My Favorite Shoebox

Well I don’t love shoes, but I love shoe stamps 😀

OK I know I mentioned this at one time, but I HATE buying shoes! I always have. I think I have like 3 pair. My sneakers (which I desperately need new ones), a pair of black shoes to go with my jean-you know with the high chunky heel. Not that I need to look taller, already being 5’10, but hey the taller you are the thinner you look right? Then I have some black heels-for dressy occasions, and well I have like 6 pairs of flip flops. So I guess I have more than I thought. Do flip flops count? I could live in just those. I love them. When I’m home Im always bare foot. I know strange. My shoe aversion may be because I have big feet. Not so big that they don’t fit my body, but I am relatively tall, so I wear a size 10. Sometimes I can get into a 9!! WAHOO!! My shoe shopping aversion is just for me though! LOL! I buy like 6 pairs each for the kids, per season. (Another discussion I know I had here, given that my husband thinks kids only need like ONE pair for their entire LIFE! God forbid their feet actually GROW)

That being said for some odd reason I totally LOVE the new MFT set Window Shopping. Can also be found here. I mean really love it. Maybe because I wish I could get into the whole shoe fetish thing that most women have, but I just can’t. Don’t get me wrong Im a girly girl all the way, just not a shoe person. Heck I never even carried a handbag until Alexa got sick and I NEEDED stuff. I was never a diaper bag person either. I would carry a nice “bag” that looked nothing like a diaper bag. Now that we rarely need to bring anything with us I am in heaven. Although we do keep a backpack in the car with clothes and other JUST IN CASE items. Alexa falls alot and it always seems to be the ONE tiny spot where there is a puddle from like a rainstorm 3 weeks before! Murphy’s Law you know.

ANYWAY- like everyday I got off topic-I was being inspired by the set, I created my own Shoebox! Its a super cute size that can fit lots of fun stuff, and yes, maybe even a pair of shoes. You may have seen a snippet of this in the MFT news letter.

I used some delicious Amy Butler Paper, the Sola pack for my base/top. I love using double sided cardstock for gift boxes like these, makes the in and out so appealing.

I had fun coloring it, and think it looks pretty darn good 😀 This is one of those that I will most likely hoard, since I have a hard time sending stuff away. I really should send it off as I have tons to things I need to send some people (all very LATE of course). But, you know me, I must make something just for them.

I just had fun layering the images, and some prettyPrima flowers.

My flower centers are YUMMYbella dots!! Oh how I love those.

The ribbon is by May Arts.

I have much more from this release to share. If you are going to pick up some MFT I am telling you now, that the Stephanie Fizer line is in LIMITED amounts. Oh and I have some SUPER stuff to share with them 😀 so just take my word for it, and get it now! LOL!

OK I have another post to type so Im on the run.
