From Blues to Bluegrass.....



From Beale Street and Graceland in Memphis to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, music was everywhere I went this past week.  My daughter and I spent a wonderful week in Tennessee.  Not only was the music terrific but so were the people in Tennessee!  Everything you hear about warm southern hospitality is true.  We knew it was going to be a good week when we heard Tim McGraw welcoming us to Nashville over the PA system as we got off the plane at the airport :)  I arrived home in time to play at PPA this week and let the music inspire me as I followed Margaret Moody's sketch. I used Newsprint DSP, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and stamps from Aviary and Picture This.  So Tennessee, it was a wonderful vacation.........(channel Elvis here).......thank you, thank you very much........

Wonderful card Linda! Love how you used the stand. I'm glad you had a great week in TN. We go up to the Nashville area a lot for soccer and it is always a good trip.

"I'm going to Graceland, Graceland, by way of Alabama..." I LOVE these colors. No red or chocolate in sight. :) And since its not a Royal blue, it doesn't look like Mayfield's band colors. LOL.

Lovely colors on this one, this card reminds me of this week's Etsy inspired challenge.
