Up, up and away....

Hello all in Blogland and hope that your week has been going well? The time seems to have sped past me at a frightening speed this week - I can't believe it's Thursday already!  It's amazing how busy you can be when you're NOT at work lol.  I always imagine when we have time off that we'll have long lazy days with lots to time to potter and do things - but strangely the days just seem to whizz by!  Thanks for all your good wishes about my couple of girly days away!  My friend and I had a fantastic time - we travelled up to Glasgow on the train first class (a real treat, with lunch & drinks served!), had a good few hours wandering around the shops and going for an early tea. Then off to a gorgeous hotel, and then the Il Divo concert - and they were fabulous (as always!).  Not much nicer than watching and listening to four handsome men, singing with gorgeous voices and a wonderful orchestra.....Sigh......  Anyway, back to reality again now - but I think the family missed me a bit really!  It's perhaps good for them now and again if I disappear for a day or so!

Apologies for the waffle, and time to share a card with you today using one of the April new releases from Whimsy.

I've used some of the collection of Hot Air Balloons from Moon Cookie Gallery - and coloured them with promarkers and added sky & clouds done with chalks


The backing paper is from K&Co with faux stitching stamp round the edges. I've added a tag cut with a Spellbinders floral oval die and a vellum sentiment added (with brads and ribbon from stash)


Hope you like it! Do pop over to Whimsy and have a look at all the great new digis. 
Back soon,
Kim x

  1. Beautiful. Loving the pull-out sentiment and the great movement the angled layers give the design.
