Music and beauty

Hi!

Today begins Midweek Papercraft Party (9) over on the Handmade Harbour blog. This week's theme "Something Pretty".

In addition to create "Something Pretty", I was also inspired by the Hope You Can Cling to Challenges over on Splitcoast Stampers, specifically HYCCT1301B. The Challenge Title: Courage and Strength and the challenge was to create a card that shares courage and strength with either the color red or orange or a mixture of both.

For these challenge, I combined two of my favorite things, music and nature. Along with my favorite color RED.

Stamps: Stampabilities Composer's Dream, Handmade Harbour 140 rose digital stamp
Paper: CTMH White Daisy
Ink: CTMH Ruby, Palette Noir Black

I love how music can be used to convey so many different things. In fact, one of my favorite shows is "Music and the Spoken Word", it plays on BYUtv.

The program shows the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing hymns.

For your enjoyment, this is one of my favorite hymns that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings.



If you have a chance to play along we'd love to see what you create for this week's Midweek Papercraft Party.

If you would like to create something for this challenge using the beautiful rose stamp from Handmade Harbour, you can find 140 rose digital stamp HERE.

Happy Crafting,

Fave songs of the 90's

Hi!

Today I was watching VH1 and they had a show on about the Top 100 Hits of the 90's and it reminded me of some of my faves.

So I thought I'd share. One of us is my #1 fave, #2 is Who Will Save Your Soul
Jewel ~ Who Will Save Your Soul?


and #3 is 3am
matchbox 20 3am


Don't worry I'm only sharing my top 3 faves with you.

My biggest pet peeve is being bombarded by music on blogs. And not being able to find where they are coming from is my 2nd pet peeve. This way I can still share the music I like but you can choose to either click on it or not.

Happy Crafting.

King of Pop is Dead

Hi!

I don't know if you heard or not but Micheal Jackson has passed. As a child
born in the late '70's and growing up in the '80's he had a lot of influence on
the music world in my lifetime.

This is a video with the late Micheal and his little sis Janet.

The pressure has now stopped for Micheal.

Rest in peace.

Music

Hi!

I love music. I appreciate that my taste may be different from
someone else and that's why I personally don't believe in having
a radio that blares when you come to visit my blog.

If I find a song is needed for something like a post then I just add
the video and feel that you my readers can use your own discretion
as to whether or not you would like to listen to that song.

While I visit others out there in the blogosphere, I am persistently
bombarded with songs. And that's when I attempt to find where the
music is coming from and pause it.

Trust me that's a lot harder then you might think. Especially if it's a
blog where someone has buttons and such on both sides of their blog page.

So here's my advice for anyone that feels that this is necessary and
beneficial to their blog.

Please put your radio button closer to the top so that those of us who
although we would like to visit your blog may actually just enjoy the
peace and quiet. After all not everyone shares my taste in music and
if I did add that button that's what I would do for anyone interested
in visiting so that they can use their own discretion.

Oh and I know it's been a while since I posted a card so I will make
some before the weekend is up and post them here for you.

Happy Crafting.
