In Memoriam... my dad

(At the request of my sister, I took my postings off my blog in December. I am now reposting them.)

(From Monday, December 29, 2014)
A few hours ago, my dad passed away.  He was 96 years old.  I know that he is in a happier place, probably Michigan which was his favorite place to be - on the family land near Hart, in the homestead that he helped build.

My dad was an adventurer, always looking for a new place to see, a new thing to learn.  He wasn't fond of school but was very fond of learning, reading and experiencing life. 

I will miss him.

Musica

 

I had this piece of collage card stock with the word "musica" on it. That is what inspired my card today.  I knew I had some Frantic stamper dies with a music them so I took those out.  Did you know that the small music notes fit the notes on the music score? Awesome!  I cut the music score out of Blue Fireworks holographic card stock by Hot off the Press (When you turn the card side to side, you get a flash.  Its hard to explain but its really neat!)  I cut the music notes out of silver glitter paper and layered the notes onto the score, then glued the score onto my collage paper.

 

 

 

I created a frame for my musica collage with the Fleur de Lis Rectangles by Spellbinders. 

I added tiny white pearls to decorate the edge.  I also used some gold glossy as the mat for my piece.  I embossed it with a handwriting embossing folder.  It added just the right texture for the background.

I added a grosgrain bow and I was done!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my card today!
