January 2016 | Paper Doll Layout

Hello and welcome to my 2016 series of paper doll layouts inspired by my favourite movies and TV shows! I'm starting the year off a little late but hopefully this will be the only one! I'm not making any promises though lol!! ;)

This months layout is based off the movie Big which was an absolute childhood favourite for me! I watched it so many times that I had most of the movie memorized. ;)

I knew that I definitely wanted to recreate the mall scene where he plays the big piano, so the first thing I did was went online and found printable piano keys. I found a blank one that was meant to teach piano and it was the perfect size for the doll stamp, so I printed it out and trimmed it down to fit on my layout.

To create Josh, I stamped the Aidan paper doll onto text paper (I use a digital download that I purchased from Etsy to stamp on) and then I stamped his clothes on patterned paper. I couldn't really make him look exact since he's wearing a jacket and a collar shirt in the movie but I tried to replicate the pattern on his shirt to make him look similar.

Once I had all of the stamping done, I glued all of his clothes on and cut him out with my scissors. I printed the quote from the movie onto a piece of graph paper (he's actually in a mall in this scene but I knew there was no way I'd be able to recreate that behind him without turning the layout into a hot mess lol! so I kept the background pretty simple.

I adhered the piano on the bottom and then added Josh on top to make it look like he was standing on it. Since the background was pretty plain, I added a few diecut music notes to fill some of the space and give the impression that he's making music. ;) 

Overall the layout still looks a little plain to me, but I'm glad I created this movie to include in my album.

To see how I created this months page, you can watch the video below:

I'll see you later this month with my February 2016 paper doll layout! ;)
