If you are following our hop you should have arrived here from my buddy Karen's blog!! (Waving Karen !!) If you have lost your way just return to the High Hopes blog and you'll be able to get yourself back on track!!

Now, for my card today, I chose Melissa's sweet image "Teacup Mouse"!! This is my favourite image in Melissa's release as I have a soft spot for these furry little creatures. I know, I know, not the typical female response, but I really do think they are cute!! I love the sentiment that goes with this image too!! There is also a second sentiment with this release that says, "Have a mice day!" along with more mousey images for you to play with!!

So there's my card--now for the really cool part--Do you want to win 2 free stamps from Melissa's release--all you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog and then continue the hop over on Sirpa's blog!! There will be 4 random blogs that will be drawing a winner and it just might be YOU!!!!

High Hopes Has Another New Artist--Can You Guess Who??

If you've been by my blog or the High Hopes blog in the last couple of days you will have noticed all the excitement around Dustin Pike's new release!! Judging by your responses Dustin did not disappoint!! His new images are fantastic and we had so much fun showing them off to you!! Thanks to everyone who joined in the hop and left so many nice comments!!

Before we get on to our new artist--I have been chosen as one of the DT members who gets to pick a winner of 2 new Dustin Pike stamps!! Using Random Interger.com it picked #59 for me so that means Legojenta is the winner from my blog!! Thanks Legojenta for playing along and please contact Nikki @ nichola.fairbairn@googlemail.com with your mailing info & choice of stamps!!

Now...are you ready for round two??? High Hopes has signed another fabulous artist who brings with her a flare for the feminine!! Her name is Melissa Jenkins and you're going to love her art!!

Starting today & continuing tomorrow the High Hopes DT will be giving you some sneak peeks at Melissa's wonderful images!! On Friday, we will be having another blog hop with some really cool giveaways!!

Here's my first sneak peek!! I used Melissa's sweet image called "Cheesy Mouse"!

I chose to do a easel card this time round...






I bought this sentiment stamp in the US about 3 years ago and thought it was humurous!! I didn't really have a image to go with it at the time so it's been sitting, simmering in my drawer, wating for the perfect occasion. When I saw Melissa's "Cheesy Mouse" I knew I had a match!!

That's it for me today~thanks for stopping by!! Pop in again tomorrow for another sneak peek!! Check out the rest of other DT sneak peeks on the High Hopes blog as well!! Hope you'll be able to join us for the hop on Friday!

Oh, I almost forgot... anyone interested in a chance to win Melissa's entire release?? Then pop on over to the High Hopes blog--grab the blinkie like the one on my sidebar, leave a comment and let everyone you know in blogland in on our secret!! You just might get a Cheesy Mouse of your own :O)

Have a blessed day!!!
