These Boots Were Made for Walking

Layout By Geri Beam April 2025

Geri Beam from Georgia, USA with a scrapbook layout celebrating the eventful month of April. I was lucky enough to attend a wonderful class on how to make my own quilted high-top tennis shoes.  My quilt guild had a fun pincushion swap and I used my shoes as inspiration.  The phrase “These Boot Were Made for Walking,” summed it all up perfectly. Be sure to check out more digital phrases on the Twilight Crafts web page to make your layout special.
