Student Footwear

My youngest daughter, Karen, loves to hunt for clothes in Charity Shops. In the past she has managed to root out bargain items from Karen Millen and Topshop, among others. Her latest find at Easter was a brand new pair of Converse trainers (her favourite) in pink, and they've hardly been off her feet since!
Looking at her most recent photos, with her wearing the aforementioned trainers, I spotted that her male University friends also favour brightly coloured shoes, and there was the idea for my layout.
Here's the work in progress..........




.........and here's the finished page.


I used Papermania scalloped cardstock, free papers from Scrapbook Magazine and a sheet of K&Co flowered paper to make a bright, Spring background. A few buttons and ribbon, a quotation from Oscar Wilde, and plenty of doodling completed the page.
Call me old-fashioned....and I know you will....Karen loves wearing her trainers the way she does, but they look to me as if they should be worn as boots!
