Hot Air Balloon Card

I really have to work at getting sentiment stamps straight! I didn't notice until I was taking photos just how crooked it was.

All of the solid color card stock is from Stampin' Up, except for the yellow which was a scrap from my stash.
The patterned paper is from the 7gypsies Venice 6x6 paper pack.
The balloon is from Cricut's Victorian Romance.
The sun and clod are from Lettering Delights Balloon Craze.
The sentiment is from Gina K.'s Petals and Wings stamp kit.

April Birthday Card Swap (Splitcoaststampers)

I finished my cards for the April Birthday Card Swap a couple of weeks ago but I didn't want to post them here until we had received our swap. The swap was a 3+1. That means that you make 3 to swap and one for the hostess. The hostess is the person the swappers mail their cards to and she divides them up and mails them out to the swappers. It's loads of fun to see other peoples ideas and products that are used. I had two spots in the swap so I made 4 of one card and 4 of another. Check out my cards and let me know what you think!
