Soaring by to Say Hi

Yesterday, a teammate let us know she had a VERY stressful week due to the parents of students in her class. I thought I'd whip up a little somethin-somethin to let her know I appreciate her in my grade level! :)

I pulled out my Everyday Button Bits from Papertrey Ink and had a lot of fun with it... :)

Not sure why, but I've always loved the concept of using buttons to embellish images... I guess it's just another way to express our imagination, eh? :)

Here's the card...

Here's a close-up of the balloons... :)

Such a nice thing for you to do, Ted. And I really love the card as well. I don't have Everyday Button Bits, but I'm now thinking that I *need* it.

We're such enablers, aren't we? :)

Ted this is such a cheery card! You did a really nice job on it and your friend is blessed to have your support. That situation can make for a very long school year and I'm sure this will really make her day!

Love the card and it makes me think about a warm beautiful day and our vacation in Sonoma many years ago and still one of my favorite ...... For some reason I must have missed the whole stamp set because I was just thinking I would love Hot Air Balloons in a set ...... I guess it will go on my list of must haves......
