The teapotters are headed to the Academy Awards on the 27th and we're vying for the best of the best in fancy garb or...if the critics so deem...the worst of the worst! Betty posted the perfect hat colors for the Color Challenge: Perfect Plum, Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Neutrals of choice w/dessert option to use hardware. I found a Google image and printed it, traced it for the card shape and had a blast decorating it! The polka dots are to honor Mothermark - they're her fave! Gotta bribe those judges to try and win extra cookies - hehehe! This week's destination is Lauren...a young actress who has to put her career on hold while she faces some tough medical issues. Hat's off to Lauren! This card is also being entered into Claire's Waltzingmouse sketch challenge. She gave us a star-shaped card for our inspiration, but I changed the shape to a hat. TFL!
PAPER: Rose Red, Always Artichoke, White, The Thrift Shop (October Afternoon)
ACCESSORIES: Primas, Sheer ribbon, Stick pin (Mike's), Pearls from Pretties Kit (SU), MS frond punch

oooh! Oooh! Oooh!! What's under those flowers? Polka dots! Whoo hoo! Oh my Wanda, you did good! And......did you hear? The in look this year at the Academy Awards is polka dots! You are right up this red carpet alley with this wonderful little hat in honor of Lauren! Now when someones tells you its the perfect combination of Pretty Woman and Minnie Pearl, that's a compliment, okay? Just smile and thank them and keep concentrating on not tripping on the red carpet, okay? That's whut I am doing!!! Concentrating! Snort!
Hey, we didn't get kicked outa the Kentucky Derby this summer so keep this pattern in mind when we go back. The girls liked racing horses!
Your card, I mean hat, rocks! I love it! Whoot! Don't think I didn't notice the glitz, I mean diamonds, on the purple flower!

Wanda, this is an amazing and truly unique card! I know a lot of ladies would love getting this card in their mailbox! I love all the flowers and the ribbon and what better use for a hat pin than on a hat!
