Country Livin’ Guitar
For Christmas this past year I surprised my husband with a guitar.
He’s talked about learning to play so I gave him that chance.
He’s been doing online classes and is doing quite well.
He’s not a country music fan but he learned a Kenny Chesney
song for our niece, Kelly and lots of fun songs for the
grand kids and great nephew.
I’m not a big country music fan either but I do like
Blake Shelton, so Tony is learning a Blake song for me.
So today’s card is to tell him how amazing he is!!!
It’s a pretty simple card — I used the Country Livin’
stamp set and Moroccan Nights designer paper.
