Two Challenges - High Hopes & A Spoon Full of Sugar
Also our challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar where Debbie is asking you to use an animal image. She has a fun request too (which is optional) where she would like to see a card created by you and also by your child. Be sure to pop over to the blog to view all the children's fabulous cards... and of course the fantastic design teams too!
My card above is using the fun new High Hopes stamp Stunt Dragon by Artist Dustin Pike. My Stunt dragon has been stamped onto Concord Record card with Memento ink and coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor to blend. I added a little stickles to his spots, eyebrows and also around the edge of the star but this is hard to see in the picture. The papers are from the Basic Grey Pad Max and Whiskers. I created the sentiment myself in Photoshop and printed direct onto my cardstock.
So here is my 5 year old daughter Danni's card. Danni loves to colour and must colours tons of images every week. This is her first offical card :-) I cut the carstock, paper and trimmed her image but the rest was all Danni's handywork! She is so proud of her creation and can't wait to give this to Nanny. The images Danni chose are High Hopes Sweet Anabela and Gilbert. As you can also see like Mum... Danni loves colour!
If you looking to play along with a challenge this week be sure to check out both High Hopes and A Spoon Full of Sugar :-)

Let's Party - Sneak Peek Day 1
Today our awesome design team are sharing their sneaks with you so be sure to hop on over to the Wags 'n Whiskers blog. Also there is still a chance for you to win the FULL Digi release by helping us spread the word. There will be rubber stamps available, however, we only have a limited supply so grab them while you can!
When doing our artist search I came across a cute Tiger Emma had drawn and knew we had to have him... so...... introducing Toby. The design on my card is called Toby's Big Day. Toby has been printed onto Concord Record card and coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. Do you love the sweet little bow on his pressie... I am useless at creating bows but this little cutie was so easy to create with my handy bow-easy! I also added some star dust stickles to the blue on the present. The sentiment is part of another design called Purrfect Day which will also be released this Friday! Papers used SEI Happy Day (Party Hat design) and Cosmo Cricket Material Girl (Terracota). I used some of the new arrival buttons from the Juke Box Collection, 4mm Flat back pearls and some fun pom pom ribbon.
Tomorrow there will be another day filled with sneak peeks. Then on Friday morning at 5:01 GMT (London)/12:01am EST, the blog hop will begin!! At 12:00 noon GMT on Friday/7:00am EST, the stamps will be available for purchase or download.

High Hopes Challenge - Anything goes!!!
On my card today I have used this fun guy Shelbert. He is one of the new release stamps by artist Dustin Pike for High Hopes. Shelbert is stamped in Memento ink onto Concord Record Card then coloured with Prismacolor Pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. I added a little Star Dust Stickles to his pom pom. I just love the colours of these papers from S.E.I 6" Paper Pad Happy Day. Lots of fun designs just perfect for Birthday cards.
Be sure to join us as a random player will win a High Hopes stamp of their choice! Also our Blog Hop is still open so plenty more chance to win more prizes!!!

High Hopes Blog Hop and Release!!!
Make sure to leave comments during the Hop because there will be prizes!! Four random Diva blogs will be hosting candy...but you won't know which one...so leave a comment on all of them!!
It's been a while since I have been creative (over 6 weeks!!!) but was happy to finally have a little playtime yesterday. This sweet design is called A girl and her kitty. I have coloured with Copic Sketch Markers and Prisma colour pencils. The fabulous bright papers are from the new Cosmo Cricket 6" Pad Delovely. The pretty circle design was cut using a Nellie C Die.
My card also fits with Debbie's challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Craft blog where she is asking you to create a girly card. Melissa's designs are so perfect for this challenge.
Ok.. I won't keep you any longer.... The next stop on the hop is Jeanette. I know she has something awesome to show you!
If you are looking to purchase the new stamps be sure to pay me a visit at Bunny Zoe's Crafts. I ship worldwide and have all the new stamps in stock and shipping today!
