Grease! Back to the 50’s!!

Thanks for excusing me from blogging recently.  I needed that.     😉

I’m back today with my version of the SCS Free For All F4A5 challenge, The Great White Way.  

RN jukebox 426×530

Huh?!?   That equates to creating something related to a favorite musical … “not” using the tradtional A2 card shape.   Considering the fact that I adore the music from “Grease”, how about this jukebox, ready to play those awesome singles!   Admittedly, my most familiar jukebox was at the “Tiger Drive In” in tiny hometown Oklahoma.  I know the drive-in is there under a different name, but I’m not sure about the jukebox!  LOL

  I’ve added a layer of clear acetate beneath this jukebox, cut to fit the light blue contrasting layer.  The jukebox was heat embossed in black, and partially paper-pieced to give the amplifier fabric a special touch.  Then, 3 “records” were black embossed and popped up beneath the jukebox.  Due to the acetate, I’ve had to “give in” a little on the photo to reduce the glare.  Thus, the black embossing isn’t really showing up … but then, neither is that glare!  hhahahaha …   Give a little, get a little, I suppose.   For my non-tradional shape, I’ve mimicked the jukebox itself, using my CM Cutting System to create the curved top.   Something about this card shouts, clean & simple to me, but I’m sure many peeps would say … oh no … there’s embossing there … so, you get to decide for yourselves! 

Thanks Oooooh-ooooooooooo-ooooooooooooh {as sung by by Olivia Newton-John} so much for your visit, those of you who are still out there!  I’ve given in to “life” a little more, and blogging just a little less lately.  It was/is needed.   Thanks for your visit!
