I haven't had my Brushos a week yet and I have to tell you I am sooo addicted to them!
This card is for the current MFP SpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge which starts today. The inspiration is Hot Air Balloons.
I know I have said a million times that I use to be on a Hot Air Balloon team. Really, it is the only totally adventurous thing I have ever done so it is one of my fallback stories. You know, those kind of stories you pull out so the young people don't think you are totally lame and boring? I have all kinds of cool stories of crashes, near crashes, avoiding a train in the nick of time, and there is even a love story. The most interesting thing is that I am seriously afraid of heights, but when I was in a balloon, that fear melted. It was so peaceful and so pretty, the fear left me. I really did feel like anything was possible. A bunch of words here to explain that the sentiment is meaningful to me.
Hugz!!!

Ooh...so pretty in this color. I've never had the courage to try the hot air balloon thing...you are brave! Patiently (or perhaps not so patiently) waiting for my Brushos

Love the intense colours of your background! I can say I have been up in a hot air balloon but that's the extent of it! Lovely framing and I really like the sentiment on its side like that!

Fantastic effect with Brushos! Love that balloon and the wonderful sentiment that goes with it! How I love hot air balloon stories, Nancy! I did get the chance once and you are SO right about peaceful and beautiful! I'd to again in a heartbeat! (We landed in front of an oncoming motorcycle.)

Your card is beautiful and the sentiment tied in with your "hot air ballooning" adventures makes it all the more meaningful. (Brushos are new to me...will have to investigate.)
