A card for my daughter Shelley, who is and always has been my little ray of sunshine even though there have been some dark clouds over the years.I'm so excited about this card - not only do I love the penguin image ( a clear stamp by Imaginisce), but this card sings !!!
Honest it does - it sings the hit song by Leo Sayer 'You make me feel like dancing'. How awesome is that?
I can't wait to see Shelley's face when she opens it. I know she won't see it on my blog cause she is not 'sad' enough to read card making blogs!!! Lol! She spends her hours on Facebook and Guild Wars - enough said!
Years ago a slimming food company sent musical cards out as part of their advertising campaign. I saved the card knowing it would be useful one day. I must admit I had forgotten about it until doing my big craft room clear out.
Anyway, I took apart the card keeping the musical workings intact. As you can see from the photo at one stage my desk looked like I was making a bomb or something.
I put a double layer of foam pads around the mechanism and then attached a card inner.
I stamped a special sentiment for the inside of the card mounted this on a nestability die cut square and attached to the centre.
My card is for quite a few challenges...
I used this fantastic sketch by Dawny at http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/.
It's on the Valentine theme so it's perfect for the challenge at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ and also at http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com/.
Creative Inspirations is a new Challenge Blog and is being run by one of my MSN group buddies, Jude. It's the first challenge this week and there's a great prize up for grabs too so do pop over and have a look.
Jude says...
"The challenge is "Valentine" but you must use the colour "Black"somewhere on your project. So let your creative juices flow and enjoy to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize ."
Last but not least my card is also for the challenge at http://www.mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/ where the theme is 'A little bit of sunshine'.
Shelley is certainly that.
