Shoes - It's really not just a girl thing

You would think that, as a girl, then I really should have a thing about shoes.  After all, isn't it genetic?  The current challenge at Cardz4galz certainly thinks they are a suitable subject for a girl.  However, if you live in my house, then the norm is not the norm.  I tend to have one black pair for winter plus a pair of boots.  In summer I'll have a black pair and a neutral shade (although I have had a lovely blue pair from Moshulu that have lasted me years).  In my son's bedroom, however, you can't move 2 inches without tripping over a pair - and he's only ever here in the holidays!  Heaven knows how many pairs he's got at university. As shoes are a bit of an obsession with him, several years ago, I bought a brilliant woodware stamp.  I decided to drag it out for today's challenge and how do you turn a pair of sneakers girly?  Colour them bright pink and paint them over the top with sparkle pen of course!


Having said I'm not much into shoes, I really fancy a pair of these.  You would see me coming a mile away if nothing else.  They also look far more comfortable than the heels I used to wear in my long distant youth.

Over to you ladies and gents.  Let's see your footwear creations please.

Thanks for reading.

  1. Beautifully done, Dawn! Love that stamp and I could use a pair of these myself!! The stenciled background is the best subtle detail. Have a great rest of your week, my friend!

  5. A super card Dawn. Your family sounds like mine, I have few shoes but my eldest son has loads, he buys the same style in several colours - I thought it was supposed to be girls that did that!
