High Hopes 200th Challenge Blog Hop!!







Today is the 200th Challenge for High Hopes Rubber Stamps. For over 7 years the team has been creating some amazing samples using High Hopes stamps. It has been a wonderful journey. Therefore, we are celebrating with a Blog Hop. There will 3 prizes provided by our Sponsors Stamp and Create, Bunny Zoe's Crafts, and One Crazy Stamper) along with High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

You should start at the top of the Blog Hop at the High Hopes Blog. If you did not begin at the top, we suggest you back now so that you do not miss a stop.

As you hop along each stop, you will find a clue at each stop. Collect each clue to create a phrase. When you are done with the hop, leave a comment including the finished phrase to be entered into the drawing for one of the prizes.

In addition, there is another chance to win 1 Free High Hopes Stamp by entering the challenge. Create a card or project using the challenge theme and link your project to the link on the challenge blog. You can participate in the challenge without doing the blog hop (which will enter into the drawing for 1 Free High Hopes stamp). You can also participate in the Blog Hop without entering the challenge (which will enter you in the drawing for the chance at one of the 3 sponsor's prizes).

The challenge theme is: Use your favorite High Hopes stamp
(You MUST use a High Hopes stamp to enter the challenge)


Here is my "Favorite High Hopes Stamp" Now I say that very loosely cuz I have a top 10... and can't really pick just one. But this guy is in the top for sure! He is one of my totally favorite Birthday Card images - perfect for us to give to friends for sure!

This is "Party Donkey"  with "Three Candle Cake" and Sentiment "Got Cake?"


Now this stamp has lots of friends to work with it. You can have him holding a few different things that are sized to work .. even a cute chicken. And there are friends too an adorable pig that can hold party items too. Love them all but the Donkey is "the best"... LOL

I colored with my Copics and then used papers from Carte Bella Giddy Up collection. I sewed things down and then added three wood looking buttons.

Here is the inside with the same papers -

 and the Copic colors used -



Now it is time for you keep on with the HOP but you need something from me... what was it? OH YEA... the secret clue... shhhhhh   "Your clue for this stop is Create

And now it is time to move on to Nikki's blog - HERE

Have fun with the Hop... I am now going back to bed and take more drugs... Yep... I fell off the sick cliff and got it good. Not fun at all!!!
