It has been a busy few months and my mind has been focused on stuff I have to do....this prevents my usual creative process where my mind just starts to wander down various paths in my head and a card idea pops up. Earlier in the week, my usually housebroken dog had an accident on the kitchen floor. Not wanting to focus on that task, my mind did wander and I had the start of this card....the card has nothing to do with dog poop, that is just what started the creative process. The boot was only facing one direction, and since I wanted a pair of boots, I had a problem. Lacking the computer skills of some of you amazing techie types (actually, I lack the technical ability of most 5 year olds), I printed the boot on computer paper, taped it to the window, traced the image on the back, and printed it onto card stock. I printed slightly larger versions and colored them black for the shadow. When I saw this week's WT challenge to use humor, I added the computer generated sentiment "when it rains on your parade, wear really cute boots". The MIX challenge gave me the idea to draw my own cow animal print background. Finally, when I was 8, whenever all 5 of us kids were crammed into the family car to go somewhere , the radio blasted Nancy Sinatra singing "These boots are made for walking". I sure did want a pair of white go go boots. So, I included this in this month's CTO216 gallery for the theme "songs from the heart". I am off to my SaT morning discussion group followed by my exercise walk. I will be back to catch up on this week's gallery and comments. TFL, Francie

....and, they're gonna walk all over you. Ha Love your boots and had been admiring them on the front of the gallery, just didn't know they were yours until now. So much talent here....drawing your own cow background and getting that boot switched the opposite direction. I want a pair of these but think I will remove the cactus before putting them on.
