A Rainbow of Balloons

This is my last layout of the Balloon Festival. These are photos of Joan, Heather, Rob and I enjoying the balloons. Since it was so early in the morning after the balloons launched, we each had a waffle with ice cream and strawberries ~ they were delicious. Later Rob also had a roasted ear of corn ~ his favorite at festivals! I tried searching online for a poem about ballooning and but couldn't find one so I decided to try writing my own poem. I basically described our day at the festival and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Few More Balloon Festival Layouts

"Balloonatic"

On this first layout I used sketch #98 from "Got Sketch?"

with the Bo Bunny's "Back to Basics" paper line.

"Up, Up & Away"

On this next layout I used the February 15th sketch from "Stuck Sketches?!" and Crate Paper. For the second page I used the same papers but my own ideas.

"Photos from the Balloon Festival"

This last layout is mine and I used Cosmo Cricket "Lil' Man".

Festival of Ballooning

Welcome to my blog and I'm glad you stopped by. These layouts are from photos taken this summer at the Festival of Ballooning in Readington, New Jersey. Rob, Heather, Joan and I all jumped in our Jeep Wrangler at 4:00 am in the morning and drove to the festival. We were the first to get there. We parked in a field and walked through the muddy grounds to the festival. Rob and I had sneakers on so we were okay but Heather and Joan were wearing sandles. Their poor feet were so muddy. When we got to the entrance they used tissues to try and clean up their feet. It was so worth it getting there that early because the balloons were amazing. They were everywhere you looked filling up with air and we walked all around them. We took some fabulous pictures. I've never seen anything like it in my life ~ there were so many balloons. When they were all in the sky it was awesome. I'm having a lot of fun scrapping these photos ~ I have so many!
