Happy Day!


Hi there!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!  We went to Easter service and then to our favorite restaurant for a delicious chicken and ham dinner!  It was such a delight to see so many in their Easter best!  I especially admired two little girls in light pink matching dresses, so cute!  Maybe one day I'll have a little granddaughter.  I can only hope and pray!:-)

Well, today I'd like to share with you a card I made for the challenge over at City Crafter.  I could not resist playing along.    Just look at those colorful beautiful balloons in the inspiration photo!  I wanted to make a happy colorful card and came up with the following...

 
 
It's pretty self-explanatory as you can see.  The cloud and sentiment stamps are from Sweet 'n Sassy.  The hot air balloon and flower stamps are from SU.  I used a SU dot embossing folder for some dimension on the hills.  I'm thinking this card could be used for several occasions such as thank you, birthday, or just because. 
 
Ok, friends, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by!
Take care, hugs!
 
Maria
