Gingerbread Girl

Tonight, I am going to an employee Christmas Party for a Waikiki hotel which happens to be one of my sweeties's accounts ( that's why we get to go) Everyone was given a gingerbread person shape to decorate for a contest. So, here's my entry, #53.

Ginger Girl has a beautiful tan thanks to some Bazzill cardstock. She was sweetened up with some White Scribbles paint icing all around her outline. Her cute dress has a bodice of Bazzill cardstock and a coordinating printed skirt courtesy of Doodlebug Designs. It is cinched at the waist with a sassy velvet bow made from American Crafts ribbons. Her Santa hat was found in the Christmas ornament aisles of Ben Franklin Crafts.

Her icing got a little messy and she got some under her chin. So, just like in the old T-shirt painting days, I needed something to cover it up. I thought, since it's a Christmas Party, why not hold a wreath? Her wreath was made by cutting off the branches from a tinsel pick spray. Twisted them together into the circle shape. Cut some berries off another pick and glued them on. Wrapped a flashing bulb necklace around for added bling!

I know you can't tell but she's actually quite large. The cut-outs they gave us  were over 12" tall. I don't care if I will win, I really just want to see what creative ideas other people do, that's the fun part!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend everybody!
