Paper Yummies: Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge

Happy Memorial Day! I hope everybody is having a safe and enjoyable long weekend. Today kicks off a new Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge. And since it's the 4th week of the month, the theme is:

That's right - it's a photo inspiration challenge! And here is the inspiration:

This photo really threw me for a loop. I've been thinking about this one for weeks, and nothing really "clicked". I was inspired buy that cool blue piano, but wasn't sure how to translate that to paper. I wanted to mimic the piano keys, so I got a little creative with my stamps to make this paper yummy:

I used two of the banner stamps from Circle of Honor to create the piano keys, and I think it turned out pretty darn cool! I had this idea in my head for awhile, but I was totally lost on the sentiment. Then my friend Laura said "how about 'just a note'?" She's some kind of genious. It's so simple, and so perfect! I used the Alphadot set to create the sentiment. Since I don't have a PS set with a music note on it, I also used Alphadot to create the music notes. They were a combination of letters, numbers, and dots. I finished off the card with some baker's twine and an orange button:

I'm really excited to see how other people interpret this photo! You can play along with the challenge here. You have until next Sunday, June 3 at 11:59 PM EST to play along. The winner will receive a $30 credit to the Paper Smooches store!! And don't forget the check out the rest of Team 2's wonderful creations, and give em' some love!

Thanks so much for looking!
