Balloon Book Cover-SOA

I created this for todays IC182 over at SCS, the inspiration today is book covers. I chose the book cover here. This is also another sketch from the Stamp Out Alzheimer's site. If you have already donated to the SOA, thank you so much for taking part in this great cause. If you have not, you can still donate by clicking on the link to the left of my blog and give your gift of $5.00 or more. There are fabulous prizes each day and lots of challenges to get your mojo going. I used the Verve hot air balloon for this and paper pieced it, I then added the basicgrey pearls, I luv these! I used the sentiment from the Verve Seeing Stars set and punched it out with the SU oval punches. I added some cute little ribbon and the sewing. Luv the sewing too! I hope you enjoy your Saturday and don't forget to stop by the Sweet Stop Sketch Blog to see todays sketch and play along. And remember "anything is possible" especially if you believe!
