CASology Week 132: Hot





Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  Our cue word this week is HOT.  Lots of different directions to go with this cue word.  I think it will be a very fun week, and I am looking forward to seeing how you interpret HOT.

I thought of hot air balloons--there are so many of them in the air near where I live, all spring and summer.  I pulled out one of my oldest and still favorite stamp sets--Up Up and Away and water colored the balloons.



I am also linking this card up at ShowCASe Your Style #7 and CASual Fridays #136 Watercolor.



I am also linking up at Simon Says Monday H is for...  Hot Air Balloon.


How about you?  Will you play along this week?  How are you inspired by the word HOT.





Thanks for Visiting
