Vintage Heirloom Altered shoes


Hi everyone, today I have my  
Vintage altered shoes to share with you all.


My commissioned assignment in 
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas" Issue 21 
I had to alter 3 different types of shoes.
I did a Steampunk shoe and a Shabby Chic shoe and
I also created a Vintage pair of children's
satin shoes in a box.

I altered this pair of shoes
to make them look very old.
Placed them in a framed box, lots of vintage satin lace, pearls and velvet shabby flowers.





The new issue of 
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas Magazine"
Issue 23
will be out next week!!!
It is jam packed with inspirational 
Christmas projects and ideas.
There is also a
great free paper pack from "Ruby Rock-it" 
that is
included in the magazine.
That's all for today :)

Thanks for looking
