CASology Week 10: SKY

Hello, friends!  I'm here today with a card I made for this week's CASology Week #10 Challenge using the cue word "SKY."



The first thought that came to my mind was the line from the Disney movie "Toy Story 2" in which Woody, a true cowboy toy, states, "Reach for the sky!"  (I think I have every line of that movie memorized since my kids watched it repeatedly when they were young!)  However, I have no idea how that translates into a card, since I have no cowboy images and frankly don't know when I would ever use such a card anyway!

I digress.  So, my thoughts then went to that same phrase used in a different context...like something you would say for someone on the verge of a new phase in life (e.g., graduation, new job).  You know, a "reach for the stars" kind of message.

And THAT thought led me to this.

Materials Used:
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Studio G Hot Air Balloon stamp; Hero Arts "Anytime Messages" sentiment; Hero Arts "Clouds" background stamp; lilac pearls; patterned paper


I will likely use this card as a graduation card...I always give cards to the high school seniors that I counsel and/or case manage at work. 

Thanks for stopping by...I do appreciate your visits!

  5. I love the embossed frame and the way you 'limited' the sky itself, while putting the balloons just outside the edge! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week!
