Love card from CardPatterns Sketch #22

I had some time today to play with Carla's wonderful sketch at CardPatterns. It totally inspired me and the DT's cards were also very inspiring - you girls rock :)


As I made this card today I was watching Michael Jackson's memorial. As I watched this I reflected on my younger years and how much his music was a part of my youth, watching the Thriller video on "Friday Night Videos" which I stayed up until midnight to watch and practicing the dance routine from the video with my friends. Wearing the white sequenced glove to school dances and doing the moon walk - lots of good memories.



My Top 5 Micheal Jackson Songs:

1. 1. Man in the Mirror
2. 2. Pretty Young Thing (PYT)
3. 3. Wanna be Startin Something
4. 4. Rock with You
5. 5. Billie Jean

Favorite Video:

Thriller of course : )

This week I went to see the Fabulous and Very Talented Johnny Reid - I just love this man's music I have dubbed him my Rod Stewart version of Country music - although he shouldn't just be labeled country there is a very pop/folk/jazz and blues feel to his music, and he isn't hard on the eyes!! lol The concert was absolutely one of the best I have been to and he engages the crowd with his energy and his voice is just mesmerizing. LOVE YA JOHNNY!!!!!

Happy New Year!

A brand new year has come and so far I haven't been able to keep one of my resolutions to Blog atleast twice a week! This week the flu bug had other plans for me. But I'm feeling much better now and wanted to share some things. For Christmas my DH bought me the Cricut Expression - WOOT! I have wanted one of these for such a long long time : )






Also for Christmas as a tradition my DH and I Exchange Christmas Ornaments. I couldn't find him one I liked in the stores so I sat down in my craft room and made him one that I knew he would love. My husband is a HUGE Red Sox fan so I had some Red Sox Stickers and made him a one of a kind ornament!

Hope you all had a Happy New Year and I'll be back with some cards to post later today!

I have also included the Christmas card I made for my DH which he also loved!! He said he was going to frame it : ) He is the best!
