Judy mentioned that she was in the middle of a musical opening when she gave us the challenge to use either our High School colors or Wedding colors. I thought it ironic about the musical. My teenage daughters have been practicing all summer for our towns youth theatre musical "FOOTLOOSE". The show opens tonight. We were thinking last night that we needed to make thank you cards for the director, costume designer, set designers and all the other ladies who have volunteered over 150 hours this summer to bring this production together. I used my computer to make a stand up folded card to resemble the theatre. You can see a glimpse of the theatre in this link: http://www.keokukgrandtheatre.org/home.html
The theatre has purple and gold as a theme. I first thought that I would alter the challenge to be my college colors which were purple and gold, but I decided I already had the challenge police looking for me after my sketch card this week. So I went with my High School's colors. Prescott High School- Blue and Gold.
What do you think of my card?
EDITED: I didn't like how my first card looked. Too much of a perfectionist. I redid it. I couldn't think of a way to use staples, clips or photo corners so I used brads instead. I guess I was destined to have the challenge police after me.

What a fun thing to be playing in a musical! I wish... Lovely theatre MariLynn. Love the colours and the look of the facade of it, looks pretty much like it. You're not good, you're excellent. What a beautiful work of art my dear friend. TFS
