Summer Smooches Sneakers!!

Hey Stampers!

I have something really cute to share with you today.   This year for the first time I decided to apply for the Stampin'Up! Artisan Award and while I wasn't chosen - I did have a lot of fun making my projects and can't wait to try again next year.  I also want to send out a big congratulations to those who were picked - I cannot wait to see their work when I get to convention in July.   Of all the things I did - this was probably the funnest project I made, just because they turned out so stinkin cute!    These are my smooches sneakers!   If you are going to convention this year - hopefully Stampin'Up! will have them on display!   I hope to see lots of people wearing fabric covered sneakers at convention - get to work ladies!!

Stampin Supplies:

• Fabric, modge podge, paintbrush
• How to: - I used a piece of thin fabric and a pen to trace the shapes for the pieces.  It took a bit of cutting and trimming to get the pieces to fit just right.  Then I just used modge podge to attach the fabric to the shoes and put a couple more layers on top to keep everything in place.  It was really fun to do!

Connie these are adorable and I wish I had a pair to wear to convention. they would match the parasol I made for the Artisan Contest. I didn't win either and this is the first year I have not been on the finalist list.

These are superb Connie, absolutely amazing and thank you for being so generous in sharing how you created these,...
I am astounded as to why they never made the Artisan selection, perhaps the judges were having a bad hair day, as they certainly are the people's choice!! You must be very proud indeedy!!

Hi Connie ... OMG these are sooooo cute! I think you should have one also, as everything you make is adorable! You are certainly one of the most creative stampers I know! Maybe if we have another "conventional" this could be one of the projects ?? LOL! Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us CASErs!! =)
