I started with a large blue envelope and created a blue card to fit inside. I found this wonderful music paper in my stash (donation from my sister) so I trimmed out a piece for my background. I trimmed this sparrow photo from a calendar page (photo calendar from my sister) added some rows of paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel and then mounted it onto black cardstock. I added a strip of black cardstock below to which I had tied three little pieces of ribbon and a chalk board greeting with little white brads. Therese
