FF#47: themed challenge!

Well...we are back in action after an extended challenge at the Shoe! This week we are going to go in a different direction....take you back in time to the 80's! Who doesn't love the 80s??? Personally I think it is one of the most fun era's to revisit! Good music and fashion eh? So our challenge for you this week is to use the 80s as your motivation. This is a pretty wide open field as you will see by our DT samples! But first....I have a Shoe of the Week to crown! This was tough, all of the entries were great! The Shoe of the Week is going to...
Erica!
for this fabulous mini album! Erica used the colors for an entire album! (click Erica's linked name above to see the rest of this album!)super sweet!!!! congrats Erica!! Please grab our Shoe of the Week badge for your blog ;)

And now...back to the 80's where Madonna was queen (as shown in my project titled 'Material Girls' )


and Atari was the BEST GAME EVER! I can't believe Jill had these pictures laying around! SWEET! I miss ATARI!


Are you ready to go back in time to the 80's??? Let's see what you got! I can't wait to see all the 80's projects...takes me back to a happy place ;) Add your direct links before next thursday night ! Thanks for visiting us at the Shoe this week! Have a great weekend everyone!
