Friday’s Feelings {Stepping Out}
March 20, 2009 by Jennifer
STEPPING INTO SPRING!
Today is the first day of SPRING and what better way to celebrate the start of the season than with a new pair of sandals!!! Well, OK…maybe not a pair exactly! But, since it’s Friday and my focus is on journaling, I decided to do a project about a little obsession I have for shoes.
When I found out I had “Feelings Friday” again, I started stressing. But then I realized, journaling doesn’t always have to be on a layout or mini album. So, I decided to alter an old sandal using one of my favorite new Pink Paislee lines - Fascinating.
Here’s the journaling I wrote for my altered project, my “SHOE CONFESSIONS”!!!
If you would like to do something similar, make sure you prep the sandal by cleaning it with soap and water, and then wipe with rubbing alcohol. When the shoe is completely dry, sand lightly with sandpaper. These steps will help prevent problems with the paper adhering to the shoe surface.
Also to make this project easier, I removed all the straps from the sandal. Then I covered the sole and heel with patterned paper and then made my own straps out of patterned paper.
Think of something you love, a hobby, something job related, or even a favorite food!!! Then, find an object that relates to the subject, that you can alter - Don’t forget, make sure your object has enough space for the journaling!!!
Have a great weekend!
