...When You Live in a Shoe?
Is that a familiar saying to you?
I've asked a few people and they've never heard of it.
Yet if I ever hear the line "what do you do?"...
in my mind it is immediately followed by "when you live in a shoe?"
I had a little talk about it with my brother recently.
He's very familiar with it too,
so it's something from our childhood.
All that being said...
It's time for a new project share for Vilda Stamps,
and I'm thrilled to be sharing this fun Shoe House stamp.
Today I have made a card featuring V219 Stamp Set.
This is an A5 Stamp Set that includes 12 stamps.
I have used two of them on my card.
You'll find the set HERE.
Here is my card:
I stamped and coloured two of the images from the stamp set.
I cut a card base from kraft cardstock,
and created a square frame in the front.
I inserted the image behind it, and did some pen-stitching around it.
I fussy cut the little fellow and added him to the corner of the frame.
Isn't he cute? He obviously lives in the house! ;o)
Here's a closer look:

If you're not familiar with Vilda Stamps, they are located in Sweden!
I've been a big fan of the stamps since I was introduced to them
while working on a DT in Germany!
The stamps can be purchased from Engstroms Artstudio AB.
They ship all over the world.

Nope - sorry, not heard that one, just about the Old Woman who lived in a shoe written around about 1794 -
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread;
And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
Can you imagine that these days?
Anyhow enough of that, I absolutely LOVE your card Nancy, I have a thing about shoe houses! I've done a couple myself, however this card is truly amazing, I love your colouring and the little person in the corner, it's all framed so beautifully. Such a wonderful and creative card.
