Hot Air Balloon Festival Plano 2013 Scrapbook Layout

Created this Clean & Simple CAS scrapbook layout using 3 photos of mine photographed Sun 9/22 in our front yard when the hot air balloons went over our street. Plano has an annual Balloon Festival which was this past weekend. We do not go every yr so we were pleasantly surprised when 3 balloons went over our house starting with the Plano balloon.

Used Children Around the World Cricut cartridge to make the balloon image in top right corner.
