It's an honor and privilege to have been asked to participate in the 100th Challenge Blog Hop Celebration for High Hopes Stamps! You'll want to start at the beginning of this hop, and read all of the details HERE on the High Hopes blog. There are fantastic prizes awarded - play along!!
As a past designer for High Hopes, I have quite a few images in my collection. For today's challenge it was "Anything Goes!" I chose a couple of small (but favorite), and somehow personal, images for my projects. Of course, I chose the CHICKEN! (Act surprised!) This flock of hens is all about celebrating with High Hopes! We've got Poof, Big Red, Butternut, Taffy and Speckles, ready for the hen party. Cluck, cluck! Let's get this party started!
I stamped the chicken image several times and colored each hen with markers. I cut each one out, and adhered them individually to the card using various heights of dimensional adhesive. And hey, how about that HAY!
I also made this simple little valentine themed tin. Can you tell me the name of the GOAT featured on the front?! There are lots and lots of Valentine themed images stamped on white cardstock, ready to be colored, tucked inside the tin. A handful of colored pencils complete the gift. This will be a fun little gift to send to a friend!
Your next stop on today's High Hopes Blog Hop is Debby!
Have fun!!
All stamped image by High Hopes Stamps.
The farm animals are my favorite from High HOpes!

I am such a huge fan of your work - you make coloring an image look so easy plus your cards are always such fun to look at. Another great creation Anna - those chickens look as if they're saying "I'm glad I'm not outside in that white stuff. We'll just party in the henhouse till spring!" And the goat looks like he's ready to nibble on the ribbon. Thanks for sharing!
