A card for Fun

Morning everyone , on this wet Monday ...... the garden is loving it as we have had gentle steady rain all morning and I have every reason to stay inside and craft :)

Toady's card is not for any challenge but made for pure fun . I've used my Paper Smooches stamps again to make a happy smiley card

The cheeky squirrel is back and this time he's taking a ride with some balloons ...... or are they ?

I've used the pepper from the 'Vegtastic' set and with selective inking and paper piecing , they have become two bunches of balloons taking him for a ride :)

Paper Smooches are looking for a Guest Designer for the month of July so I'll pop over and enter him along with some other cards before he gets up to anymore mischief :)

EDIT: My friend Vicky has pointed out that this card would fit right in with the St Lukes Hospice Challenge this month so I'm going to pop it in over there :)

Thanks for joining me today and I hope he made you smile too X
