GORGEOUS Julie!! LOVING those balloons! :):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Well done for getting the post done Julie :) Fabulous quote on your fun card!
Love hot air balloons! Great use of the Skipping Stones set.
FABULOUS card Julie!!!
Love your card-its fabulously done :) I know this is a hard week for you but this is such a wonderfully done farewell.
What a wonderful inspiring quote! I love the images of the balloons, beautifully coloured too.
Love that quote, and the balloons.
What a terrific quote and love that you have chosen balloons as Sarah floats on to new horizons, very apt!
Fab card! Love the quote.
I can't believe I've come to the end of the blog hop - it was an enjoyable and inspiring ride, sad sentiments notwithstanding.
This is a very emotive card because of the sentiment but also the visual imagery of hot air balloons - someone is going away.
I feel your loss.

Sorry to see Sarah go she will be missed. Lovely card to say farewell, beautiful sentiment and I love the balloons. Great splash of colour. Tracy x
A lovely card and a lovely tribute to sweet Sarah! I'm sure that she's got tears in her eyes reading this...that sentiment on your card says it all! You'll always be besties and I'm sure we'll be "seeing" Sarah in the future soon.
Wow, love those hills, clouds, balloons and sentiment. Awesome scene. ;)
I started my hop here because of that beautiful quote, and those soaring green balloons! Must check out Skipping Stones Design, and wish you good luck as things change around Play Date Cafe! Thanks for sharing your personal stories, and we wish you all the best!
Julie, the post at The Cafe is so lovely. :) I know you had MAJOR issues with Blogger, which makes the post even more special, knowing the time and frustration you put into it. Your card is simply wonderful, and the sentiment brought a tear to my eyes.
Julie, what a fantastic idea this was to have a blog hop in honor of Sarah. I've seen lots of her projects along the way that I would have missed otherwise. I think the color splashes have turned out to be my favorite ones, because before PDCC, I'd NEVER have used black in my cards as a major color, and now I love these challenges!!
Love the sentiment on your card today, too. Thanks for a really fun hop!
so cool. green is my new fav.
Quite an inspirational quote!! We often don't often take time to just enjoy the moment!!
Lovely card!
Such a beautiful sentiment, this was my second choice of set, it's just the most beautiful sentiment, ever! I'm sure you are really sad to see your bestie moving onto different things, but I know she will keep you with her wherever she goes. You have such a special bond.
Your card is beautiful, I love how your pop of green is the balloons, fab card! :)
I so love that expression! I haven't been in a hot air balloon yet...but it seem to fit the experience perfectly!
