This is my card for today's inspiration challenge. This is my story!
1. I decided to dedicate this card to all the funny shoe dilemas that people get into including wearing two different colors, getting heals stuck in sidewalk hazards, or mysteriously popping off heals, etc.
2. Or how about those pregnant times when you can't even see your shoes or better yet are not sure if you even have any on!
3. I have this really old pair of obnoxious neon green and navy blue Nike men's sandals that my son bought when he was about 16. They are too big for me (hey, he's 6 ft. 5 inches tall...you need a big foot to support that height!) but they are really awesome for trudging around in the mud outside when watering my plants.
4. I am usually running late for work every morning because I am dinking around with cards (go figure!) and I water my plants sort of....on the way out the door!
5. Luckily everyone in our office was out of town besides me one day when I discovered I had my nice black slacks on, my nice blouse appropriate for work and my muddy neon green and navy Nikes in about a size 13 mens! I was styling for sure! I thought I felt extra comfy in my shoes that day! Needless to say, I didn't run any errands on my lunch hour!
Thanks Artystamper for the fun images!!!

OMG.....that is too funny, your story about the neon shoes going to work!!! I did the same thing once....I go home for lunch to care for my son....and always slip into my comfortable slippers when I enter my house. Well, I forgot to slip back into my work shoes when I went back to work, and I too, didn't venture out of my office for anything extra that afternoon!!! Thankfully, there were no emergencies! LOL
Your card, however, is beautiful!!! I love your layout and colors!!!

I love your take on this IC!!! And your story too.....I've never worn two different shoes, or the wrong ones....but socks...that I've done! Good thing you don't work out front where ya work....that wouldv'e gotten a lot of interesting conversations going. Man, now I wanna go shoe shopping today!!!!! DH does need tennis shoes...maybe that will be good enough to get me in the door of a shoe store. *grin*

ROFL!!! You are so funny!!! That has happened to me, I was in a store once and wondered why the floor was SO uneven, and then I looked down at my feet and had 2 VERY different shoes on!!! One blue loafer and one brown docksider! No wonder why the floor felt so odd!!!
Anyway, what a cute cute card! just love it and thank you for the belly laugh.
p.s. glad to know I am not alone in dashing off to work at the last minute after I get my challenge uploaded!!! *wink*

This is super cute, Cindy! I love how you colored the two Bellas in the same color but opposite. Great sketch design with a lot of cute brad work, too!
