Baby Shoes

In June of 2008 I help my husband's cousin

with the Christening of her second Little Girl. These baby Mary Jane's were such a big hit at her daughters first Christening that I made them again. A total of 70. Yes I made 70 shoes with the cooperative efforts of many close stamping friends. I also did the table numbers. The paper for the shoe is digital. I printed the digital paper on smooth white card stock, which I purchased at officedepot.com. I then printed the template which I found on the Splicoaststampers website under the template forum. I then revamped the template so that I was able to print two(2) shoe forms on one 81/2 X 11 sheet of paper. I put the soles to cover the bottom of the shoe on another template sheet. All together you need to run the paper twice through the printer. I then made monogrammed white chocolates with the babies initials and stuffed them into each shoe. Here is the template http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216921&highlight=baby+shoe+template. If you would like the one I created to maximize paper you may email me at mailto:Vaniamaybell@hotmail.com.

The table numbers were also done with digital paper and then I ran the paper through the cuttlebug machine using the Textile Embossing Folder.
