     I’ve had so much fun creating cards for the current Time Out Challenge: Inspired by Your Favorite Movie that I made two more last night. Now need to get them posted and entered before the deadline this AM.

     This is the first of the two, inspired by Elvis Presley movies! I remember watching my first Elvis movie on a B&W TV in the living room of a motel my parents managed in a small South Dakota town in the mid-1960s. I am not sure of the name of this first movie, but after doing some web research, I think it was  “Kissing Cousins.” My young mother was a major Elvis fan, so I remember watching many Elvis movies over the years. When doing the web research, I remember many of them, some by specific songs in the movies that became top hits for Elvis. (You can find that information in a listing of all 31 of Elvis’ movies HERE.)  This card features an adorable digi and background music score that are both influenced by all things Elvis!!

     I’m entering this card into several challenges, including Passion for Markers Challenge: 3-2-1 GO! (My card includes one digital image, two patterned papers, and three embellished hearts).

Supplies: 

·   Digi- The Paper Shelter (My Elvis Teddy Bear)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pen

·   Background- Sheet Music- Freebie (Can’t Help Falling in Love with You)

Although it looks like artist Sherri Baldy now mainly sells her art via coloring books and Patreon memberships, she has a limited number of digis available so I added her webshop link in my supplies list.
