Day 365 - Musical Monday

Wow, here we are at Day 365.  And it is a bittersweet day for me, as we welcome in the new year, because we will say goodbye to our incredible designer, Gloria Stengel.

Gloria has been with us since the very first day - she is one of the original six, and I do believe that she has helped build this blog to what it is today.  She has been wonderful about commenting on participants' blogs and she's created such amazing cards, and it's difficult to imagine her not a part of the team.  But I have no doubt she'll pop in from time-to-time to hang out with us here. 

So let's get to today's challenge and Gloria's final card as a DT member.  I chose one of my all-time favorite songs to inspire the cards for this challenge.  Here are the lyrics:

"Wind Beneath My Wings"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.


So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.


Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.


It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.


Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.


Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.


Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.


Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

And here is a gorgeous final card from Gloria:

Gloria, you are the wind beneath my wings....okay, I'm TOTALLY KIDDING, but I do love ya and wish you nothing but the best!!!  I don't want to steal Gloria's thunder, so pop over to her blog to find out (you might need to scroll down a bit) which manufacturer's DT she just joined - woo hoo!!!

Okay 365ers, are you ready for another year of cardmaking?  You know I always try to shake things up a bit, and this year will not be any different.  Remember, we've got a DT call going on - thanks to those of you who have already submitted your applications - and there's still time to send me an email.  Check out the 365 Cards Extra blog for the details.

See ya back here tomorrow for Day 1...
