Music Is Life Blog Hop

Welcome to the Music is Life Blog Hop





We sang our ABC's as children loud and off key!
We rocked out in our bedrooms with our friends to our favorite tunes.
We slow danced awkwardly to that memorable ballet with the boy we crushed on. We walked down the isle in to the wedding march as we married the man of our dreams. We sang a sweet lullaby to our babies as we rocked them to sleep. We sing our favorite songs as we drive the kids to school, annoying them the whole way! Yes, music is Life! It's everywhere in our lives!
Join us as we celebrate the wonderful Life of Music!!

Here is my Kinder layout I did for the Blog Hop.

 My son is not in 6th grade, but I need to get caught up on his school layouts.  I used some retired CTMH paper and Chipboard Letters. 
  For the title I inked the letters with blue ink and added liquid glass on the top then sprinkled glitter on top of that, sure was messy, glitter has been all over since then. 
I also added some Cranberry ribbon to some of the letters!
