Summer Up Up and Away

Happy Labor Day!  Hope you are enjoying BBQ and spending time with people you love.  Tomorrow is back to school day for us.  For some reason, I felt like these balloons are carrying our summer away. *sniff*

I CASE'd this card from Angie.  It is a rather easy card to make, other than having to handcut those balloons.  Don't you agree that Stampin' Up! should come up with a punch that goes with these balloons?  Wouldn't that be great???  Help me with a write-in campaign and send emails to SU, OK? :D

Sky's the Limit

 Didn't get to play much this past week.  When I finally got a chance, I wanted to make something cheerful.  LOVE this hot air balloon set called, Up, Up & Away, in the new catalog.  I did have to hand cut the balloon.  Hope SU comes out with a punch for us in the future!  I love that this set has a couple of sentiment that are not found in other sets, along with different images, like the birds flying.

I used THIS SKETCH from Stamping 411 this week (oops, apparently it was last week.  I missed the Linky cutoff).  I also took inspiration from one of the design team members, Selene, with her use of the ribbon.
