365 Cards - Paper Weaving

Today is Monday. And you know what that means! Another crazy 365 Cards Challenge! The challenge for today is paper weaving. I will admit, when I read that on my DT sheet I wanted to climb through the computer and strangle Pam with paper scraps! From the time I was an elementary school child I have despised paper weaving. I won't even do a craft with my kids that requires it! How could she?! I really was unhappy with the challenge. But, like the good DT member that I am, never breaking the rules, or rebelling (who's laughing?!), I did the challenge. And it turned out FAB-U-LOUS! If I do say so myself! Pam is ALWAYS right. Must admit it.

For further inspiration for this challenge I used the September CropStop card sketch. (I think the sketches come from the PageMaps site.)

The paper I used is from a Making Memories 6x6 pad that I found in my stash. (I shopped out of my stash this past week and found many treasures!) I think this is the Boho Chic Lauren pack that I bought at Big Lots some time ago. I simply cut the two patterns into strips and wove them. I glued the whole mess to a sheet of white cardstock and trimmed it up before matting it with the blue.

I used the same blue to cut circles with the Spellbinders circle dies. I crumpled the circles and sanded them a bit before stacking them to make my embellishments. I found a scrap of cotton fabric for a bow, and a button for an accent. The stamps on the greeting are Hampton Art and Stampin' Up.

OK, weave away folks!
