I've been Rockin' and Rollin'!

Happy CHA weekend! I cannot wait to see all the neat tools, paper and embellishments that are going to be revealed this weekend! Well, maybe I can wait... The longer I stay away from looking at them, the healthier my bank account will be! lol..  But, do you know how envious of all the people that are there right now??? Many of my friends are there, and thus, it's been so quiet everywhere...  and my hubby is gone on his annual conference right now, so yeah, I'm basically just talking to myself. 

Anyway, so with this time that I had last night, this new kit from SVG Cuts was just calling out my name... What a perfect opportunity to play!  Have you seen it?  It's the 50's collection - Rockin and Rollin SVG Kit - and it has a 3D jukebox, stack of records box, those really cute Kate's silhouettes in 50's style with the poodle skirt... Sooo cute! Love!!  I don't usually just make something the way it was meant to be (I love to alter files) but this, I just HAD to make!

...and guess what papers I used?  That's right - it's the Happy Days from Echo Park!  That just was made for this project!

I wanted to make it a Valentine-y jukebox (just feelin' the love), so here's what I put together :)

The jukebox is the original size as it comes in the kit, and stands almost 7" tall.  You can put tealights or even little candies inside (from the back). 

I just blinged it up a bit with the i-rock mirrors, and Stickles glitter.  I used Twinery twine for the accent border, on girl's ponytail and on her skirt.  Oh, and I had some patterned vellum paper (this one was dots) so I put it through the printer to give it some warm color :)

I was really excited to use this stamp from Unity Stamp Company - it was perfect! It's a stamp from the Love Bug set, and I also used 'xoxo' stamp on the panel area.

This is not the best pic, and couldn't find a tealight, so I stuck a flashlight in the back, but you can see how it looks when it lights up! The top vellum is supposed to show light, too, but it's not so good here.

Anyway, yeah, this file rocks - you've gotta play with it, too! Get it while it's free this week! :)

Thanks for stopping by, and have a crafty weekend!
