GumBoots

The kids wear their gumboots all the time on the farm. They are so easy for them to slip on and off when they go off to 'work' - so much easier than me having to help them put proper work boots on! I thought I would pay homage to them! This is the latest sketch on the Get Picky blog.

And here is my layout:


I've used some LilyBee designs papers, some Mister Hueys spray with a Prima mask and some Twiddlybitz Chipboard. I made some rolled roses:




And finished it off with these Thickers (thanks Donna!) - love these!


Thanks so much for stopping by...
