Kim of Paper Smooches has challenged us to make a cardstock only card or project - no patterned paper allowed. This challenge is right up my street as I use cardstock far more often than patterned paper especially when paper piecing. I also wanted to make a birthday celebration card so I could play along with CAS-ual Fridays. It's their first birthday and the new design team are making their debut so there's a lot of fun stuff going on over there! My original idea did not cooperate with me so I regrouped, played around a bit and came up with this. I love that cute jukebox and it totally makes me think PARTY so I pulled out some colourful Bazzill, Paperbilities and Stampin' Up cardstocks and paper pieced my little heart out! 
Cardstock: (White, light grey) Bazzill, (Yellow) Paperbilities, (Rose Red, Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Sentiment from Pretty Phrases, Jukebox & music notes from Perpetual Bliss, Other music notes from My Peeps and Santa Paws) Paper Smooches
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

What a fun birthday card. And, I love the sentiment you chose. I have that one, too. I especially like the sunburst with musical notes behind your juke box.
