Hi what a miserable day who would ever believe it is August.. this weekend is the balloon fiesta in Bristol and in the 30yrs is has been going we hardly ever get good weather!!!!
I went to the cinema last night and just before we went in they had a mass assent of balloons at Ashton Court where it is held and they were all blowing across where we were .
Sadly I didn't have my camera with me not something you normally take to the cinema with you but it was a sight to behold. I get a little bit blase about seeing them because it is something we see a lot in Bristol.
Back to the card my neighbour is 40 today and several of us (neighbours that is) are going to a party tonight and I was asked to make a card. It is quite a bit bigger than my normal size cards and I found it quite difficult to make... but I am quite pleased with how it has turned out.
Heather has some gorgeous Rakle stamps on offer and I have based this card on her sketch.
Thanks for looking Sue :o)

I love this one Suzanne. The black and white is super. The pink flower is just perfect! Hope you had a great time with no bad head this morning!!
It is a shame about the weather for the balloon festival, we usually get a few balloons going past us but the weather yesterday was so bad I would be surprised if any got off the ground!
