I was so thrilled to receive a message from Mary asking me to be guest designer for April! A big Thank You to the design team for putting your confidence in me! For this card I found such a cute layout, I had to case it: Up, Up and Away by stampinandstuff at Splitcoaststampers I made my pool dp with a bg stamp, sponged all the dp's, popped up the balloons and 1/2 of the senti., added some grosgrain ribbon, & a button with ribbon. For the dessert: 1-used dp, 2-made my own dp, 3-added a fourth color, 4-used stripes, 5-popped something up, 6-used a border punch for a fancy edge, 7-added ribbon. I think that covers it all! Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

I followed the trail of cases for your card. What fun! Each of them a different look. I really love the layers you put together for your 'ground'. Looks fabulous! What a super card for such spring-like colours.

ROBERTA, you did IT and then some. Your card is so awesome. I LOVE how you used the colors (hmm....hard colors to use). You were able to incorporate them perfectly and come up with such a lovely card. I LOVE the balloons each having the colors of the challenge - you are a smart one I say! You little button/bow is a great extra touch. Congrats on being selected a guest designer. I can tell you put a lot of thought into this one and it turned out great. I agree with Mike on this one!!

I love this! Love the use of the pool party as the main colour. I am a great fan of hot air balloons ever since I took a ride in one! I love the way you coloured these. Love the sentiment too.
