Your Favorite Shoes

***To see the new November Fresh Squeezed Stamp Sneak Peak, please scroll down***


I have my sister to thank for getting me hooked on Dansco shoes. They are brilliant...they make me feel about a foot taller, puts less stress on my back and I can get away with only having two pair...a black and a brown. No high heels for me! What is your everyday footwear?


There's a new sketch up on the Skipping Stones Design Blog, you can check out the details, rules and prize information here, along with gorgeous samples from the design team and guest designers! I chose to work with the circle and one flower I replaced with a pair of paper pieced shoes from Sassy Shoes and the other I replaced with a button.

I was strongly influenced by the beautiful colors over at The Play Date Cafe. So warm and inviting...

  15. When I HAVE TO put high heels on for a wedding or something fancy, I worry the whole time that I'm going to trip and fall! :) I LIVE in tennies - even at work, except those ones are black.

  21. Oh what a fun sentiment! Lovin' the warm colors and the texture of the background. I must be the only person who doesn't like Dansco shoes. I have the flattest feet and they made my arches hurt. It's only Clarks shoes for me and usually the ones with 1-2 inches heels.

    great sentiment as well...

  25. Great card! Colors are wonderful and love the quote. :)

    The shoes I wear everyday?...well almost everyday...really, they're not shoes. They're flip flops! Our weather usually always warm, so that's my go to. However, it's been cold lately and I've been wearing boots, otherwise tennis shoes. Yes, we get cold in Florida!! lol :)

  27. Flip flops at home and sneakers at work! My two pairs of high heels (well, they're barely kitten heels really) do nothing but collect dust!
