First of all, this card is going to France, where Cindy is having her teaparty this week!! Check it out here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
My little snail is bringing along a balloon for the winner of the race. I don't have a fun story like the others always do... I'm just not creative with the storytelling!! I decided to give my snail a balloon, because everytime I am digging through my cards to find "just the right" birthday card, I never have enough!! So I am trying to get a good selection going!
I used the Color Challenge CC228 for today. Not Quite Navy, Really Rust, and Pretty In Pink!! That was different for me, but really FUN!!
Last but not least, I used this weeks MOJO sketch MOJO96. This was my first time using one of those sketches. Makes for less thinking for me today!!

Kris, I love the little blue balloon, that your little snail has. He is very smart. He knew he wasn't fast enough to cross the road without getting run over by the bikes. So he decided to fly across the road. Great job combining the challenges.

What a fun snail, and your little snail looks so sweet with a balloon , what a neat idea for a birthday card. I write long stories so stampers don't have much time to look at how bad my cards really look. Tee hee! Love your sketch there Kris. Rockin' those challenges are we...way to go.

Another impressive tea party guest, meeting three challenges at one time! The snail holding the balloon is so-o-o cute. Sure to be cased many times. The sentiment is perfect for this group.

Hi Kris!! Glad you could come! Well, if I were a snail and I was going to a party, I would most definately take a balloon.....The winner of the Tour I think would much rather have your balloon than the boquet of flowers that will most likely die in 2 hours! Good thinking on your part!
How fun you combined several challenges and managed to get to France to! I hope your life is settling down now and you can get some relaxation and card making in! So glad to see you here today....
I am off to look at your picture.....thanks for uploading it! Glad you got the card A-OK! Hugs...
