Just for Fun -- Name that Tune!

Pin It Ok, so when I saw the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays this week, my heart leapt!  A card inspired by a song?  For real??  I knew I had to play along, but what to do??  I have a verifiable smorgasbord of musical genres on my playlist...  almost none of which lend themselves to a greeting card!!
Including the song I eventually chose!!  Haha!
That's right craft fans, I created a card I can't see myself giving to anyone -- at least not anyone I would hope to keep as a friend!!  :)


I just had to go with what I loved -- and I love, Love, LOVE Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts."  This song gets me everytime.  No, it's not a happy song -- it's actually kinda dark....  soooo... I had to try to put a more, ummm... colorful spin on it to make it me!  And I am thrilled with the results! (Even if it is a card that will just sit on a shelf and never be gifted....!)  


And here's the song (for the one or two people on the planet who may not know it!  :)


At any rate, I loved this challenge...  Hopefully, CAS-ual Fridays will do this challenge again sometime and maybe, just maybe, I'll choose Christina's much happier "A Thousand Years" as my inspiration!!  :)

Thanks for stopping by -- I'd love to hear your thoughts!

  2. I love it! I really love the song, too. I remember hearing it for the first time on So You Think You Can Dance two years ago and it was such a hit, she came and performed it live. The video features a couple of dancers from the show. Anyway, your card is lovely. I could think of a couple people I could give it to... :D

  4. I love that song too! I know what you mean about making a card w/ a sentiment that you can't really send anyone! It will be a special story now!

  5. You creative thing, you! Jen, this is a great interpretation of that song! Love the font you chose for the 'sentiment' too.
