Inspired by one of my favorite movies ‘UP’, this card is to celebrate my parents move to their new home next week.
It first started out as shock & disbelief as they were informed last November, their homestead would be purchased and acquired in order for a new business to move in. The business, Foxconn, is buying 2,000 acres to build a humongous manufacturing site. Most of the property is precious farmland but will also displace 200 homeowners.
Needless to say, this situation has been very stressful and emotional for all involved. After weeks of negotiating, my parents have accepted an offer of mutual agreement. (My dad has been known as “Wheelin’ Dealin’ Willie” for as long as I can remember!! Lol
The silver lining in all this for my parents, is that they found a beautiful home with very little upkeep and the best part is that itÂ’s 2 blocks from my aunt & uncle and much closer to church, shopping and doctors. Yeah! Things ARE looking UP!
My card has balloons both outside and inside the card... after all, one can never have to many balloons to celebrate an epic event! And plenty of room inside the card for a personal message.

What a beautiful card. The balloons are all so pretty and festive. The box with the pop up balloons are awesome. You did a great job with the colors, too.

Jeannie, I love this card! Thanks so much for posting the link to the tutorial. All the balloons inside and out are great, but I especially love the little house being lifted "UP!" (I do love that movie!) Congrats to your parents for the wheelin' and dealin' and finding their new dream home. Thanks for designing with us this month; it has been a delight having you on the Color Challenges in June.
