I needed to make a card for Zoe's friend who will be 6 on Friday and this months High Hopes Project of the Month set was just perfect for the job. Throughout the month of August you can buy this set of five stamps for 25% off the regular price. I made this card also for Trina's blog candy using her fabulous sketch - Thanks Trina!
I received the gorgeous card below today from my friend Gill. She sent it to congratulate me on my HH DT position. Thank you for such a lovely surprise.
Hope your having a great week. It's such a shame about the weather so I took the girls to a indoor play centre to run off some steam this morning so their daddy could get some rest after his night shift.Hugs,

This is an amazing card! I love your choice of DP and how you put it all together. Is the weather very rainy across the pond? We here in Canada are having nice weather for a change!
Wow, Nikki what a wonderful Idea with the Map. The little Pirat and his Parrot look's so funny.....
The design is amazing and I love all the little details.
