It has to be red

Sounds like a simple question - What's your favourite colour?  Since I was little, my favourite colour has always been blue.  I always answered without hesitation.  Blue.  And I still *love* blue.  But I have been a bit fickle over the past few years and I have had obsessions with green, orange and red as well!!  Lately, it's RED all the way.  I glanced through my wardrobe this weekend, and found I have two pairs of red canvas shoes, a red handbag, red purse, red striped t-shirt, red cardigan, red umbrella, red gym shirt, red Nike Shox, red uggie-style slippers, red polar fleece jumper, two red long-sleeved t-shirts, and the list goes on...  so I think I can safely say that my current favourite colour is... RED.

I scrapped about my red slippers last year HERE so I thought it would be fun to scrap about my red shoes!  Here's my layout:

This layout is for:
# If It's Groovy ~ April Challenge ~ Hans Christian Anderson
I visited this site and found out he wrote 168 stories!  I would never have guessed it was that many.  "The Red Shoes" was written in 1845 (and the main character's name is Karen too).

Here's a little detail shot:



My layout is also for:
