Party Ensembles Week: Day 5

And here we are, just like "that," at the end of our week-long party within a party--our celebration of the moxitastic book publication from Paper Crafts magazine, Party Ensembles.


But hang on, it's not time to sweep up the streamers just yet. I've got another sneak peek for you, and Holly's got her own little party goin' on over on Paper Crafts Connection--but more about that in a bit.

For now, I've got this yum of a party from the uber talented Melissa Phillips for all of us crafty types, the All Girl Craft Night Party found on pages 166-167:


Oh my goodness! How sweet is this? From the color scheme to the shabby chic layers to the sewing theme to the gorgeous ribbon treatments to the spools of thread to the roses to the buttons...

Yes. I'm drooling.

And just think. The inspiration for this party and 137 others could be yours. Just leave me a comment by midnight EST on Sunday, March 4 and I'll draw one random lucky to begin a drool-fest all of his or her own.

But wait! There's more! Lest you were worried that we neglected to include a challenge surrounding the whole partying nature of this book, be sure to visit Paper Crafts Connection for your chance to wow us with a paper crafted party of your own!

All party pooped!
