Welcome!!!

Well, hello and welcome to the new High Hopes Stamps Blog!!! Aren't you excited?? I know we are!!!

We thought it was time to create a space where High Hopes stampers can come for inspiration, information and also to SHARE their own wonderful designs!!!

On the sidebar you will see a direct link to the High Hopes website, as well as links to the blogs of all our wonderful and talented Divas!! One of the functions of this blog will be to share some inspiration through creations made by these lovely ladies! So when you get your stamps out to play, you can come here to be inspired and to find some stampin' energy!!

Also you will find the latest information about new releases and Project of the Month Specials!! As soon as we know, you'll know! And on the 1st of every month, you will be able to tune in and find out what stamps are part of the new POTM at a 25% discount!! How cool is that??

But the biggest and most FUN part of this blog, will be to get YOU, yes YOU, stampin'!!! Each and every Sunday we will be posting a challenge with samples from some of our wonderful Design Team members. The idea is to encourage you to play with your High Hopes stamps and share your work with us. You can join in the challenge and then link your creation here, so that we can see what everyone is making!!!

So what do you think??? Sound like fun??? Well, tune in on Sunday, September, 28th for our very first challenge!!! And there might even be something sweet in it for ya!!!!
