Firstly and most importantly.......High Hopes has a new release TODAY!!!! Just wait 'til you see all the wonderful and whimsical designs that Crissy and Tina have come up with for all us lucky stampers!! Head over to the website....when you are done reading this post, of course....and check them all out! Simply click on the 'online catalogue' button and put 'HOTP' (for Hot Off The Press) in the search bar and hang on to your inkpads!!! Be prepared to be in awe.....and saying 'Awwwwwwwwwww.....' at all their cuteness!!!
Secondly, we have our VERY first High Hopes Challenge for you!!! Yaaaaay!!! We would love to encourage all you stampers to pull out your High Hopes stamps, new ones or old ones, and get inky!!! We are going to keep the challenges fairly general and simple so that ANYONE can play along!!!
This week your challenge is to make a Birthday creation and include brads in your design!!! Easy peasy, right?? Right!! If you post your project to an online gallery, such as SCS, please use the keyword 'HHC1' so that we can all check them out. Wherever you upload your creation, whether it's in a gallery or on your blog, please leave us a comment here in this post and give us your link, so we can all see!!
You'll really want to join in this week.....and here's why!!! To celebrate the kickoff of our special blog and the new HH release, Tina is giving away a HUGE prize!! One VERY lucky stamper will randomly be chosen to receive over a DOZEN of the new release stamps!!!! YES!! You read that right!! Isn't Tina generous?? Someone will receive ALL of the new Dragon stamps and coordinating sentiments!! So get out your HH stamps and get inky, girls!!! And be sure to leave us your comment with link to your design by Saturday, October 4th at noon EST to be entered in the draw!
Here are some samples from our extremely talented group of Divas!!!

Lilian asked a good question and I can only answer it here;
ReplyDeleteIf you don't blog and don't have a gallery on SCS, you can still enter to be eligible to win. You just have to post your photo in a photo gallery of your choice (Facebook, Photobucket,Slide, Bebo or some other site on the internet) and then copy and paste the link in the comment section here so we can all see it!
I was so inspired by all the dt cards, I just had to jump right on this!
ReplyDeleteMy card is here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1071511?cat=500&ppuser=136154
