CASology 5th Birthday Celebration blog hop!

Hello everyone!!

Drum roll please…

…It’s arrived!  CASology’s  5th Anniversary Blog Hop! Five whole years of amazing cues and weekly challenges! What an enormous achievement for Melissa and her team!! I feel enormously privileged to be included on this hop, and am grateful for the time I got to spend as part of this Challenge.

As this is most certainly a milestone celebration, could there be a better cue for this week?

I paired my balloons with a celebratory beverage…

…no, not champagne, the OTHER celebratory beverage! 😉

The balloon die-cuts and sentiment are from Clearly Besotted’s Let’s Party die collection and stamp set of the same name. The balloons are die-cut vellum and inked in orange. The STAMPlorations Coffee Happy mug has been paper-pieced using some vintage Basic Grey paper called ‘Nook and Pantry’. The balloon strings are hand-drawn. The whole image has been framed with some crazy double running stitches.

You don’t want to miss playing along this week, because there are HEAPS of prizes and lots of opportunities to win!
