When Paris Was a Woman

When I saw the current challenge at Creative Card Crew with the Theme of "Song Inspired", I knew I wanted to play along.  I am SUCH a big lover of all music.  I grew up in the 70s, and I found that generation to be very influenced by music.  I grew up playing piano, and later learned the flute, piccolo, oboe, and clarinet.  I was also in the choirs and small vocal ensembles in Jr. High School and High School.   Music was a BIG part of my life, and influenced me greatly.

I decided to choose the song, When Paris Was a Woman, and to use the mini vintage scraps from Crafty Secrets on my card.   I still needed a couple more cards for my friend, Johannah's, order.  She loves all things Paris, Eiffel Tower, shabby, vintage, etc., so I know she will enjoy this.  She really didn't want sentiments on her cards either.  Her specifications, and SHE IS the customer, after all.  I want to make HER happy.  Right?

So, here is my card:


And here are the links to the two challenges I mentioned above that inspired this card:

Before I go, I wanted to mention what an AWESOME company Crafty Secrets is.  The staff I've encountered are courteous, warm and generous.  It's rare to find such sweet and giving people, so I just wanted to give them a big SHOUT-OUT.

Have a blessed day!

  7. Gorgeous creation! I'm just like your friend - I don't like sentiments on my cards, either. I tend to leave them wordless because I've always been a writer, so I'd rather write my greeting inside :) Also, if you have an unexpected event, you can just pick any card & wa-lah . . . it's perfect!

    Lots of joy!
