Hang your Sneaks & Stay Awhile!


It's another Willow Traders Blog Hop Weekend!

I have been on a sketch kick lately.....oh, speaking of kicks, I would love to share this layout. The sneakers were made with a stamp. I stamped four of them and used foam adhesive between two to add dimesion. I haven't used my stamps nearly enough,...so I was pleased to fit this one in. I tried to hang them like ballet shoes, as I used this quote,"Soccer is the ballet of the masses",...except I added an if, then....suggesting that Kurt ought to then stick to jazz. Kurt is my athletic one but, soccer just didn't do it for him! :) My favorite recollection is when he insisted to wear his shin guards to protect his knees! This layout was one that I really struggled with. I just could not figure out how to arrange the photographs and I almost changed it to a two pager,...I was glad when this arrangement finally fell into place as I was experimenting. I, also liked my paper combo,...Pink Paislee Sweet Cakes orange dot, Prima Dude diamond paper and Fancy Pants Delight for the Stripe. The journal box is from the WRMK MVP line.

Thanks for popping by,...looking forward to visiting your place soon!
