Up, Up, and Away

This card was created for the Heart2Heart Challenges for "Change". This card represents my interpretation of "Change"...(1) Unfortunately we are unable to go to the Balloon Fiesta so why not bring the Balloon Fiesta into a magic sliding card (2) October season now going from Green to Fall colors, and (3) Balloon change from black and white and disappears like magic to a very colorful balloon. 


 

Heart2Heart Challenge "Change"

Monday, September 28, 2015

Our final September challenge is the theme of change. It might be the changing seasons, a big change in your life, or even the change in your pocket.  We can't wait to see how you interpret this theme challenge!  
In October we quite frequently go to the Albuqueque International Balloon Fiesta...in hopes of good weather and winds no stronger than 9 miles an hour or the balloon flights will be cancelled.  One year we took our son-in-law and due to the bad weather no balloons were seen except for the one just outside of Albuqueque at the Route 66 Casino.

My Inspiration and colors for this Magic Sliding Card
October 2013 Albuqueque International Balloon Fiesta
Magic Sliding Card Tutorial:  Christina Griffiths
(Made modification to size and attached pocket to a 5 x 7 card)



My daughter has been doing a lot of Emma (Paper Sweeties) and I thought she would be a cute addition to my card...so I pried Emma away, for the day, which was quite a challenge. As soon as I finish this posting I will be visiting Emma's friends and will probably be forced...lol...to make a purchase.  I had a lot of fun making this card and hope you enjoy it as much.
