For the inspiration challenge, to make a card inspired by a dress in a movie. I have always LOVED the Wizard of Oz, and being a baby boomer it was always a treat to watch the movie which showed ONCE a year! No vcrs, no dvd's, it was a real treat indeed. We would be allowed to eat in the den and it was a very special event in our house. We would just quake at those flying monkeys, and those sleep inducing poppies always seemed magical to me. And of course I adored Dorothy's blue and white checked dress and ruby slippers! The sentiemnt is mounbted on a nestied panel colored silver with my paint pen for in honor of the Tin Man!!
So thanks for looking at my card and thanks Stef for the awesome inspiration.

I remember when The Wizard of Oz would come on TV and it would be a HUGE deal in our house as we were allowed to eat dinner in the livingroom that one night a year. I was always (and still am) scared of the flying monkeys, too! Love it, Nancy.. it's absolutely PERFECT. Thanks for the memories
