Here to Give You a Lift; CPS #129

Well, it's another Summer Time Sunday and we're heading off to swim in a pool and have dinner with family, but I was able to get this card finished first! I like the layout....I knew I could use my new Button Basics somehow!

Here's the CPS Challenge:

And here's my take:

I love how all the balloons are on the same plane, but the strips of paper are askew, which gives it a little "lift". I feel you can't have too many of these "just because" cards on hand, so I made two today.

Alrighty then, off to make some stuffed tomatoes for dinner. Thanks to Taya for the recommendation!

    Oooh, I just love that stamp set! What a fantastic card!! I love how you put the air balloons on three separate strips of paper.

    How clever to use buttons for the hot air balloons! I'm going to have to remember that idea.
