What's Up!

Hi all, here is a card created with the lovely C.C. Designs - Swiss Pixie Camera Birgitta 

My card was inspired by the colours from this picture, so colourful and fun!

I found the picture of the hot air balloon in my stash, I bought the paper because I like the 
picture of the hot air balloons with the glitter.( it has been in my stash for a long time)
Now 
I can use it for this Challenge...I have hand cut the hot air balloon shape,and created one for
 Birgitta to stand in ' Smile'she's taking a picture of you...
While taking the pictures for this card...
It felt like...she's taking a picture of ME! LOL

I have used 2 papers from American Crafts-the colours of memories collections,
Hello Sunshine (the lace like cloud background) and City park (the Hot Air balloons )
Stamps C.C.Designs Camera Birgitta
