Music Inspired Cards

Here’s something you probably didn’t know: My Mom plays the violin and the piano so I’ve learned how to play the piano a little. I’ve now got extra sheet music laying around that can become craft projects!

My Mom plays in the String Ensemble at the local community college and she asked me to make a couple of cards, one for her instructor and one for the cellist who has a birthday soon.

This is the birthday card (Obviously, it says happy birthday on it. haha) I cut sheet music into circles and layered them with patterned paper onto my card. For the treble clef I printed out an outline and zentangled it.

Here’s the card for her instructor, I hand cut the cello and then drew on the details. I think the bling really makes this card. It wouldn’t be the same without it. 😉

Fun fact: One of the few songs I know how to play on the piano is the Star Trek 2009 theme song. It’s epic and makes me want to watch the movie!

Can you play an instrument?

Make it Monday

I can't play an instrument. I loved the 2009 Star Trek movie. We saw it three times in the theater. The song is epic! Are you excited about the next movie?

I can only play a small part of the song, but it is indeed epic! I'm so excited for the new movie!
