Going Up!

Hello again!!  Well, I expected to be back a bit earlier today but I'm sure you all know how things can go when you make plans! haha!   Anyway, I did finally get that new cards done for Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday and since I needed a birthday card for this weekend it seemed like a good time to combine tasks.

We have a little friend turning 7 tomorrow and she's having an UP! party on Saturday - you know, the movie Up! have you seen it?? Ca-UTE!  Our favorite line, "South America, it's like America, but south!"  LOL, love it!  So here's what I came up with:

 Remember the house in the movie was lifted up by thousands of colorful balloons so I used Multi-Step Balloons to make a bouquet of colors balloons.  It's not difficult at all to mask these either since it's a pretty basic shape.

The card measures 6" x 4" and is a pretty basic layout since there's so much going on with color and pattern!   I stamped "Happy Birthday" on the inside but the word "up" was from Multi-Step Cowboy Hat and the "going" is from Mix It Up - all Kitchen Sink Stamps of course!

I hope you've already visited the other KSS Crew members today but just in case, please do! :) I hope you've had a good day - mine actually was pretty stinkin' good!! I found $10 today at the grocery store and I won 12 Touch Twin makers from their challenge!! Yippy!!
