Inside card, I have a picture of Elvis from 1956 when he recorded Love Me Tender.
So mom, you are not forgotten nor is Elvis!
At the graveside, we played Crying in the Chapel by Elvis.We also played his Amazing Grace. She passed away two years ago at 98.
Thx for the memories, Sabrina!

Oh, what a moving backstory to this. And, I'm so glad you brought Elvis. I actually had found an Elvis teapot as one of the ones I might have used, but except in exceptional circumstances I don't really like to use more than two teapot images. The acetate with music makes a wonderful overlay over the kraft, and the hearts pick up on "Love me tender" so well.

Oh Kathy this is FAB!! I really love the bg...wow and of course Elvis (the younger) was quite the hunk (I have that same stamp!). How sweet that you played that at your mom's graveside.

I just love the gold you have in the background. Makes the Elvis image really pop forward. I can tell how much your love your mom and miss her!!! Big hugs!

Oh ya...dear sweet Elvis, Awesome story, I loved so many of his songs, he had a very sweet spirit, so sad he got so messed up and died so young, I think he would be about 82 now, and I bet he would still be singing!!

Oh my goodness, I LOVE Elvis! A wonderful backstory, and a terrific card design! I'm lovin' the gold music score and the white hearts on the paper - a perfect frame for the King!
