Back to the 80's!

Well Hello there and welcome to the weekend. I have a really busy one coming up, an all day crop tomorrow, our decorator is coming around Sunday to paint our lounge at long last and it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK on Monday and we are hoping to spend it with friends.
I'm sure your weekend is equally busy and I hope it's with lovely activities too. (at least some scrappy time!)
OK, today I have finished a page I completed for the challenge over at 1,2,3 Challenge Blog and the recipe is.....
 
I was insure at first about the balloons but then I remembered that I had some American Crafts paper with glittered balloons on, so the rest was easy!
 
 
Here is the page I have submitted and the colours in the photo's are perfect for the AC papers I selected. Our cat Ginger (original name huh!) took a liking to the hot water bottle that I use on my back (slipped disk) so every time I discarded it to go out or to bed Ginger would go and lay on it to get the benefit of the remaining heat!
Now you are probably wondering at the post heading 'Back to the 80,s' and what it has to do with our cat? Well the title for my layout is from a British comedy sitcom called 'Only When I Laugh' that was on telly in the early eighties and you have to sing the title by sounding out the HAPPY letters one at a time.
 
I'm H. A. P. P. Y.
 
I'm H. A. P. P. Y.
 
 I Know I am,
 
I'm Sure I am,
 
I'm H. A. P. P. Y. 
 
Do you remember? HERE'S a reminder!
 
I actually sing it to my girls when someone is being grumpy, it's well known in our teenage girl abundant home!
 

Lastly, a close-up of the top corner where the balloons are and the little cloud 9 that was written with rub-on's.

Now this challenge over at  1,2,3 Challenge Blog runs until  31st May so there is PLENTY of time to have a go too. See all the details and the design team examples HERE.
