Time to Toot the Horn

After many months, I have decided to get back into the blogging, posting, card making, and scrap booking groove. To go along with that groove, I have decided to begin with a post for this page I put together for the Chris Botti concert we went to last September.


Since this was a live show on a stage with lots of production and it was being taped by PBS, I wanted some spotlights for the page. Since Quickutz didn't have a die or an image for the Silhouette of a spotlight, I found an image with 3 spotlights, cut out 3 with the Silhouette (I just love the outline feature!), and laid them side by side. Doesn't it make a great border?


I also used a couple of metal, brassy pieces I had been saving for... I don't know what. I guess this page exactly.

I wasn't really sure how to frame the pictures until I found some fantastic scraps of gold paper. To borrow from the color scheme of the page, I used some great ivory and black scraps to layer with the gold.

And this pic I took with the digital camera IS Sting, Josh Groban, and Chris Botti getting ready to perform Shape of My Heart. They had to do three times because they kept messing it up.

See you back next week for another post. And in two weeks I will post new cards to Etsy.
TTFN!
