The Other Shoe...

Shoes come in pairs right? So I "needed" to make another shoe to its counterpart....seen HERE! I am in love with these shoes from the Princess Party Cartridge. If I have a birthday/pool party this summer for Cortney, I think I will make a bunch for the girls and fill them up with lip glosses and such. They are so easy to make and dress up!


To embellish the back of the shoe I used the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive, 3-D Bows.  I inked the edges, applied glossy accents, gave it a good dose of glitter, and added a pearl to the center. 
I added one of those paper bows to the front too, along with a silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Store


And of course the trick to a pretty paper shoe, is to use double sided paper.

I am so glad it's Friday!  My hubby and I are going out tonight for a belated anniversary celebration. I am also going to see the play, Motherhood tomorrow with a dear friend.  I've heard it's "pee in your pants funny!" I could use a few laughs! ; )
Have a great weekend!

Who Can Resist a Good Pair of Shoes?


I don't know a woman alive who doesn't like a good pair of shoes!  I work with a few "shoe obsessed" teachers and thought it would be fun to make them their own special shoe.  A shoe that could be filled with a sweet treat! I used the Princess Party Cartridge.  It was so easy to make!  I just added a few embellishments to dress it up.....
Like a paper bow cut from the 3-D bows cartridge, that I inked and glittered. 

A couple of vellum flowers were added, complete with a rhinestone.....because what diva doesn't like a little bling too? ; )

The end of the school year is approaching quickly.  Just a couple of weeks left! Today, we are taking our fifth graders to Robert Crown. It is an educational site where the students learn about puberty and such. All week, they've been so nervous to go! I actually remember going myself, when I was their age.  I remember how anxious I was about it. 


After school, I am shopping for a dwarf tree to plant in our new garden in the backyard.  I will share pictures as soon as it is finished!


I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I love your visits!!
