Very cool layout. My husband worked on a hot air balloon crew for 2 years and travelled the country with the balloon as part of the crew. He participated once or twice in the big even in Alburquerque and wants to take me. How fun that you got to see this!
glad to see you scrapping again! This is great, and you did an awesome job on the balloons you made. I think I'd need a few dinks in me before i'd be willing to go up in one of those, too~LOL! those little flags are adorable!
Congrats on the GD, and great job on the layout! We went for a hot air balloon ride in Pagosa Springs, CO last month, we got the champagne & oj after the flight, tho. I'll have to check out that pp when I'm ready to scrap our balloon ride pics! Glad to see you creating again!!

How FUN is this! A hot air balloon went over our house once....it was riding so low I yelled up to them to throw me a line! :) They laughed and said they couldn't squeeze another person in (could be why they were so low - hehehe) Awesome page - love your handmade paper - love your page!

It's a great page Rochelle, a fitting return!!! The red/white/blue colors are perfect for this page, and I also admire your use of the liquid pearls! Congrats on being a guest designer my friend!!!! Lovely work!!!!
Hi fellow Scrappers! I'm back! Kelly at Scraputane was nice enough to ask me to be a GD for her and her wonderful store/blog using the new Basic Grey's What's Up Collection. It's wonderful paper and the use is limitless! Be sure to check out more wonderful items and tutorials on her blog at scraputante.blogspot.com. It's amazing!
Several years ago I worked for a company that would schedule our fall meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico so we could attend their wonderful Balloon Festival. If you ever get the chance to attend it is beautiful beyond words. You have to get up at 4 AM to be there for lift off and of course champagne and orange juice is required or better known as the "hair of the dog" to get all of us up and moving! They have a race with about 500 balloons. Afterwards some of them will let you have short rides. Our "leader" was friends with one of the crews and so we were encouraged to try it out. Needless to say after several breakfast drinks we were game! It's impossible to tell who is in the balloon but trust me there were to many people for my liking! It is fun to look back on now though....now that my feet are on the ground!
I stamped the background paper and used Perfect Pearls to add more balloons. Lots of fussy cutting and then I added some liquid Perfect Pearls to the balloon. Thanks for all of your sweet comments and encouragement to get me back to scrapping! And thanks again to Kelly for honoring me with a GD spot! TFL
