Crissy Armstrong, the illustrator over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps, has been busy busy BUSY! Today is a new image release day, and I must say it's one of my favorite releases yet! There's also a fun new blog for you to enjoy which is all about High Hopes Rubber Stamps. There's a challenge posted with big incentive, so check it out!
To celebrate today's release, I made this "eat cake" card featuring one of Crissy's new dragon images. I love this little chubster, Albert.
Paula Williamson caught my eye recently with this card and with this card -- her colored pencil technique is wayyyyy cool! Thanks for the inspiration, Paula!
The EAT CAKE sentiment on this card is from my unmounted birthday sentiment set called 29 Again, from Whipper Snapper.
Absolutley gorgeous....the colors are great!Love this stamp!!!
Have a great day.

Anna,
I told my kids what you said about the Wii :) They keep trying to tell me, "Mom, you'd like this game, Mom, you'd be good at this game..." ;)
So, I'll have to break down and try the new one...but I'm terrible at MarioKart! Anyway...still a gorgeous card...love it!
