Another Year Flies By

The cue card at CASology this week is THRILL.  The first thing that came to mind was hot air balloons as living in Staffordshire we see a lot during the Summer, they take off from Shrugborough which is a hop, skip and a jump away from me. 

 It also holds sweet memories as I used to call the boys and we'd stand in the garden watching and waving, always thinking it must be such a thrill to be soaring with the birds.

The balloons and clouds are from Memory Box and I'd already decided I wanted to colour them with bright happy colours using alcohol markers.  I have no idea where the birthday sentiment stamp came from but it fits the card nicely.  

My boys are grown up now but I shall still stand and watch the thrill of hot air ballooning.

    Love the idea of taking a thrilling balloon ride. I see them here in San Diego all summer. Your coloring is spendid, and your clouds and sentiment are all perfectly placed.

    I love the CAS look of this birthday beauty, with those colorful balloons and billowy clouds! I choose to stay grounded but I enjoy seeing these things in the sky :)
