Sing Your Own Song

Daring Cardmakers Day today, and this week Jane's back to set the challenge. She's asked us to find our inspiration in all things musical, so musical instruments, song lyrics, pieces of music - as long as there's a musical link anything goes. Recently most of my projects have involved using masses of papers and loads of colour. so for a change I decided to keep the design really crisp and simple. There's even lots of "white space! shock horror! I used some clipart to make the piano keyboard strip; I needed to alter it to get the right size - - I had to call on hubby to help with that bit, it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. I printed that bit on glossy photo card to get the right look for the piano keys (yes, I know that might be considered a tad "over the top", but there you go!) I then printed the wording on a strip of regular card and matted the keyboard onto that. I used another clipart for the piano - it was far too complicated to make the sort of layered Robo template I usually made, so I just blacked the whole lot out and cut it as a silhouette. The little pewter heart charm came ffrom a US online store "A Charming Place", the ribbon from Ribbon Oasis, the rub-on letters are Maya Road. Yesterday morning I drew the winner of the little accordion album I made for Bubbly Funk Kits last week The book will be on its way to its new owner, Lisa Hemmings asap - I do hope she enjoys filling it up with her own bits and pieces. All for today, now I need to go and finish off some of the half-done projects piled up next to my desk. Does anyone else have phases where lots of things get started, but nothing seems to get finished? I bet you're all much more disciplined that me and you always see a project right through to the end before starting something new. Did I ever mention that my Hubby calls me "Kathy Half-Jobs"? lol
