Just Us Girls #831 -- WORD Week

Join us! It is WORD week at Just Us Girls.  The Paper Players.  Vicki is challenging us to be inspired by the word PLAY.   The card above was triggered by the card below.  

I make so many cards for different organizations that I try to use every "fun" item I come across. The front of the card below is from a used US stamp sheet featuring Elvis.  The back was slick in order to hold stamps, but covering it with Scortape made it easy to apply to a card base. I added a white embossed sentiment and a few glittery stars. Fun, right? 

It occurred to me that Elvis was "playing" a guitar. This thought led me to playing records! I used to have 100s of albums and loved to play records. The turntable dies are from the now-gone My Favorite Things (as are the other elements of the card). I used glossy black cardstock for the record, and a scrap of fun DSP for the album label. A simple stamped sentiment and a few more glittery stars finish the card.  I made 6 duplicates for donation.
