When Words Fail Music Speaks

Thanks for stopping by my page. Today I am posting my first ever challenge. Thanks to the Heart2Heart Challenge "Old is New" I went into my stash of stuff and pulled out a Shadow Box Frame and Stamp set that I have had since 2013. It was one of those things that I bought at a Paper Crafting convention where I saw a really cool idea and thought "I can do that!" However,  by the time I got home and had time to actually do it. The inspiration was gone.  So with this challenge I pulled it out, found the sample again, when to my stash of CTMH papers and adapted it to my own. (This will actually hang in my music room which are the same colors as the the Yuletide Paper) Below is the finished project with links to the the supplies that I used.  Enjoy!
