This is for the Inspiration Challenge spurred by the Heavenly Hostess website. Fantastic inspiration site, Stef, thanks! I selected this red polka dot apron as my inspiration: http://www.heavenlyhostess.com/aprons_minnie.html.
Ms. Anne of Ryan is not only the queen of social networking, but she is a real estate broker extraordinaire Â… hi Anne!
This is Anne slowing down long enough to sip a nice cup of celebration tea in front of one of the most recent home she sold to some folks lucky enough to get to work with her. SheÂ’s probably thinking that the first thing the new owners need to do is hire a yard maintenance crew to cut that unruly lawn!
DonÂ’t you think Anne looks oh so lovely as a blonde with green eyeshadow? WeÂ’ll see if sheÂ’s taken with this new look Â… mayhaps weÂ’ll see a new avatar for Anne after she sees this. :-)
Also, Wannabedetective and Brat Â… please note that Anne is sporting a ruby ring today to match her lovely outfit. No misappropriated diamond ring in this scene!
I made this card last weekend when I also discovered the Dare to Get Dirty challenges and decided to combine them with the IC. I do believe this qualifies for kittie747Â’s Scene Challenge (although probably not what Kitty had in mind!). I believe it also qualifies for DeborahLynneSÂ’s challenge to add texture, Blondie090277Â’s challenge to do paper tole, DTGD09Becca-Stamps to cut it out, and finally, I believe it qualifies for LaralyÂ’s challenge to add ribbon or fiber. I couldnÂ’t possibly make a card for Anne without including ribbon, now could I?!!!
Creating scenes is definitely not my forte, but it sure was fun to make this card! I hope you at least get a giggle out of it. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

WOWEEEE! This is SO, SO incredibly fabulous! I love this scene. ALL OF IT. What great detail!
You have the gorgeous Mrs. Ryan all innocent looking while taking a *nip* from her very fancy china *teacup*! Check out that fabulous jewelery, especially the ruby ring and the crown!!! Where do you suppose those came from? Perhaps some poor unsuspecting royal that was smitten with the very sexy legs, and green eyeshadow of this blond bombshell!!!
I noticed Anne was trying to deny selling this modest, but quaint home. I think it's because it was her tryst cottage with her royal!!! She is not as discrete as she SHOULD BE!
The clouds and house, grass and real estate sign are all too fabulous! Thanks for the huge smile Ms M!

HAHAHA! I never got to see this one and it is a RIOT! LOVE the real estate sign (of course sporting SOLD)! Is it Halloween yet? It appears Miss Anne is dressed up like a ladybug? And I am surprised that she is sprouting antennae and not horns...she can be devilish you know, hee! This card is soooo fantastic! You should do scenes more often!
