Balloons Challenge

It's a new challenge at Double D today and our theme is
'BALLOONS'

Look at the pretty AND bright mood board we have
to inspire you with...FUN!!



I toyed with the idea of stamps/dies and regular balloons/hot air balloons.

But then I remembered I had just purchased this fun 
Animal Party Bus die from Cottage Cutz!
Wowzers, what an 'operation' this was...
31 tiny pieces in all...
but I don't think it could be any cuter.
These party animals just make me smile!!


Here is a close up of all their little details!


 I had a few little mishaps along the way, but all in all they turned out pretty cute!

To see all the lovely 'balloon' inspiration from the teams make sure and go on over to
the Double D blog and take a peek...
we would love to have you join in with us!

Oh, stop! How cute can it be? Fantastic! You're good with these fiddly Cottage Cutz. I shy away from this kind, but am addicted to their less fiddly dies. Just ordered there again today. What is wrong with me? Addicted! This is so much fun, Diane!
