Get Your Party On

 Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Men and Boys.  I am using an image from one of our fabulous sponsors: Sheepski Designs.

 Here is my card:

Oh, my, I just love this image; it's super cute and the little bear looks wiped out from partying!  I created this card for my father-in-law who's birthday was this week.  As soon as I saw this image, I knew I had the perfect sentiment to pair with it.  I ended up using it on the inside as I didn't have enough room to use it on the front of the card.

It is also kind of fitting for my father-in-law as he gets up early and is very active so he goes to bed quite early at night.  I was able to use up some paper scraps on this card: the red, blue and yellow pieces were all scraps.  I actually pieced together the red piece behind the the image and underneath the blue strip--no one will ever know.  I really like how this one came out, I think it is all the black; it really sets off all the different colors.

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!
