Welcome to the 75 Creative Card Challenges blog hop! Today I'm lucky enough to help promote this special issue along with some amazing designers.
If your mojo is nowhere to be seen, if you love challenges, if you would like to stretch your supplies and try some fun techniques... Then, believe me, you need this issue (you can get your copy here).
And what else could we do in this blog hop but giving a try to one more card challenge? One as fun as the other 75 you'll find in the issue...
...use song lyrics on a card.
Because I love music, I really struggled to decide which song to choose. Some were out of the game because the lyrics were, let's say, not very appropiate. Others, as much as I love them, where so easy that I thought it would be almost like cheating ("Hello, goodbye" by The Beatles or "You are my sunshine").
But then I remembered one of my favorite songs. One that I love in two different versions, the original and a modern one. Want to try and guess it?
Here is my card:
Get it?
It's "You were always on my mind", first by Elvis, later by Pet Shop Boys. I adore both. Here's the PSB version :)
So, how about winning a copy of this awesome issue? Leave me a comment -maybe you can tell me about your favorite music for crafting?- until Tuesday, January 15th and I'll pick a winner after that date. Also, once you're done blog hopping, don't forget to stop at the Paper Crafts Connection. They have a prize up for grabs too!
Your next stop is the blog of no other than one of my stamping idols and bold geometrical designs queen, Laura Bassen.
And here's the complete list of the hop:

What a creative way to show Always on My Mind - that is Awesome! As much as I love music I don't listen to it while I am crafting - I always have it quiet in the house. Maybe I should try listening to music - it might enhance my creativity - lol.
