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!!

I like the way the blue balloon is used as a contrast to the really rust color.

Wow! All those challenges rolled into one and so wonderfully done! Great idea to add the balloon. I hope it is not filled with helium, or maybe that would be a good thing, then this little snail could be lifted over the road and not have to worry about the bikers. Great card!
