Hello Stamping Friends!! Today is the long awaited High Hopes Blog Hop and Release!!
You should have arrived from Karen. If not, then you may want to head on over to the top of the Hop at the High Hopes Blog. Why? Because along the hop there are 4 blogs that have been chosen to give away 2 free new release stamps!! You won't know which blogs they are, so you should leave a comment on each one just in case!
So...today is the release day for the latest High Hopes stamps illustrated by the awesome Sir Dustin aka Dustin Pike! I think there are 33 images and 5 sentiments that are being released today!!
And guess what?...they are already up on my store :-) Tina...the fabulous owner of High Hopes Rubber Stamps allowed us to upload the stamps a little early!!
Today I have a fun Father's Day project to share using the super cute Handy Dragon and Four Tool Set...
I just LOVE Dustin's dragons!! And this one is no exception. When I first saw this image, I knew I wanted to make this little tool caddy (template from My Time Made Easy). I plan to add some of my hubby's favorite things...like a gift certificate to block buster, and his favorite restaurant, some chocolates, and a note from the kids.
The image and tools were embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
I'm going to have to grab this back from Ryan, though!! He saw it and decided it was a good place to put his "silly-bands" (do your kids have those?).
The blog hop will remain open until Wednesday 12pm GMT/7am EST.
Your next stop is the fabulous Sarah!
Don't forget about the Stamp and Create Challenge this month...charms!!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
