Boots Required For Summer

Well another card for a male, my grandson who is turning 21 and attends University.  He had a summer job applying sealer to driveways.  His boss had the boys knocking on doors to get the customers and then doing the jobs themselves.  Part way through the summer he decided he would take away their commision for getting the customer and only pay them an hourly rate which was lower than minimum wage.  They both quit, went out and got a trailer and a tank and set up their own business.  Last I heard they were doing quite well.

I don't very often do a CAS card, but decided on one this time.  So everything is very minimal.  The boot tracks are from Digi stamps 4 Joy.  I popped up the heel and the sole to give some definition and used a stamp which I embossed with red for the sentiment.  White and red cardstock on a black card from my stash.


I think he will like it.  I am entering the card in the following challenges:

Those footprints are fun! I think the kids were treated badly - glad they rose above the situation.

There are a lot fake Tag Heuer of potential timepiece enthusiasts who would find a lot of joy in the Milus Snow Star. The good styling and theme alone are just part of the value proposition. While fake Audemars Piguet this isn’t the rock-bottom cheapest watch of its type around, I think for the movement, case materials, and overall packaging, the Snow Star feels value-priced fake IWC in a lot of ways. Just start to think about what strap you’ll want to match it with to meet your lifestyle and personality needs. Price for the reference MIH.02.002 Snow Star Black watch is fake Franck Muller $1,800 USD. Learn more or order via the Milus website here.
