I took my inspiration directly from the fabulous hot air balloons and aren't my favorite silver pearls from Michael's perfect from the silver lining? OF COURSE I had to use Verve's Up Up and Away set (the sentiment is from Circular Sayings), how could I not!?! LOL!
The designer paper is from the new Cosmo Cricket mini deck, Earth Love. I thought the paper with butterflies and their cute trails would be PERFECT for the background of the balloon. I pieced the balloon using the striped paper, some basic gray paper, and a small piece of the blue/green DP. Once again I used my fav border punch Upper Crest and the ribbon is PTI Aqua Mist satin.Everyone is invited to play along in the challenge!!

Here is one thar uses the adorable santa hat and I again used the lovely Merry Christmas sentiment. I added some dots of liquid applique to the trim, I didn't put it on too thickly as it is a small image. The pattern paper is the newly released 

Sadly, I didn't have any time to make a card for this challenge. My little one has been pretty sick since Thursday and I couldn't get to it.
