Die Cuttin' Divas Music in Our Schools Month Challenge


Both of my daughters were in band in High School and I had the opportunity to attend many wonderful concerts!!

I feel that music in our schools is so important. Music, in general, adds so much to our lives. When our children have the opportunity to enrich their lives by learning to play an instrument, it is wonderful.

This week over at Die Cuttin' Divas we are having a "Music in Our Schools Month" challenge.








I dusted off my Cricut and pulled out my Groovy Times cartridge to make a card for this challenge.










Supplies used: card stock -  white, 2 shades of blue, yellow, orange, grey, mettalic greay, black; brads - my stash; Groovy Times Cricut cartridge; Feelin' Groovy stamp set - Pink By Design.


Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.
