MUSIC SPEAKS

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week so far has been a good one.  Mine has been one of those where time seems to be flying by far too fast!

Today is our youngest son's birthday.  The son who lives local to us and is trying hard to pursue a music career alongside his student support work at the local college.

My day started with our normal birthday routine where I arrive at his good and early armed with a warm bacon sandwich, a packed lunch for his dinner break and his pressies and birthday cards.  I then give him a lift to work.  

So a morning when he doesn't have to make much effort!  Lucky lad!!!

This was his card for this year:




This used:

Image:  Visible Image "Music Speaks"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Craft Sensations "Pastels"
Distress Ink Pad:  Spiced Marmalade 
Green Embossing Powder
Twine
Musical Charm
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is it.

Our son loves his music and spends every waking hour composing, listening or dreaming about it (a bit like me with my crafting LOL!!). 

His music went alongside this really interesting video where 12 calligraphers wrote psalms throughout the evening in a cathedral in Saint Petersburg last year. 

I love the video so much and have watched it so many times, completely in awe of  the immense talent shown by everyone.  How they can write so beautifully and accurately in the first place amazes me .. .. let alone do it with a camera inches away from them!!  My hands would be shaking like billy-o!

Anyway, that is me for today.  Best crack on with that "must do" list before another day disappears in the blink of an eye!

Have a good one everyone.

    A super card Jules, perfect for your musical son. You are a kind Mother, spoiling him on his Birthday, I hope he has a great day.
    I'm playing catch up at the moment, I have just about finished the major sort out in my craft room.

    Mu goodness Jules what beautifully haunting music your son has composed, for that wonderful video. It sounded so much like Russian Orthodox music but with a modern twist. I loved it. You must be so very proud of him. The calligraphy is amazing, I would love to be able to write like that.
    Anyway, on to your card... it is perfect for a musician, I love the images and your design, your son will love it. Hope he had a fantastic birthday, Kate x

    It's still nice to spoil them even when they grow up! You made a wonderful card for your Son, I love everything about it
    I went to the video to have a listen and ended up watching the whole way through, I did calligraphy for a while and it's so hard - there are some very talented people and the music was perfect, you are right to be proud

    Good old Mum!! What a treat for your Son on his Birthday, bacon sarnies, a packed lunch and a sensational card with such a fabulous message too. You must be enormously proud of your Son, what a beautiful piece of music, it compliments the mesmerising footage of those calligraphers perfectly xx
