Party!

My DH peeked over my shoulder, saw the "PARTY!", and did one of those dance moves where you put your fists next to each other and move them in a circle.   I had planned this as a guy card.  From DH's reaction, I'd say it will work just fine as a birthday, congratulations, or party invite.  

 

The papers are from the CTMH fundamentals, which are a solid color pre-embossed pattern on one side and a white and colored pattern on the other.  
(I tried to get a good photo of the embossing to show you.)

The frame and PARTY! sentiment*  are CTMH stamps. 
The paper strip weaving might look difficult, but, actually, opening 8 brads and getting them bent so they didn't stick out was even more challenging.

The sketch
 
 is from the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #148, where I'll be entering this card.  A big thanks to the gals there for including my card for last week's challenge in their Top 3.

Here are a few more challenges I'd like to enter:
A Gem of a Challenge # 163 - Boy's Birthday
Allsorts Challenge Week 352 - Sentiment in Focus
Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge - Anything Goes 4 Kids
Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenge #127 - Recycled Scraps (Weaving is a great way to use up paper strips!)
As You Like It Challenge - Favorite Occasion & Why (Birthday parties=Birthday Cake; I love Birthday Cake!)
Moving Along with the Times Challenge - Words Only; No Images


* This sentiment is from the Close to My Heart February Stamp of the Month, Balloon Animals
 
which means you only have 3 more days to order it.  I've made several cards using this set, if you want to do some scrolling downward, or
here's a great Blog Hop list showcasing what 39 CTMH gals made using this set and also the new Share the Love stamp set, another special promotion for February.
