Lisa here as your hostess for this weeks WTUI challenge.
Growing up I learned to play as many musical instruments as I could get my hand on. I learned to play piano by listening to my sister practice and going in and watching her. She would leave and I would spend hours playing everything that she had played. Then my mom started playing and one day I walked in the room and played the same pieces I had just heard my mom play. Then when I got to choose an instrument to play in school I chose violin. By the time I got to high school I had picked up trombone, baritone and voila. When my little guy got to chose his school instrument he decided he wanted to play trumpet. So what do I do? Yes you guessed it, I picked up the trumpet and started playing showing him yes I can play that too. I am not entirely sure how I can pick all these up and learn in a couple of weeks but music just moves me.
This week we are making cards that have music in them. Play your favorite song and be moved by it and create a card with music.
Here's a link to our WT518 Music Moves Me gallery. Music Moves Me

Once in a great while, things just work out! I was doing a card for a PTI challenge when I saw your challenge, Lisa....and the challenges meshed. Thanks!
Even though I LOVE music, & love this challenge, it started out a bit rough! I have 1 music related stamp & 1 music related EF. So when I saw this challenge at 12:04am, I decided I wanted to use the stamp, but struggled with how to use it. After a crazy night of much interrupted sleep (my son's a volunteer firefighter & the radio kept going off!), I woke up this morning with the sentiment stuck in my head and voila! My card was born! So, here it is:
How fortunate you are to have the gift of playing so many instruments untaught! Hope to find a little time later today to play in this fun challenge. Bet this will be a great gallery!

I used a line from a favorite song of mine performed by Tony Bennett as I grew up near San Francisco- and stamped a Skyline from Hambo, adding my own details with markers. Created a sponged sky, mostly left white as it's usually foggy in SF when I visit Here's I Left My Heart
