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

    That must be awesome to see hot air balloons in the sky all the time! There aren't any in Bermuda but I've always wanted to go up in one. :) Love the embossing plate you used for the background (an oldie but such a goodie!) and the touch of colour on the balloons is perfect!

    Sending smiles across the miles! This card put a smile on my face. I'm quite fond of hot air balloons... as stamps, don't see too many IRL. My parent's dogs have special hot air balloon barks (they are in New Mexico).
