The Cuttlebug Spot - Inspired by a Song

This week at The Cuttlebug Spot we are inspired by songs.  I love all types of music and the other day when I was heading into town to so dome craft supply shopping I was listening to the radio and one of my favorite songs came on and I knew right then what I would do for my card.  The song is by Plain White T's and is called The Rhythm of Love.  Here is the card I created.

On that trip into shop I picked up some gorgeous paper from Echo Park, Be Mine. While at my LSS one of the wonderful ladies, Amy, had done some totally gorgeous cards with this same paper and she had used some black tulle. Well I loved it and had to work some into my card.  So now head over to The Cuttlebug Spot and check out the beautiful creations form the rest of the team.  I hope you have time to play along.

For those of you who are regular readers of my blog know by now that I love to do challenges and sadly this last week I didn't have the time to do any.  So I worked in a few into this card.  First Just Us Girls challenge this week is to make a matching envelope and line it.  Here is a photo of my card with the envelope.
The next challenge is for Simon Says, New Beginnings my card is for new love.  Next is Mark's Finest Papers, Speedy the Cat's challenge  to use embossing.  Then there is Stampin' B's challenge, something old (embossing folder) and something new (paper).  And now for the last challenge Moxie Fab World's challenge, Gray is the new Black.  I really liked this challenge as I love the color combo of pink, black and gray.  Overall I love this card and I rarely say that. 

Finally before I go I would like to say I am sorry that I didn't get anything posted all week. I decided to reorganize my craft room and oh what a mess I had.  Happily things are coming together and I can create again.   Thank you for sticking around to the end of this very long post.
