Double D Challenge - Music Theme

I made most of these last cards for challenges ahead of time as I knew that we would be traveling again. We just came back from Ireland and Scotland.  My hubby has been to Ireland, but this is my first time there. I can tell you that a 17 day bus trip is not for us. But we saw many amazing sights and met new friends. Next bus trip will be shorter. We are too old! 

This is the inspiration board that Diane did for us. 

This is the prize

My card made long before I knew that MFT was going out of business. 

Boy I guess that I used more of their stamps and dies than I thought. 

Here is another card using the bunnies.
