The Twisted Sisters challenge for the week was to make a sympathy card that required no extra postage.
Here's a song for you to enjoy while you read the story of WannabeinCalifornia:
Chorus:
Where, where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over,
And thought I found true love.
You met another and
Phht! you were gone
Oh Wannab, she's lonely again tonight. Jose left, so she is sitting in the barn, all alone with her mucking boots. No margaritas, just horses. The Bus passes by, and her friends laugh, knowing that Wannab is not really sad, knowing that another will come along. So until then, she will just sing her theme song...Phht! And wearing them red high heels!
Her glasses have CE, and I used Fun Flock on her dress and the critters. Her broach is real ruby too.

Hey.....kinda looks like me! What a great image!! I also really like how you put the CB doodad thingy on top. Man oh Man they are pretty. I used to play the piano and I have red hair.......sort of..........it comes and goes!

Well, it didn't take too long for me to take off the mucking boots to get all gussied up with my red high heels. Ok, now back to the card. I really like this in black and white, a great choice of dp. I love the flourish at the top of the image to make it look like a frame. Cool, real ruby brooch. I see you have me all flocked up. Good job. Only one thing missing, there is no twinkling H20 to the upper front side to give a look of all perked up. Thanks, to Mutnik, too, for sharing her image to help Mrs. B to humiliate me in public. *grin*
Thanks for the fun memories of Hee Haw. Watch for the new lyrics to the old chorus.

Jose had only been gone for about an hour when the chorus was re-written.
OH, how I am playing tonight,
I'm so glad to be out alone,
I Put the red high heels on,
I went out and found true love,
I got a hot one and
Phht, your alone.

Pat, would you believe I am holding my sides, they ache from laughing with this one! The really sad thing is I remember your YOUtube clip from when it was on the telle vision and other than the radio, that was the only electronic thing in the house!!!!! I just adore that image and you have certainly done it justice making every body fancy! This is an outstanding sympathy card, my friend and thanks for the memories!!!!!
