Journals and Paper Dolls -- Weekly challenge at Digital Whisper

As a child I liked to cut out paper dolls but my sister was the one with the imagination for the stories.  I kept a diary as a teenager but never a journal.  So this is my first journal page.
The paper doll idea is from my good friend Inka at Altered Artifacts along with the image for the stage.  The background for the stage was from an image Kimmie provided for an earlier challenge.  I used journal #2 from the link provided by Su and a couple of textures.  The cloth scraps are from another friend, Heather T. from her kit Scrap Masks.

I did do some sewing as a teenager but certainly not "designer" clothes.
