Before we get to the Hop and Challenge, we wanted to announce that
we are changing the challenges to every-other-week.
Therefore this challenge (not the hop, but the challenge), will remain open until Monday, Jan 24th.We will have a special post on the weeks in between the challenges.
Speaking of challenge...
This week's challenge is: Anything Goes!!
You may use any High Hopes card or image.
Yes, we will still have our normal prize for those who enter a card in the challenge
For my card, I used the new Purr-ty Tweet Kitty Valentine from their recent release.
The sketch is from Friday Sketchers this week.
High Hopes has so many cute Valentine images that I thought it would be great to let my kids create their own valentine's for their classes.
I stamped some out and they will color them (a little at a time)...
Aren't they sweet?
Here's what I will probably do with them once they color all of the images...
These are simple to make. Just diecut the image, add a mat, and add it to some patterned paper folded over a treat bag.
Now it's time to hop on over to the super talented Michelle (so happy she was able to come back for our special challenge)!!
love this....so much effort put in to it
