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!!

Very cute card! And as Cindy would say: one that can actually be used after the tea party! Love the balloon and the sentiment!

Well look at your cute little self. Is that a new avatar picture? I love it. This is the perfect paper to use for this color challenge. I looked through my entire stash and could not find anything. I love this snail image. The balloon is perfect. So glad to see you back. We missed you....
