"Soar" and some Exciting News!!!

This week at "City Crafters" the challenge is "Up, Up and Away 

using the inspiration photo

and a hot air balloon or balloons.

I love the City Crafter challenges and used to play every week, 

but lately haven't had time to join in.

I was super excited that "this week" I had a few "free" days so I could participate!

I had so much fun with this colorful and cheerful card.

I had a couple of my hot air balloon stamps in mind to use

but had a few errands to run and stopped in at Michael's to see what was "new".

While walking through the aisles I noticed a clearance section, and in it

were these adorable Pebbles felt hot air balloons!!

I think it was meant to be as it was the only package left!!

My background paper is from SU I have had for a few years and it's the

first time I have used it...loved how it had the clouds and little houses on it.

I added some rick rack top and bottom and thought it still needed "something"

so added the twine bow. It still "lacked", so I decided to stamp a sentiment on

a cloud die (Impression Obsession) and while looking through my stamps I found

a set from Prima with the word "Soar".

I think this would make a fun grad card!!

Now for "my" exciting news!!!
