Five days in a Balloon, I've learned, is the first published novel by Jules Verne - I enjoyed his fantastic imagination in a few later ones which were made into movies that I loved as a child... Journey to the Center of the Earth, among them.
I've never had a hot air balloon ride. It's something I've always dreamed of.
This little guy had the same
dream...

I just knew I had a stamp with a balloon - so happy I found it, and had the chance to play along with The Library Challenge #37!

ReplyDeleteLove the non sentiment speech bubble, how clever is that on your FUN card Michele!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun!! I LOVE the image you chose. Your coloring ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've used the speech bubbles as clouds! This is extra cute Michele!
ReplyDeleteTerrific card, Michele. I love the look of the balloons floating in air, but am not so sure I would really like to be inside one for an hour let alone 5 weeks! Your coloring here, looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYay! You found a stamp! So cute. I arranged for a hot balloon ride about 20 years ago as a birthday gift for my husband. He was so surprised....probably his favorite gift over the years. He was in the 82nd Airborne a gazillion decades ago so he wasn't apprehensive AT ALL but I was SCARED to death. I survived and it was awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found that cutie because your card is adorable! Love his little "mask" to protect him!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful balloon and this guy looks like he's having a ball! Love his goggles!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't Big Eared Bunny having a fun time floating off, off and away, Michele ... love how you've made the cloud into a speech bubble! Hope having that balloon ride is on your list ... you'll love it ... it's dreamy! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever ready anything by Jules Verne, but I did love Journey to the Center of the Earth when I was young. lol I've always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon too, but am afraid of heights, so.....not going to happen. lol They have ride in Lancaster I think, but I would be sitting on the floor of the basket. lol Your little guy in this balloon is so dang cute! I love how you have colored your balloon-glad you found it too, and I love your little fella there. He looks right at home in his balloon. Love the speech bubble and how you used it as a clouds. Perfect. Hugs, Brenda
