Rock Me Amadeus

For Gingersnap creations this week's random challenge is a "Tribute to Teens" GC115. Come visit this great group and see all my fellow Ginger DT's creativity. You can play with us too and add your creations in the challenges. Ok, well this piece is out of my norm of pretty Victorian things, but hey I did come of age in the 70's. I graduated both high school and college during that time and, oh the rock and roll stories I could tell!

This collage was based on paper and embellishments I had from DCWV. I used these originally when my daughter was in high school for her  and her friends birtday cards. Who knew I would use them again so many years later, but as you can see I didn't get rid of them either. LOL. Some glittter hearts, a german scrap pair of wings, rhinestones and Stickles was all I need to make this. I distressed the edges and hand doodled the interior. The sentiment says it all.... "Rock Me".

Hope you will have a "rocking " good week.
take care, gerri

    Love the theme, along with the execution, but your background strikes me as pure genius. Where do you come up with all your wonderful ideas?
    So nice to be able to stop by and have a chance to catch up a bit.
    Heading back into town later on today,
