Music Fueled Art

I got out all my Itty Bitty Unity stamps tonight and was playing an old Bangles greatest hits CD, and this card just came together sort of all on its own.  I used to looooove The Bangles.  My very first tape that wasn't a cassingle (who else remembers those???) was The Bangles.  Ah, memories!

Star Wars Day = Out of My Comfort Zone!

Happy Force Friday!  I'm the first to admit that I'm NOT a Star Wars fan.  I don't understand the Jedi, I don't get the Sith, and I certainly don't get why Yoda talks backwards.  BUT I totally respect that some people do, and as the sister of a huge SW fan, I've made my share of SW crafts.  Had the idea for this one literally in the last hour.  LOVE how it turned out!!!

**SKETCH** New Challenge from The Craft Garden!!

I'm a few days late on this, but it's here!!  Our new challenge has started at The Craft Garden and our theme is this lovely sketch:

This was a real struggle because, to me, it definitely looks more like a scrapbook sketch and I'm almost exclusively a cardmaker (at the moment--I change that up from time to time :D).  I literally pulled a stamp out of a box and decided to build my card around it.
