Hello stamping friends!!
We are having such a great time on our Spring Break vacation!! The weather is turning out to be fantastic - although it's actually 10-20 degrees warmer than Kingsport, TN usually has this time of year. That is probably why we are having such a great time! We are usually cooped up in the house because it's either raining or too cold! But this trip has been wonderful.
Yesterday I shared some pictures of our first 2 days here. Yesterday (our 3rd day) we went to Bristol Caverns. It was a lot of fun and the kids really seemed to enjoy it. They paid attention to what the guide was saying and even asked questions - by raising their hands (the adults, like me, just blurted out what we wanted to ask)! I will save most of the pictures for another post later in the week since this is supposed to be about the High Hopes challenge. But I will share two pictures.

Too many people ask "where are the pictures of you"! I'm usually the one BEHIND the camera so I'm not in many of the pictures (nor do I like to get my picture taken). But hubby took this one of us as we went into the beginning of the caverns.

And here is the best picture I could get of the formations in the dark cavern.
At the lowest part, we were 180 feet below ground! It was quite a hike back up the steps, but we had a really great time.
Ok, now it's time for a new High Hopes Challenge!
Tanya is our hostess and her challenge is: Bingo

Pick one row across, down, or diagonal and use all 3 items in that row on your project.
Just remember that you MUST use a High Hopes stamp to enter the challenge.
One random participant will win 1 Free High Hopes stamp of your choice.
Here is my card...

This is the adorable Ryan and Ansley (yes, named after my two little ones :-) along with Sm Happy Easter Sentiment. The papers are the new My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up along with some rhinestones, ribbon, and bow easy (on order and expected to be restocked next week).
For the challenge, I used the bottom row: Bling or Sparkle, Distressing, Punches or Die cuts.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

Now it's your turn! This challenge runs for one week - through March 26 at 7pm EST.
This card is also for the following challenges:
Creative Stamp Friends: Spring
Addicted to Stamps: Rhinestones, Flowers, and Ribbons
Dream Valley Challenge: Easter
