Birthday Balloons - ATG at Crafty Gals Corner

It snowed! Huzzah! For most of the winter, my town has been a frigid example of all things winter: -30 degree windchills on a regular basis, icy sidewalks, shuffling steps - you know the sort. But there has been a definite lack of the white fluffy stuff. I always say that if I have to put up with the cold, I may as well get to frolic around in some snow, too! So yesterday, when I woke up to a winter wonderland full of falling flakes (how do you like that double alliteration) I was decidedly delighted!

But I digress. What I'm really here to talk about today is the new challenge going on over at Crafty Gals Corner this week.

 

And it's a good one... Anything Goes!! That's right, no rules, no guidelines, no stodgy old lady with her pointer finger telling you that your card doesn't quiiiite fit the challenge guidelines. Link 'em on up!

As for me, I was given a digi image from Lemon Shortbread called Cute Balloon Girl. (Someone got creative in the naming department.) The name is very apropos though, because she IS adorable and she does have a bunch of awesome balloons which I colored in all shades of bright colors. 

I used a little bit of Glossy Accents to give the balloons a little lift. And then I ran some sheer ribbon down the side. It's the perfect birthday card for my little sis - who's going to turn GAH! 23 this year. Nothing to makes you feel older than when your baby sister is above the age of 16, am I right?

But I digress. My point is that you should totally click on over to Crafty Gals. Why? Because we have three - yes THREE! sponsors this week who just wanna give you stuff.
