar, Flower Shadow, and "In a Jam".
