Found Altered Challenge! My new Pink "Get Em Girls!"

I found a pair of shoes in my cupboard. I've hardly worn the poor things, opting for my favourites all the time. I wear them maybe once a year... IDEA!!! Dress them up for an annual event. I'm entering in the "Found Altered Challenge" on the Imaginisce blog that Pinky is hosting.

Watch out shoes!!! Your boring black is about to get pretty! 

Every year I attend A Girls Day In event for Breast Cancer. This year is particularly special for me as we are celebrating 20 years since my mum beat breast cancer! She was diagnosed at the young age of 39. Being 35 years old myself I am very vigilant. Last year I received genetic testing for the aggressive BRACH2 cancer gene and tested negative! So rather than 80% chance of cancer, my odds are now 1 in 11 like the general population. (Still very high odds to me!) so I'm all for promoting awareness. 

 

So once a year, I'll be wearing my old/new breast cancer "Get em-girls"! (More often than I wear them now!)

As you can see I covered the black using the new range of Imaginisce Enchanted range... which I was lucky that my local shop was unpacking Tuesday morning! 

I used my I-top to make a large brad for my buckle. 

 

I cut out two different sized flowers from the Princess Posies paper and cut the petals on one and frayed it, placing a small i-top covered brad in the middle. I cut the pink ribbon from SCAL and i-rocked it! 

I papermache'd the back using the crowns paper and placed a thick layer of glossy accents over it. I also love using the i-top punch shape occasionally, like I did here, to create an embellishment. 

Some matching enchanted ribbon by Imaginisce and I'm all finished. Ready to party. 

 Thanks Pinky and the team at Imaginisce for such a great challenge. I loved taking the time creating these reflecting on what an awesome strong woman my mum was to survive chemotherapy and the great job Breast Care Nurses and research companies such as K-Confab do.  

I'll wear them proudly, if only once a year. 

I know you are all waiting for my calendar... well at least two of my followers are! lol. I'll be posting tomorrow (If I don't get distracted again!) AND there is a prize too! See you tomorrow! x
