(I'll try to personalise the banner when I know where this is going ).
Kit is all out to impress with this page from her scrapbook. Sock party - that's slumming it for her!! She and Dingo go in more for fancy black-tie affairs that suit their mansion. Get a look at the Carrara marble floor and hand-printed gold wallpaper - and that's just the entrance hall. And oh my, that vulgar, flashy big pink diamond that Kit Junior is wearing - a bit OTT, don't you think. But you can understand her prancing around full of excitement at the upcoming ball. Of course, we know Kit is cheating with her scrapbook - who knows where this party really took place ;-).
It's just as well this is Tickle a Teapotter week as this card sure wouldn't make much sense to anybody else. I also combined it with yesterday's TLC to cover chipboard with DP, in a desperate attempt to come up with a dog to include.
5 1/2" square base. Floor is Print Pattern stamped in black. Wallpaper is RubberNecker's Striped Background stamped and embossed with gold on Bazzill. Banner Basics 2 cut from scraps of Bazzill and decorated with bling. Kit Jr is Basic Grey Mellow chipboard covered with a scrap of BG Blush, and with a blingy collar added. Since that chipboard is self-adhesive, in hindsight I should have peeled the sticker off the back and used it as a template to cut my paper, some of those little nooks and crannies were hard to sand, even with the tiny BG files.
No big bows, no poodle skirts but I did manage a fancy blingy collar, and hopefully this will impress all those dogs who looked down on Kit and thought she was just a nerd when they were all in high school together.
I'll be back to comment when I finish off the housework that I didn't get round to yesterday.

What a FINE card! Love the "wallpaper" and that AWESOME banner! Kit is happy as ever wearing her amazing BIG, pink diamond heart collar, prancing about on the beautiful Carrara floor!

I can see the "ballroom" is ready for the entrance of the Hostess, Whatserdoodle, to come to greet her guests - All that LOVELY gold will tell the tale of her success to all her former classmates!
Love how you used the banners across the top. Looks like someone (?) has already laid claim to this card!! Can't blame her a bit - its marvelous!

Ooohh.. love that grand foyer with its marble tiles and fancy wallpaper! Very luxurious. The banner is a nice touch... and will really tickle a teapotter.
