Music In Memory

 
Music In Memory was created using Sarah of Hungry Hill Dreamerie kit. This pay to use kit can be purchased here.
 I must say I have worked with several of Sarah's kits now and this one is my all time fav. As soon as I opened this kit I saw several tags I wanted to make. At this time I only have one to show. The others will come soon I'm sure. Thanks a bunch Sarah for letting me use your kit.
