Hello and Happy Saturday!! It's my turn to host the challenge at My Sheri Crafts and I went with "Nothing Flat". I'd like to see 3D items, but anything that isn't flat will work.
I've seen some of these Hot Air balloons and I've really wanted to make one, so when my mother-in-law asked if I could come up with some type of hot air balloon picture or something for her to give a friend, I decided this was it! I bought the "High Skies" svg kit from svgcuts.com, grabbed some beautiful K & Co. papers and went at it!
For a first attempt, I'm really pretty pleased! The only issue I had was that the score lines cut as a completely separate layer and then the base pieces of the balloon were cut with no score lines, so I took them to the scoring board. Anyone have a suggestion as to why that happened and what I do about it? On my mat it doesn't show them separate and look like they'll be done all in one cut, but then they split up when I hit "Go" in Design Space.
Anyway.....I do like how it came out and I'd like to make more, but I'd really like to figure out the glitch first.
I've entered this project here:

Sarah, you have outdone yourself! First time trying this huh? You could have fooled me. This is amazing and I love the color coordinates you chose for this project. I can imagine you making more of these in smaller versions to make a mobile! Ooooh, I would have loved that for my kids :P
