Music Swap :)
Hi friends! My blog is acting st-ra-nge today! But here goes! These two cards are from my wonderful friend Paola's swap over at the SCS called "What music are you?" I knew instantly that I wanted to incorporate my love of music and my faith and then thought of Josh Groban (I <3 Josh!!) and then it all sort of made sense - The Prayer by Josh Groban and Celine Dion! I had quite a time with this card, and this is actually attempt #5- I changed colors, dsp, cardstock, even the image several times and it just wasnt' quite right. Even now, in hindsight, I realize there are things I still need on this one - like sponge daubing around Hanna ;) We learn along the way, right? Prayer is a wonderful tool - I use it daily!
For my 2nd spot, I wanted something fun and upbeat and this song has always been a favorite - you hear it and hum it for the rest of the day! Find it on Youtube and give it a try - "Mama Said" is very catchy! Of course, The Shirelles are singing more about a boy, but I *borrowed* the line for this card - showing a tired, busy mom of 3 .... from Stampin'Bella. This is so me - I guess the 4th is still at home, or in the minivan - lol! I showed it to my dh and he didn't get it ...... he said "hmmm, I like it" and when I asked if he got it, he said no, not really, ROFL! Maybe another tired, busy, overwhelmed mom will? ;) TFL!!! This was such fun, once I got rolling! :)
