These Boots Were Made For Walking!

 Hello to You All, I hope all is good and that everyone had a lovely weekend.

We enjoyed our weekend and our meal out at the Turkey Restaurant, but what an awful night it was weather wise, freezing cold and battering rain. Since it had been such a long time that we had been out at night, I thought I would dress up a bit and looked out good trousers and a lovely blouse. What I ended going out dressed in was a heavy jumper warm trouser, gortex bots and my big rain jacket, and I was still cold, anyway that's by  the by, it was still a lovely night.

I have Alistair's birthday card tonight,


Using the boots stamp from the same Creative Stamping magazine as my previous cards, this time I heat embossed in WOW gold powder and coloured with DI and embossed boot prints in gold on to red card. Alistair loved it as he likes bright colours. I've certainly had mileage out of these stamps.

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my posts, they are always so appreciated.

That's me for now, take care everyone and see you soon,

The card for Alistair is beautiful, Kate. Happy birthday to your husband. I love that you used bright red and gold colours. As for the weather, please wear warm clothes. It seems that winter is coming. Not in Greece, though, as we still have temperatures around 22 C degrees. Kisses!

The weather has been awful and I think you were sensible in dressing up warm, better to be comfortable than freeze? I LOVE your card and you have made fabulous cards with those boots. I think the snetiment is spot on too.

I adore the bright red boots and a great card for Alistair with the gold embossing and the gold embossed footprints around the edges. I hope he had a good day. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could buy boots in that gorgeous colour..you could be found on the hills easily wearing those. x

Well, when the stamp fits the man and the occasion, you gotta use it. Super fun card, loving the red!
