2012 Valentines Day Doll Photo Contest!

With Valentines Day just around the corner, I decided to host my first Valentines Day Doll Photo Contest! (I plan to make this an annual event!) :)

To enter, please read the directions below. :)

About the Contest:

Submit one photo of your doll/s celebrating Valentines Day! (They do not have to be American Girl dolls.)They could be making Valentines Day cards, decorating cookies, having a party... be creative! :) Email your photos to agfan2010@aol.com along with your name/nickname and the names of your dolls by Friday, February 3. The pictures will be posted on Saturday, February 4, along with the winners!)  That gives you all a little over a week.

Judging:

Your pictures will mainly be judged on creativity, the lighting, the background, and how your doll looks. (Your doll's hair should be fixed and she should look neat, etc.) (See tips below.)

Tips:

1.) Dress your dolls in Valentines Day colors!

2.) Take the picture from different angles and choose which one you like best.

3.) Make sure the lighting is good.

4.) Photo editing is allowed and encouraged.

Prizes:

There will be two winners for this contest! The grand prize/first place winner will receive the cute doll sized box full of valentines below and a custom made blog signature for FREE! The second place winner will receive a custom made blog signature for FREE! All participants will receive an award for their blog as well.

I hope you can enter my contest! Feel free to email me/comment with any questions. Please tell your friends about my contest too!

Doll Fun Special # 6: Mini Magazine Holder for Dolls!

Do your dolls like to read miniature American Girl magazines? Have you ever needed a place to put all those tiny magazines?

Here is a simple craft, in which you can make your very own mini magazine holder for your doll/s! :)

Materials: You will need a mini cereal box, some pretty wrapping paper/colored paper, scissors, and glue!

Directions: Begin, by cutting the thin side vertically and then cutting the front diagonally. Afterwards, cut wrapping paper and glue it to your holder! Then put your doll's magazines inside! And there you have it... a perfect mini magazine holder!

Check back soon for the February Doll Fun Special! (I am so sorry the January one was so late.)

Charlotte in the Snow!

The snow is just beautiful, so I had to take a few photos of Charlotte outside!


Her outfit is perfect for winter!

Making snow angels!

 



Did you get any snow? We got a little, but it was mostly ice. I hope we get more soon!
