One World One Heart Give Away 2010. #1040. Valentine Hottie VS Garden Party Tottie.
COMMENT ENTRIES FOR GIVEAWAY NOW OVER - SORRY!
Hello lovely Bloggers from around the world.
I am joining in the magic carpet ride and give away event for the first time this year.
The Event
Lisa Swifka from A whimsical Bohemian blog created the event in 2007, you can find out more or join in here
The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. To interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.
Who am I?
Myself and my sidekick Spanky make things out of Shiny, Paper, Paint and Glue to entertain ourselves and then sometimes blog about it and participate in internet based crafting challenges.
How to win my One World One Heart Giveaway
1. Anyone in any country with a blog can enter.
2. Leave a comment on this post, please only one comment per person.
3. Please be sure your comment takes me back to you, or if not leave an email address where you can be reached.
4. On 15th February one random winner will be drawn from the comments left using The random number generator
(But I think his real name is Bob the Cheese.)
5. The winner will be notified by email and the winner announced on this blog on 15th February.
6. The Prize will be posted to you wherever you are!
My giveaway.
Valentine Hottie VS Garden Party Tottie.
I was inspired by fabulous Sue Roddis's Art Doll feature in the latest issue of Craft Stamper magazine March 2010, page 50.
I usually make my paper dolls relatively realistic, but her ideas were very abstract, quirky and seriously fun ...so thought I would give it a try.
This has got to be the maddest thing I've made yet and I hope you like her.
Seeing as it is nearly Valentine's Day, I thought I would challenge Spanky to see who could make Julia (who has got to be the most famous face in rubber stamp land) THE OUTFIT in which she is most likely to pull (attract a hot date).
This paper doll has a front and a back.
We each got to design one side.
There was some serious Argy Bargy over the scissors I can tell you.
This is my design.
Garden Party Tottie.
She's 13 inches tall.
You can click on her to make her bigger.
Spanky says Julia will never pull a man in my outfit; maybe a pony called Dobbin in a Local Gymkhana, but a man? No.
And I thought wings were a sure fire winner. I mean even an A list celebrity can't compete with wings can they? Well anyway, I always was rubbish at dating.
This is Spanky's design on the reverse.
Valentine Hottie.
You can also click on her to make her bigger.
Now; I'm not a man, obviously, but I think all Julia will get out of Spanky's outfit is a rather irritating rash from all that scratchy lace, unless of course, the black lace is really a body tattoo and all she's wearing is a bra and posing pouch, but like I said I never was any good at dating.
So what do you think?
Who is Julia most likely to pull?
1. Maybe Nodding Neddy from Boy Band - Pony Power?
2. Nathan Kamp from probably every Romance Book Cover in the last 5 years?
(Not that I'm complaining mind you.)
or
3. Albert Steptoe from Steptoe and Son?
Maybe you think she's in with a chance with someone else this Valentine's Day?
If so, please leave your nomination with your comment, although any comment will enter you in the giveaway. (You can just tell me you love me if you want, yes, that would be you Mum.)
Thank you for visiting me and hope you don't suffer from too much sleep deprivation as you whip around the other 1015 (and still rising) bloggers before the 15th!
Happy Blogging
Gini
I am number #1040 on the magic carpet ride.

OMG there are tears (of laughter) running down my cheek as I type this message!! You have excelled yourself with this one Gini!! Absolutely love both sides of Julia, but I'm afraid I have to go with Spanky's choice of outfit, partly because I bought this lace Prima stamp a couple of days ago as I absolutely adore it (another coincidence?), but most of all I have always wanted to have pink punk hair. This image of Julia may just persuade me that it's the way to go when I visit my hairdresser on Wednesday. Also, I think the idea of wearing underwear outside your dress could be much more comfortable than the norm., although large Sloggi's may not look quite as good.
I think the perfect guy for Julia would probably be Superman.
Love and hugs, Sylvia xxx
Oh great stuff! please count me in and visit me at #220!
Oh, oh, Julia is such a sweet girl, I know she´d love to meet the bird king that I have on my balcony for a Valentine date! Please add my name to your list!
I love finding your blog. Had to go back and read older posts because the first was so great. I love the artistic Spanky. She is wonderful. Please enter me in your drawing.

Hmm, I think Julia will pull them all in, although I think Nathan will especially go for that little bra and posing pouch number...
Great giveaway! Thanks so much for having this- please throw my name in the hat. :) And if you haven't already, don't forget to stop by my blog for chances to win prizes! #318 on the magic carpet...
Well, frankly, I think the garden hottie side of her will have to settle for happiness overlooking her lovely estate and dreaming of better days. The valentine hottie, when she dares emerge, would be lucky to gain as much as the steptoe darling as, alas, would I. Julia and I have each clearly seen better days. We would have great fun recalling them.

Gorgeous give away!
Hello Gini and Spanky! Loved reading your post. My choices are a bit obvious - I think your side will attract Alan Titchmarsh (all those lovely flowers) and Spanky's Robbie Williams (all those body tattoos!!) I saw that article in the Craft Stamper and will have to make one myself too sometime. Thanks for the chance of winning yours, I hope you can come see mine here (if you haven’t already!)
Sherry also from England (Essex)

I would personally say it will be Nathan Kamp and even Nodding Neddy looks like he could be fun - we just need to keep old Albert away from her - I've heard he's a dirty old man.
It's been fun! I hope you'll visit Wishing Penny #916
Pleased to meet you Gini, I love the diversity of your pictures. My valentine lies with Steptoe, how can we not love him? xJ
