High Hopes new release -- Bella Bear

Thanks for stopping by today! I'm back showcasing another new release from High Hope Stamps and once again I've fallen in love :)

Since Bella Bear is using here walking stick, has her nap sack plus a rolled scroll which I could only imagine being a map I decided to create a hiking & camping scene.

The trail sign was created with an old typewriter for some extra fun!

I've added sewing stitches, a Summery flower and coordinating plaid to create the scene.

Bella Bear can be found here. Don't forget to play along in this weeks challenge over at High Hopes. A free digi is offered if your short on stamps.

High Hopes New Release -- Fox on the Beach

Thanks for peeking in today. I have a new card to share using High Hopes Fox on the beach stamp! This stamp is from the new release available on March 19th. I knew exactly how I was going to use this stamp soon as I saw it!

Since we've had a very long, freezing cold Winter here in Toronto I've been dreaming of warm relaxing beaches, with sand and a beautiful blue sky!

Perhaps Mr Fox is in Hawaii?

I decided on the sentiment "Aloha" after reading the following on Wikipedia ..

"Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say goodbye and hello. "Aloha" is also included in the state nickname of Hawaii, the "Aloha State".

The flowers are actually from a Hawaiian Lei bought from the dollar store. I dissemble it for a floral look on the design.

Sewing stitches, lightly sponged paint and glossy accents have been added to the card too.

Thanks for peeking in, I hope your Wednesday is a great!

St. Patty's Day shaker card

St Patty's day is just a few days away so I got busy and created this shaker card to help celebrate the day! The plastic window is packaging from a pack of metal brads. This image is from High Hopes called Leapin' Leprechaun. He's such a cutie!! :)

Hope your able to play along in this months challenge over at High Hopes.

Moose on the Loose!

Thanks for peeking in today, Happy Wednesday!

Just wanted to share a little manly card made with High Hopes Maurice. I loooove this stamp and it truly makes me smile every time I see him.

I added hh to the gas tank for "High Hopes" as it was a friend's suggestion to do so. She also mentioned that it would be fun to put a design on the tank like flames which I will totally have to try next time. I think also I will add some glossy accents for some more added details.

The pattern paper I've had in my stash for almost as long as I've been scrapbooking. Its actually Harley Davidson pattern paper, how perfect was that ??! The tag and gas tank monogram were both created with rub-ons.

The heart although hard to see is like a leatherette material and I choose the ribbon as it reminded me of the stitching in leather biker bags along with the metal eyelets.
