365 Cards - I hope you dance

♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥

This is a simple card for the 365 Cards challenge today, I hope you dance is the theme.

This is one of those themes that could take you almost anywhere, isn't it.

I chose the bagpipe player because I have an affinity for pipe music, it is the most moving music I can think of. I chose the ocean as part of the card due to its inclusion in the words to the song, "I Hope You Dance."

Depending on where you live, this is either a sunrise or a sunset ! Either way, Hope for today, or Hope for tomorrow.

Spencer made his first cards today - boy was he proud. They consisted of a piece of vanilla stock run through the Cuttlebug. He put the paper in the folder, and cranked, with just the littlest bit of help. One he made for his Pup, a birthday card, you know the folder. Brie got the Fleur-di-Lis card, I got the Star card, and he kept the Hearts card for himself.

You know, I have the same feeling when I use the Cuttlebug. WOW, look how gorgeous this is, and how talented an artist I am, and it was so easy !!! Spencer was no prouder than I ever am...

  5. One look at your bagpipe player and I immediately got goose bumps... And then I read your text and said, yes, Jan feels the same way about this music as I do. Yesterday evening we were looking at one of André Rieu's concerts (perhaps you've heard of him?) and one of the orchestra's members started playing the bagpipes. I always have to cry, am I a sissy now? Anyway, to make a long story even longer: I love your card!

  6. Bagpipes? I would never have pegged you for a bagpipe music lover. LOL They are pretty cool. Love the torn edges on your photo and its backing piece. Maybe Dom has rubbed off enough on Spencer that he recognized who deserved "star" billing. Hee hee
