This month we will be creating shaker cards and

blogs in today's hop.  Each comment on the 12 hops throughout the year will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Blitsy.com gift certificate. 


Now on with the projects.


I used the Sizzix Hot Air Balloon stamp and die set to create this cute card.
I used some cheap sequins I found at Dollar Tree for the filler.  I sponged and masked cloud 
background and a little patterned paper complete the supplies used. 


As this card was originally made for a swap, I needed more than one.
Each one is a little different.




Thanks for stopping by!
I'm giving away a little blog candy today too.

  4. Theresa, I love your card! I wish I could find some pretty colored sequins in our Dollar Store here in Canad but, alas, they typically only come in a gaudy gold, red, green, royal blue mixed package. I love the designer paper in the balloon and your sponged clouds are amazing! Thanks for hosting another great hop!!
