I've always loved watching brightly colored hot air balloons launch into the sky so it seemed only natural to incorporate them onto a page. Reach for the Sky is a song title. Lyrics include: "Yesterday is history, And tomorrow's a mystery . . . Don't think about the future, And just forget about the past." Background is small rectangular pieces of paper glued to the page to add texture then painted with craft paint, an idea I borrowed from a Vicky Papaioannou video.

A hot air balloon ride was a dream for me......on my bucket list for a long time. Eight years ago, it finally happened. What an amazing experience! So, I just love these pages! I love the bright colours and the symbolism implied. I love the texture too, with the pieced background and the stencilled hive areas. And it's true...you really are floating in the moment when you are in a hot air balloon.
