Music Speaks




There 's a new challenge at Time Out starting today with a theme of Playing MusicThere are so many ways you can interpret this theme! You might be inspired by playing an instrument, listening to the radio or recorded music, singing, sheet music, a favorite song, or even music from a film — anything connected to music is welcome.

Whatever inspires your project, please be sure to tell us about it in your post. We can’t wait to see what you create!... use your imagination and come play with us!

We are generously sponsored by Gina K. Designs with a $25.00 store credit for our winner. Thank you, dear Gina K, for your continued support of Time Out Challenges!

We are joined by Cindy Chiu of Escape To Stamping as Guest Designer, and winner of Challenge #308. Check out her FABULOUS card on the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can link to Cindy's blog and get all the details of her creation. 

The other day I ran across THIS video by Laurafadora and used her SSS Spring Birds card as inspiration for my card for this challenge. I used Guitar Hero Stamps from Funky Fossil Designs (retired) and created a slimline card with a row of rainbow colored guitars.

Please head on over the the Time Out Challenge Blog and join us in the gallery. Create something with a musical theme for your project! I can't wait to see where your imagination takes you!

  9. I love me a good rainbow card. I love me some guitars. Putting the two together is genius and works wonderfully. Such a cool idea, Stephanie and just perfect for a musician! Now I want to see some of my favorite guitarists playin those colored guitars.... B.B. King, Brian May, Frank White (yeah, you'll never have heard of him!), Dave Gilmour, Allan Holdsworth, and I have to throw in Peter Tork. Not cos he was a great guitarist, but I did have a heck of a crush on him!
    Thank you for taking me down that lane in my memory!
    hugs
