Love of Music is the KEY to Success

Hi Everyone

I got really excited with the

 More Than Words November Challenge

With the Word - 'Success' and 'Key' to be used within the layout. 

Looking through my photos I came across this wonderful photo which just screamed the

Love of Music is the KEY to Success.

I used 49& Market paper Vintage Remants Paper #9 as the background and Paper #2 for some of the music notes and the background strips. I stamped the background with a music notes stamp to highlight the the music theme.  

I did not add any texture to the paper as I thought there was enough texture and background colours on the paper and I thought to add further texture would make it to busy. 

I tried out my new machine the Silhouette Cameo 4 where I cut the music notes and symbols to add to the music theme. 

The chipboard in the background was from a 3 Quarter Designs paper pack I had which just fitting in well with the brick bohemian look. The Hinge and Key are from Dusty Attic

These little photos are close ups of the page - showing the chipboard, music notes and the music paper used in the background.

Hope you have enjoyed the layout and 

hope you all have a wonderful crafting day

gold on the black was a little bit of a challenge.
