Music Is Art B/W

Inspired by Crafty Ann's Challenge # 8 (Music) along with Just Buggin's Challenge #25 (B/W) and Charisma Cardz Challenge Week 7 (Sketch)

I used CB Allegro folder for the 1st time (I Love it!!!!) I embossed it onto glossy card stock..an idea I got off the Cricut MB (thx very much).  I embossed the center strip w/ UTEE and made flower w/Home Accents cart.  Oval cut and embossed w/CB using Nestabilities.

Inside sentiment:  "Just A Note"

Thanks to all of you for your challenges and inspiration...and for looking!

Distressed Time 2 Get Well

Used K&Company papers, TH distress inks, distress stickles, GS cart for Time and clocks, All Mixed Up for the '2' and BB for get well...sketch by CPS...

Challenges:
Get Well Soon - Creative Card Crew
Time - Tuesday Taggers

**Honestly..cannot believe that I almost failed to mention the 'glossy accents'... one of my faves to use... it's hard to see in the pic but the 2 and the clock hands are covered with glossy accents and also not noticeable in pic but words 'Time' and 'Get Well' are popped... **

ThankU4Music

I wanted to make a thank u for my best friend who had taken me to a concert for my b-day... so, naturally I wanted it musically delicious... I struggled with the music paper and in the end made my own..(xerox copy of sheet music and a lot of distressing makes for some really good musical patterned paper)..  Embossed with CB swiss dots & floral screen...sentiment off BB and although hard to see in pic the words are slightly standing and that was thanks to applying a little glossy accents behind lettering... (i luv glossy accents)... also used a fiskars border punch & MM eyelets... TFL!
