Rock and Roll Venus from the Idols and Icons Series of buckles was my inspiration. I showcased my ELVIS stamps and also used Cuttlebug star embossing folders to create this homage to *THE KING*! The background uses the *REMEMBER* stamp from the SU set DEFINE YOUR LIFE. In actuality I was much more of a Beatle's fan and a Tiger Beat reading teeny bopper but when CHF came out with these ELVIS stamps I thought they were very cool! And just to be *practical* I made this a thank you card! (as if any of us are practical with our hordes of supplies, right???!!!!) Thanks Stef for the great inspiration, I am so happy to play it has been MONTHS I think since I have done this wonderful challenge! Enjoy the weekend one and all and thank you for looking!!!

Nancyruth..you just made my heart melt this morning. Love this image of "The King" You did such a great job featuring it on your card. That embossing folder is jut great to surround him. I'm a Tiger Beat reader also...Donny Osmond pictures were on my bedroom wall...but I used to love to watch old Elvs movies with my mom on TV on the weekends and I fell in love with him too.
