Fashionista Friday #20

Good morning, and happy friday everyone! Blogger was on the fritz last night, so I'm posting a tad bit late today! Thanks for all the fab entries last week, we saw a TON of different interpretations of the ad, which is exactly what we were hoping for! Our Shoe of the Week goes to

Fern!

This layout is just ADORABLE! Fern took the arrow off of the ad as her inspiration....I can't gush about this enough, it is just...WOW! Fern, thanks for sharing with us and feel free to take out Shoe of the Week Blinkie for your blog!

Now on to today's challenge....I hope y'all like it! We are going VINTAGE this week at the Shoe! Think distressing....inked edges, torn/sanded paper, crackle accents, crackle paint, lace, pearls, and MORE! Create something with a VINTAGE appeal to it! Check out what we created:

Lesley

Tracey

Jill

new DT Amy!

Ready to get VINTAGE with us? Add your direct links to Mr. Linky by next Thursday, Feb 4 to be considered for our Shoe of the Week! Looks like a giant chunk of the country is getting pounded with snow this weekend, what better reason to stay home and SCRAP! Have a Shoe-tastic Scrappy weekend!!!

Fashionista Friday #19

Well, now that our new shoe post has been up for a bit....time for today's regular post! First, our Shoe of the Week for our purple and grey challenge! Thanks everyone for participating, some really lovely projects last week! The Shoe of the Week award goes too...

Victoria!

for this lovely purple and grey card! Simply beautiful! I love the stamped image and all the shading...love it! Feel free to pick up our Shoe of the Week Blinkie on our sidebar for your blog Victoria!

Now for today's challenge...this one is an inspirational challenge....find inspiration in the ad below. If you really look at this ad, first of all, it is quite humorous! Second, there is a TON of room for interpretation! Use your imagination with this one!!!

Here is how we were inspired by this ad:

Tracey--I took the shape of the ad, AND the fun drinks at the bottom!!

Jill: this is a 2 pager, so you have to picture it side by side...Jill also took the 'shape' and incorporated it into her layout

What will you take away from our ad this week? The drinks? shoes? the male/female symbols?? Be creative! I can't wait to see what you come up with!!! Add your direct links to Mr. Linky and show us what you got! Oh, and if you get a chance, stop my our new DT's blogs and welcome them to the team! Have a Shoe-tastically Scrappy DAY!

Got room in the closet for some NEW SHOES???

It's that time! Time to reveal those shiny new shoes!! Thankyou to everyone who applied, there were so many fabulous applications to go through! It was extremely difficult to decide....but we narrowed it down to 4. We were looking for variety, and I think we have got it! Our new Shoe DT will be.....

Fashionista Friday #17

It is Friday once again, and that means it is time for another Shoe challenge! But first, I have a bit of sad news to share. Tanisha will be going on deployment for a few months and won't be able to play for a while :( You may have noticed we haven't seen much of her for a while, and well, this is why. She has been prepping to get underway next week. We will miss you Tanisha! Stay safe and we'll see you in April girl!

Now for our Shoe of the Week from last week's challenge. It was fun to see all of the different embellishments y'all used 10 of! This was a TOUGH decision! But...our Shoe of the Week this week is.....(and it gives me pleasure to say this, because she has been a loyal Shoe player for a LONG time!).....

LINDA B!!!

Congrats Linda! LOVED your tree and wheelbarrow full of hearts! We hope you will take our Shoe of the Week blinkie and add it to your blog!

And now for a new challenge! This week we want you to use CHIPBOARD on your projects! Make anything you want, just add some CHIPBOARD! Check out our creations with CHIPBOARD:
