Five years ago I received an email from Melissa Chipperfield asking me if I would be interested in being on the inaugural design team of a brand new challenge called CASology! I replied with a definite YES and that was one of the best crafty decisions I have ever made. From July 2012 until December 2016 I did #229 challenges with Melissa and the team at CASology!
I think it is amazing that they are celebrating their 5th anniversary and the challenge and participation is still one of the strongest challenge blogs going. Congratulations for 5 successful years and many many more!
I am very honoured today to be participating in the 5th Anniversary Blog Hop!
Of course you can't have a party without a balloon and lots of prizes too!!
The cue card this week is:

Great card, and love how you've used the sequins, Cathy x
Love the big bright baloons.
I love how dimensional these balloons look. They also look real. I love the cut outs on the balloons which you could never do on real balloons. They are so colorful and you used my favorite color, yellow for one of the balloons. I love it! I love the sequins, they add just the right touch. The fact that you colored them with stickels is so cool! I never would have thought to do that with clear sequins but then again I don't have any clear sequins. I might have to get me some to do that and make my sequin collection even bigger! LOL
I love this card and I thank you for showing us your colorful card. I also thank you for allowing us to win something from all of the contributors. I've never heard of most of them so I am going to check them all out later on. I can't wait to win something!
