All your dreams!!

 Happy Wednesday HH Fans!

I've been watching a little too much news lately & it has started to make me feel pretty sad.  So I need to colour something that gave me a pick me up.

This adorable little image called Lil' Entertainer did just that.  I know there are a lot of little girls/boyss out there who dream of one day becoming a dancer BUT there are those little girls/boys that just wanna' have fun.  No matter why they like to dance I thought this little cutie was perfect inspiration for them.

I went totally out of my go to colours for this card.  I'm not so much into pink or peach but this paper from Bo Bunny gave me the idea for the colour combos.  In the left hand corner of the paper it says "Never regret" "Live your dream" so I made sure not to cut that part off when I was trimming up the paper.

Sweet Dreams

  We have had a few warm sunny days lately and it has made me think about afternoon naps in the warm sun. 

I personally have not gotten along well with hammocks in the past. I am not co-ordinated enough apparently to be able to get my body in them and keep it there. My attempts often end up with me landing on my butt on the ground - it is a sight to see and worthy of a comedy show should someone catch it on video.

If I could keep myself in one, I am sure I would look like this adorable ant on the "Sweet Dreams" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, snoozing and dreaming a little dream in the sun and hoping my dreams come true.

 After stamping and colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I cut him out using a slash stitched round corner die. Since I didn't have a die one larger then the one I used, I traced the outside of the die and hand cut it for a card stock piece to back it with. I combined three different lines of paper to create my design, stamped and cut the sentiment to size and mounted it on matching card stock. A simple bow and some enamel dots finish off my card.

Christmas Dreams

Hello Everyone, hope you had another fabulous week.

There's been plenty of awesome new inspiration this week from the Design Team as we celebrate our second Christmas release. Check out all the adorable new images on the website in the New Release section. Have you seen those fantastic snowmen in their elaborate nordic sweaters?

But, there's also plenty of great Christmas images already in our inventory! Today I've got for you Chris Mouse Dreams.  This image reminds me of the classic Christmas story, Twas the Night Before Christmas.

As you can see, this image is perfect for an A2 card. I've used a tag die here for him and paired him with All Dreams Come True. I wanted a little color on that fishtail, so it's been inked with Tumbled Glass distress ink, and edged with Festive Berries. I love the fancy button on this card!

Check out our daily inspiration here on the High Hopes blog. We've got great ideas to kick start all your wonderful projects! You can also find us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.
Have a perfectly lovely Sunday and we'll see you again next week with more great inspiration from the talented team at High Hopes Stamps.
