The Shoe Tree v4.0 .. with Show Us Your Stuff

If you saw my post earlier today you'll know that I was feeling more than a tad ambivalent about my layout, The Shoe Tree. Now here's the thing. When I finish a layout I always put it in its album and clean up my table in preparation for my next project. I haven't been able to do this with the layout I shared this morning. My instincts were telling me I had to re-do it. So I did, and finally, I am happy with this layout (I think LOL!).

The Shoe Tree

If you missed this morning's post, so you know, I created this layout using the current challenge at Show Us Your Stuff.  The challenge is a countdown one (like a recipe) requiring the use of the following ..

*  5 circles (I've used a flair button, buttons, punched circles (pink), stamps and enamel dots)
*  4 patterned papers (I've covered that with the layering behind the photo of yours truly)
*  3 photos (actually I have five)
*  2 different sized alphas (see journaling and title)
*  1 handmade embellishment (both the flair button and the buttons are handmade)

I love these types of challenges. If you do too, and think you'd like to give the Show Us Your Stuff challenge a go, you can find all the details HERE. Have fun!! I'm off to link up my layout to the challenge site. This layout I'm happy to share LOL!!!!

PS: If you're wondering about the font I've used that has to just about be the best ever typewriter font, its called "1942 report".

    This is awesome Alz! I can't believe you had that many attempts at it. (I do not have that patience.) nevertheless, the end result looks fantastic and you have well & truly nailed the challenge! Thanks for playing along with us at Show Us Your Stuff. :)
