Great Grandma to Shoes..........

You could be thinking what is all this about with a title like that lol.
Well let me explain, a few weeks ago my beautiful granddaughter Ashley told me  I am to be a great grandma in June, so of course I had to search for my knitting needles and get knitting and yes the card making was put to one side. I had forgotten how much I had enjoyed knitting. 2 cardigans and 1 pair of bootees in five days with the 2nd pair in progress.
 
Now we come to the shoes.
 I was sent two beautiful images by the lovely Sheenagh Hulin to make a card and hopefully be accepted for the design team at Jem`s Designs, unfortunately I was not well at the time and with other commitments I was unable to take part.
Jem`s Designs now have a facebook page and you can find it HERE.
 
They are a fabulous bunch of girls who make fabulous cards. Obviously I wanted to make a card and Sheenagh very kindly gave me permission to use the images and I have entered it for a competition on the facebook page.
 
Jem`s Designs have some fabulous Cd`s and I just love the last 2 they have just bought out.. A Swan`s Song and Wish upon a Rose which sold out when aired on C & C last week, so glad I got my order in. To see all the Cd`s click HERE.
You can also find Steampunk for you ladies that enjoy making these.
 
The image is from The Fancy Shoes cd available above.
Neenah Card, Silver and black card from stash
I printed the image 3 times so I could decoupage the frame with shoe and leaves
(leaves were fiddly to cut round) then the shoe again on its own and also the flowers in the top corner which I glittered with Pee Wee.
I added a couple of flourishes kindly given to me by Lindsay Craftymonster thank you. Pearl gems added  and for the final touch a metal flower with rose on top.
Thank you for popping by and hope you have enjoyed your visit.
 
I would like to enter this into.....

  12. Hi Chris, you are a busy bee, the little cardies are gorgeous, I miss knitting, I always had 1 or 2 things on the go, but my fingers will not let me knit so much now.

    And your Fancy footwork card is fabulous, love the design and layout of your card, don't you think Sheenaghs designs are great to work with.
    Hugs Janet
