Hi, this card was inspired by MariLynn's card the Lighthouse to use music on a card. I love the hymn Amazing Grace. It was my mom's favorite, too. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it!

Gorgeous! Love the deep purple embossed background paired with the sheet music, flowers and butterflies. Your nestie panels look fabulous with your bold sentiment.

What better music to use than Amazing Grace...I love it, too. Your old piece of sheet music was the perfect addition. Lovely, lovely card!

Linda, how very moving your card is, and your story. I have a music box that plays this tune, and every time I smile to think of the last verse, "when we've been there 10,000 years, bright shining like the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise, than when we first begun". Thank you for sharing your work and your heart. Hugs....
