Inspired By - Colorful Kicks

I knew what to do the minute I saw the photo at Inspired By.  Get out my NBUS All Star High Top from MFT.
I bought this die because my granddaughter loves to wear her Converse and while she does have a pair in yellow she often wears one each of red and blue.  I was cutting down some of my 12x12 paper to fit in my desktop paper trays and this textured yellow was among them - the perfect choice.  I was on the ball enough to put Couture Creations double sided tape on my papers before cutting out those tiny pieces.  I can't believe how easy that made putting it all together.  I'm not usually a "little bits" kind of card maker but the adhesive worked like a charm.  The rays die by Reverse Confetti made a wonderful background.  Again I struggled with a sentiment but this one by Technique Tuesday worked.  Especially since Kjerstin will be embarking on new adventures soon.

I'm also sending this over to the NBUS challenge. 

Thanks for dropping by.  What new adventures do you have in store?

Fabulous, Bobby! I think you have a winner here! My hat goes off to you putting all those pieces together! My grandson likes to mix up his shoes too. I guess that's the style now.

Oh yes, you get the award for fussy piecing today, Bobby! Good to know about that tape, and where I might be able to borrow those dies, right? Thanks giving us a kick at Inspired By!
