Saturday Spotlight Challenge

Hi Everyone!! I hope you are enjoying your weekend!! Boy is it ever chilly here!! It is less than 20 degrees and windy. It feels so cozy to be indoors and look out at the snow. Last night we went to get our tree. Today we get to decorate it!! I must admit that the snow does make everything look more Christmasy. After Christmas is over, I will be ready for it to be gone.

Well Anywho....Today is the Saturday Spotlight and we have another fun challenge for you.

For this week's challenge.....

The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to create something with the music in your soul! What do we mean? What is your favorite style of music? Is it country, rock, opera, Christmas music, or the oldies? Whatever your "music style", show us what it is on your creations! eg: Use a cowboy image for "country music", etc. Perhaps you can just create a "musical masterpiece"....just get creative with it! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

This week's Sponsor is....

One lucky winner from our challenge chosen randomly will win 2 images from the store!!

Here is my creation for this challenge:
I love Christmas carols, singing and playing the piano. Currently my daughter, Nicki is taking piano lessons. I made this card and snow globe for her piano teacher. It is a joke among us that her piano teacher can not hold a tune as far as singing goes. She will just love this card! Teehee! The snowglobe records. Nicki played a Christmas song and recorded it on there.

The image is Belle's Carols from Belles in Whistles! Isn't it just darling!! I love it!
The papers are from DCWV Music Stack. The paper is full of glitter and embossing. The colors of the dp matched the old in color groovy guava. The image is colored in prisma color pencils and gamsol. The layout of my card is taken from Mercy's Sketch this week. Some of the elements added are difficult to see in the picture. Their are glittery silver snowflakes hanging on top of the lace. Their are three musical notes on the top of the card on the right side.

*******************************

This next creation I made for the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge. I so love what this challenge stands for that I had to make a quick card today. I have joined in every challenge so far and just had to do this one as well. I used the stamp Lili's Prayer from Inky Impressions!. The Paper is from Eskimo Kisses. The challenge was to
make a card to let someone know you are praying for them, using images of people (men, women and/or children...angels are okay, too!). I also used the Sketch Saturday layout.







I hope you have enjoyed today's post. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
