APRVSN17G ~ Saturday April, 1st - 2:00 P.M. ~ Fools Who Dream ~ tessaduck

Challenge Title: Fools Who Dream
Hostess: tessaduck (Brenda)
Keyword: APRVSN17G
Date: Saturday, April 1, 2017, 2 P. M. EST

My challenge to you: Take inspiration from the Oscar-nominated song, Audition: The Fools Who Dream, from La La Land.

Imagine: Late 60's, blowing soap bubbles out the window of a Ford Fairlane, bellowing "Carpe Diem, Seize the Day-- Blow Ye Bubbles While Ye May," en route to play in the People's Fountain. That may have been my "Fools Who Dream" event...

I consider myself to be a pragmatic, practical, responsible (boring) person. This memory is precious to me.

Don't worry-- I wasn't driving. However, there was a bottle of cheap wine in the air vent, cooling, for later consumption.

Here's the lyrics: The Fools Who Dream

There's plenty of potential with these lyrics. I'm picturing a get well card from the phrase "She spent a month sneezing..." I can't wait to see what inspires you.

Loved your challenge. Of course saw with word Paris in the lyrics and went for it! LOL
We went on our 25th, and dreamed of getting there on our 50th, but that didn't work. But we will always have the first time!!!

Hi Brenda- this was a great challenge- here is the card I created

Heartfelt Sympathy

tessaduck · 04-01-2017, 04:42 PM

I'm loving the cards that are showing up in the fools who dream gallery. The framed sunset seems to be popular! as well as the Paris connection. I'm still considering painters, poets and plays-- maybe do an art card. or a diva card, for the plays? and what about ripples from pebbles...

annsforte3 · 04-01-2017, 04:47 PM

Or maybe a winter scene...

tessaduck · 04-01-2017, 04:49 PM

Yes! The snow and the Seine...!

annsforte3 · 04-01-2017, 04:54 PM

Winter in Paris by the Seine....

Brenda, you came up with such a marvelous challenge! Oh the possibilities!

Covington Crafter · 04-01-2017, 08:55 PM

APRVSN17G, Life Dreams by joella58 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Shirleysgirl · 04-05-2017, 07:25 AM

Used the "sunset inside a frame line". It just jumped out at me and then I discovered all these little scraps that went together, so this was actually a really quick card.

Awesome cards, all! I had to do another one: APRVSN17G Paris If not for the MISTI, nesties, and a scoring tool, this would never have fit into the time allowance. The fussy cutting took the most time...
