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!!

That is so funny! My kind of hen party! Great job on all of them.
Hugs, Pat Smith

I love that you chose chooks because I am very envious of your real life hens. At home we have toooo many foxes but I would love to have fresh eggs. Now I am also envious of these girls - they are great. Thanks.

Such a cute hen party card. Is that Betty? I thought she was black, though.
Posted by: SueB | January 10, 2011 at 10:30 PM
What a great idea with the hens. I love both projects and all your work. Keep up the beautiful card.
Posted by: Becky | January 10, 2011 at 10:22 PM
Your hens are so cute all lined up and popped up and ready to go! I love how you gave one speckles, and all the coloring is wonderful. At first, I thought the goat was B3, but then I realized she didn't have any glitter on her horns and she didn't have her horns caught in the fence, so perhaps not . . . .
Posted by: Shellie Daniel | January 10, 2011 at 10:05 PM
Love the party chickens ... very cute card. Is the goat called Buddy?
Posted by: Vicki U | January 10, 2011 at 10:00 PM
Anna I have always adored your chicken images and these are so sweet and I love the way you colored them. Cute card!
Posted by: Mary Lou Kemp | January 10, 2011 at 09:55 PM
