Above the Clouds Box Card Project Sheet

Have you ever experienced a Hot Air Balloon ride?

My husband and I did several years ago on Lake Tahoe!

It was breathtaking! Soaring above the water and the trees ... landing back on the boat ... an awesome experience!!

This card brings back those wonderful memories and makes me want to do it all over again!!

I hope you enjoy this creation, too.
