Pool party, that is! Thank you, Kim for these vivd
colors today in your first pick as a Color Challenge hostess. I am so excited to have made it.
Before anyone thinks I am a dancer, let me say, I have two left feet and not a hint of rhythm . Here's a 45 second laugh for you. But in spite of it all, I wanted to create an encouraging card for someone who has not pursued her passion for dance in OVER 4 years! Think this will do the trick???
The quote is a Tim Holtz image, 'Dottie' from Art Impressions is dancing to her own drummer, decked out in lime green bloomers, her teal party dress complete with a frilly edged hem. I added red lipstick, ear'BOBS', and red high heeled dancin' shoes. The worn wood floor has stories to tell, if anyone is listening!
Thanks for taking the time to have an Elaine break and leaving your comments...they truly encourage me to keep on dancin' even if it's only in my head!!!

Oh I just love this!!!!!!!!!! Those Art Impression stamps are just the best, but I have not seen this one yet. I love her. I love to dance and am always dancing by myself in my craft one, cause I'm always listening to music!! And I "adore" her green bloomers Fantastic sentiment too.

I never buy stamps like this one, and this card makes me wish I did and makes me think I should. Fabulous! Love what you did with the skirt!

Thank you for commenting on my card as it led to the search for this super fun card. This is one of my favourite fun stamps, looking at this treasure I must go in search of my Dottie. Your entire gallery makes my heart smile Susan.
