This card fits the alphabet challenge, Letter Y (yellow). I did not hit the double challenge which was to include something yummy, unless you can imagine all of the wonderful cookies the moms are baking in their kitchens below the balloons. I met the color challenge from week 2: Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, and Barely Banana. I have so many discontinued colors that I decided to use the past challenges to help me use up my inventory.

Enabler!!! You did this card up so pretty. What a yummy thought of baking cookies!! But the yellow house on the right is where Ms Ann lives and she baking her yummy cheesecakes that comes in yellow as well!!
I had put off getting this bundle vs another. But you are enabling me when I saw this card. MMFS!!

You did a fabulous job! Love the balloons over the houses. Great combination of stamps. I have the house set, now I guess I NEED the balloon set, too. Love the large die-cut balloon. Love your idea to use the old Color Challenges to use up retired paper. I've been working on my stash of paper. I might use some of those old color combos. You inspire me! Love the splash of yellow. Great job with Letter Y. TFS

There is something really magical to me about hot air balloons and you have done that magic justice Sally. I love the depth you have achieved with the balloons and I love all the sparkly gems you added to big balloon. Adding the houses below the balloons really gives this card that feeling of height, and I love your take on the people in the houses below making cookies. Yum! That totally works for me. What a fantastic card for the challenges Sally! Hugs! ~Karen.

This is such a great neighborhood scene. I have this set but have never used it in this way. I'm with you on the discontinued colors and stamps. I don't even know the names anymore but I'm going to keep using them. Love your air balloons. Great job!
