Monday Mania!

Hello, hello!

I hope all my friends in the States are enjoying this fine Memorial day weekend. I've had a couple of days off which is great because town gets positively crazy this time of year so I like to hole up here at home and avoid the wild, drunken crowds. What can I say... I'm getting old I guess, LOL! ;)

Ok, getting down to business... I've got a card for the wonderful new Monday Mania challenge over at CA&Friends. Amy (crafty amy) is this week's hostess and her challenge is all about creating a card that is inspired by a song. How fun is that?!

Now I've been listening to my Glee soundtracks pretty much non-stop lately so is it any surprise that my card is inspired by one of them? I couldn't have told you who the original artist was until I googled it (Jennifer Paige) because in my mind it will always be tied to my number one show. :)
And as soon as I came across Flirty Edward, from the Roll Call set, in my stamps the whole card just kind of tumbled together and I think it turned out really sweet. Doesn't little Annika just look like she is crushing on that hottie? LOL

I really hope to see a lot of my fellow music lovers play along this week. Remember that the prize is a single TGF rubber stamp of your choice (and the new release will be out by then even)! ;)

See ya in just a bit with my second Simply Betty preview!
