Happy Friends with Flair Day!
Just to warn you, today is April Fool’s day… don’t let anyone fool you! Ha.
I have no tricks up my sleeve today, just some fabby stamps.
I love this Sunny Happy Skies Bella Blvd stamp set.
There is just something about this hot air balloon I can’t get enough of. I paired it with the saying from Dutch Mustard Soup by Jillibean Soup. This little card is based on two different challenges. First, The Create: Blog! challenge this week was to create a grid based card. I just got this Fine and Dandy paper by My Mind’s Eye and couldn’t wait to use it. I am in LOVE with the teal, orange and kraft color combo. So I created the grid using the little labels. And then since I love this hot air balloon, I wanted to play in the In My Beautiful Balloon Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, which is, of course, to incorporate a hot air balloon.
Thanks for stopping by… check out the rest of the hoppers on the Unity blog.

I like how you didn’t just make squares of paper, you used a special punch. One that I also own..thanks for the idea.
