This is my card for today's Color Challenge - Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight. The dessert is to use grosgrain ribbon. It is also for today's Teapot Tuesday Challenge: This week, we are headed to Kearney, Nebraska to help Orland and Wilbur Kite, who were headed for air traffic control school, but got ripped off by Brooke, the Crook. Now they are in Nebraska with nuttin' but blue sky! We are going to bring them 42,000 things that fly to cheer them up and give them a little adventure. I am bringing hot air balloons.
In real life, our cards are for Sean, the 23-year-old son of a co-worker of fellow SCSer, Judy (StampingQueenJar). Sean is battling testicular cancer and is dealing with a lot of tough medical issues right now. He likes video games and things that fly, so hopefully our flying cards will lift his spirits and bring him some encouragement. You can find out more about Sean here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
One final note, I used this week's sketch from the Card Positioning Systems blog (CPS#204) for my layout: http://cardpositioningsystems.blogsp...04-part-1.html
TFL!

Love your hot air balloons. I nearly used them on my card but went with an airplane instead. Now I'm kind of wishing I'd gone with balloons. Well done.

There is something about the way that you summarized the challenge that just makes me giggle! Snort! When I read my story in YOUR words, its sounds so goofy! Tee hee! I look forward to that giggle every week!
What a wonderful card Carla...those balloons are really fancy schmancy ones! I love the colors you chose and these images. Its a very nice card for Sean.....and the sentiment is so special for Sean. You did good!
