This has been such a fun challenge, Wendy..I had to think about this for a while!! I finally decided to make my card around the musical Chicago...I just loved that movie!!! I was sooo impressed with all the dancing that I made my card to honor one of the greatest dancers of all time...Ginger Rogers!! As the sentiment says..."Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, she just did it backwards and in high heals"...what a woman!!
This is also for the Twisted Sisters Challenge to case a card from Jamie's (JaniePTS) gallery and what a fabulous gallery to find inspiration!!! I decided on her Snow Business...I kept the same basic layout and colors but changed the shape to a square design, changed the theme, stamps, and added the ribbon, silver cording, and silver pearls.
The shoe image from Clear Dollar Stamps Sassy and Fabulous set was paper pieced with Basic Grey's Marrakech paper, cutout, and popped up on the white Nesties shape. I titled this Happy Dance because Jamie is now reunited with her DH...I can just see her dancing now...Whoohoo!!!!! TFL!!

I agree, Ginger was the most talented! And wouldn't she just love these shoes! I'm not graceful enough to wear high heels, much less dance backwards in them! Love the paper piecing too.

Jimmy Choo step aside; there's a new shoe designer in town and her name is Joan! Love these pretty blue shoes, and your ribbon treatment is lovely! Great job on all those challenges, Joan!

Oh Sistah! Jamie coulda made these shoes do quite a dance- you should have seen her face when her eyes met Jason's! It was a precious moment! Thanks so much for honoring this lil newbie stamper with such an awesome card. She will smile to see this (soon as she is online again!) You are a good friend Joanie, and a great sistah! Love you....

I don't know about dancing (In fact, you surely would laugh if you ever saw me try) but I was jumping for joy. I can tell you had some fun with cute card. The shoe is too cute and that senti is so perfect. TFS and thanks for playing.
