Love My Shoes - OUAS June Challenge

Hello Everyone

I hope you are enjoying the weekend!

It is supposedly winter here in Africa, but my goodness, we surely can't complain about the weather! Beautiful blue skies and wonderful sunshine is the order of the day! ;-))

I had to laugh when I saw the OUAS challenge, as I had just completed my DT layout for Zeus and Zoe and the challenge is all about my favourite things.  So I had done a layout of some of my shoes.  So the OUAS challenge is about exactly that, my 1 guilty pleasure, my shoes (of course, that is next to my scrapping goodies!!!)

So here was the sketch.



And here is my page.

I wanted to make my page a bit edgy, a bit steampunky and a bit sharp, to match my shoes. So I went with Graphic 45 papers, Steampunk Debutante and Olde Curiosity Shoppe.

My journalling is on a tag underneath the photo and says this:
My love of shoes comes a long way. There is no better retail therapy than looking for a new pair of shoes! Next to scrapbooking supplies, shoes must be my next guilty pleasure! In fact, what guilt at all??!!!!!! There is nothing better than stepping out in style! ;-)

Supplies used:
Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante collection
Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe collection
Prima Vintage Trinkets
Chiswick flowers
Enmarc Chipboards
7 Gypsies tag and stamp
Belle Brocade Stencil

Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you have a super day!

Badplaas - CSI Case File no.74

Hi Everyone

I am soooooo pleased it's Friday and I am so happy to just chill and relax a little bit! It certainly feels like it has been a very long week!

I managed to get my layout photographed, just before the sun has disappeared, so at least I am able to post today.

I played along with the new CSI challenge.




I used this sketch as inspiration from Scrap Friends.

Here is my page.

Evidence: Metal brad, flowers
Testimony: Documenting a childhood memory

This photo was taken when I was about 4 or 5 years old, at a resort called Badplaas (direct translation is Bath farm). We spent many a vacation here and it was ideal for kids as they have warm pools and is all centred around family vacations. For days on end we would lie around the pool, rollerskate, play and just chill!

My journalling says:We spent many a vacation at Badplaas, Eastern Transvaal. It was such a great place for families and us kids. We swam and played all day! It was bliss!

I used papers from my stash, BG Sweet Threads and they were perfect for this challenge.

Thanks for popping in!
I appreciate it!
Have a super evening!
