It's All About the Shoes !

 FOR THE EAD DESIGNS

 MONDAY BLOG HOP

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN

Welcome to The Open Window...it's great to have you here today!

There's a very special blog hop going on all week long

so you picked a GREAT day to peek in!

If you've reached my blog by way of the talented

Diana Fisher's Blog

then you are right where you need to be on the hop!

If not, I'd love for you to start from the beginning over at the

Imaginisce Blog

because there are some great prizes up for grabs!

There are only 6-8 blogs to visit each of the five days

so it's an easy hop to complete and will be so worth it!

 All the details are at the end of my blog post.

Each of the participating designers from The Twinery were given a collection

from Imaginisce called 'Sole Sisters' and I can tell you that we ALL

had a great time with this collection.  Each of the designer papers & embellishments

were super fun to work with.

It is so easy to use The Twinery's baker's twine as accents on shoes

and that's exactly what I did here using Honeydew & Charcoal twines.

These shoes remind me of something I might find in my mom's closet

as a little girl in the 60's.

I used everyone's favorite Caribbean twine as a border 

for a little extra interest.

Every girl knows a handbag is not complete without 

a nice big embellishment hanging from the handle!

I absolutely adore the design of these chipboard embellishments,

right down to the colors.  They have such a cool 'retro' vibe to them.

You can never go wrong with houndstooth!

The over-sized 'Best Friends' tag was a perfect addition to this bag.

I used Buttercream twine for the flower center and a created a

big huge bow

out of Mandarin & Honeydew twine.

There are going to be SIX PRIZES given away during this fabulous week!
