Thankful Everyday Canvas For Scrap Around The World July Mood Board Challenge

Hi everyone!  I'm here today to share with you my canvas I created for the 

July Challenge at Scrap Around The World.

This month's challenge is hosted by the ever so talented Tusia Lech who created this colorful, whimsical mood board.

I was inspired by the colors, hot air balloon along with the photo in the upper right hand corner.  Loved the look of the water colored background.  I created my background with water colors, mists, acrylic paints and stamps.

We've got some fabulous prizes this month.
