Journaling: I remember when I was in grade school, girls wore skirts and dresses, never pants, no matter the weather. Saddle shoes were ubiquitous, I saw them everywhere and they were always worn with white ankle socks. Some were always polished, some had scuff marks and some had laces that had seen better days and some had down trodden heels, signs of running and playing. Some saddles were navy and others were brown.
I remember thinking they were the ugliest shoes Id ever seen and they would never, ever grace my feet. And they didnt. Who would want to wear those ugly things with cute skirts or dresses? Gasp!
Now I think they are adorable and Im actually thinking about getting a pair. I like the idea of wearing them with jeans. I dont know if they were a cheap pair of shoes back in the day, but they are not now. They make me smile because they bring back a childhood memory and were iconic for the time. And I have a shoe thing.

Notes: Using artsy paper 4 and blending artsy paper 6 into it with Hard Light then using a Hue?Saturation Adjustment layer to intensify the yellows on the papers. I clipped the photo to the abstract mask and blended to Hard Light. The photo was duplicated and blended to Overlay. Underneath I placed the artsy fotoblendz, coloring to yellow and using the Blend Ifs on it.
Underneath these layers the art stroke, a transfer, the play park brush and artsy stains were added. Over the photo and to the left a bask brush was added in yellow. Over the play park stamp is the retro glow blended to Overlay.
I added the title and pasted in the journaling with the dimensional elements added to the page. The finished it.
