New Guest Designers!!!

Are you all dying to know who the new Guest Designers are??? Well, it's been torture trying to hold it in, but I wanted to wait until closer to the beginning of their term to share.

Let me first start by saying thank you SO much to the over 200 amazing artists that sent in their applications to join our little gang of Divas! We were completely overwhelmed with them all and it was extremely difficult to choose only two....so we chose all six Guest Divas for the rest of this year!! BUT I'm only going to share the first two with you!

Without further delay, the first Guest Designer will be.....Tab Robinson of Tabby Craft Designs!!! We were absolutely blown away by Tab's submission and her incredible artwork. She lives in the UK and is a total craft addict, loving all things pretty and sparkly!!




Our second Guest Designer will be....Karen Goguen from the 6 Wacky Women blog! Another submission that just made our jaws drop!! Karen is a huge lover of High Hopes Stamps and lives in Ontario. She works at a local stamp store too!!




Tab and Karen will be part of our little group from April to June and we are thrilled to have them!! Unfortunately, that means that we will be losing our current Guest Designers, Diana and Nicole as their term is up at the end of March. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these two lovely women and appreciate all they have done with the High Hopes images!! Thank you ladies!! Hugs!!

Now please give a warm welcome to Tab and Karen!!!
