Unity FWF - Sending Some Happy!!!

Yep! It's Friday again - so time for Friends with Flair over at the Unity Stamp Co. Blog!!! Head over there and link you project, and check out all the other wonderful talent, for a chance at a GREAT prize - plus they are having a fantastic sale on an adorable set of stamps!!!

I am also entering this is the Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky with K Andrews: Pennants and Banners - cause of the cute little banners on the balloon!
For some reason, I have been holding onto this card and not sharing it! Don't know why, except that I am just SOOO happy with how it came out, that I was just holding it close for a while! But...it is now time to share it! I used the October 2010 KOTM for the cloud background, heat embossed it with white embossing powder on blue cardstock, and matted it in black. Added some black and white Baker's Twine, then stamped the hot air balloon on patterned paper, heat embossed it in black, cut it out, and pop-dotted it from the back ground. Added the sentiment from the May 2010 KOTM - it just fit so perfectly! Thanks for looking - make sure and come back tomorrow for the Grillin' and Chillin' Blog Hop I am participating in with BugBites!!! LOTS of prizes and fun and great projects!!! Hope to see you!
