It's time for another High Hopes Challenge!! This week is brought to us by the very talented, very funny...Miss Sweet Daisy aka Anna Wight!! Her challenge is called Upsy Daisy...use some Daisys in your card.
For my card, I wanted to use one of the new images...
This is Andrea's Kitties...isn't she so adorable? (I say that for every High Hopes Stamps, don't I?!) The sentiment is actually from Whiff of Joy. Did you know the owner of Whiff of Joy, Katharina, is a High Hopes Design Diva?!
The DP is a K&Company Small Wonders - Girl pack that I've had for ages (I bought 2 packs when I was making the Baby Scrapbook for my husband's coworker). I added some Daisy primas with some SU Cordouroy Brads, and the charm is from JoAnns.
I embossed Andrea in Black and watercolored her with Twinkling H2Os...
Look how sweet she is!! I just want to pinch her cheaks :-)
The sketch is from Amy R Amyrs71 (haven't done one of hers in a long time...
I carried the papers and part of the layout to the inside...
However I realized after taking this picture that I forgot to add the white Oval for writing....I will fix that before I give it to someone. I was late getting this card finished. As we were working on the house yesterday, we got a call from the Realtor asking to show the house to two people...which required us to leave for 2 1/2 hours!! That wasn't in my stamping plans!!! Now, let me explain...we didn't sell the house in time to close on our new house so we had to accept the Corporate Buy-Out option that was included in my husband's relocation package. We are soooo grateful to have that option because houses are not moving in our neighborhood. It is full of Military families so many of our neighbors have been transferred to new bases so we have a TON of houses on the market right now. But getting back to our house...as far as we are concerned, the house is no longer ours...it belongs to his company. We still have to show the house if they want until we move. But what a major inconvenience when we have so much to do before the move!! Not much longer now...we are planning to move the week of July 20th...that's a week from tomorrow!!!
Back to the card...I received the personlized stamp that I ordered from Bunny Zoe's Crafts so I used it on the back of my card...
I think it's crooked! Anyway, I really think it's cute. I used to use a clear label on the backs of my cards with my phone number and blog address, so I am happy that I have something that can be stamped instead.
Oh, if you missed my post yesterday, you may have missed the announcement that the High Hopes release is now on the website!!! Yeah!! What do you think of all of the new images? Are you ready to get started on your Christmas cards yet?
High Hopes will be making an announcement in the coming weeks...so stay tuned for that along with a Blog Hop with Blog Candy that I mentioned before!!! I just may have some blog candy before that...I am fast approaching 100,000 hits!!
Anyway, speaking of free stamps...if you would like to play along with the challenge this week...create a card using a High Hopes image, add some daisys somewhere on the card, and upload it to the challenge post to be entered into the drawing to win the stamps Anna used on her card!
And if you upload your card to SCS, use keyword HHC39.
Thanks for stopping by today!! Happy Sunday...and Happy Stamping!!
