High Hopes challenge #43

Good Sunday morning, everyone!!! Summer vacation is over & the High Hopes challenges are back! Woohooooo.....I've so missed our challenges!!!

Today's challenge is brought to you by.....ME!!!!!! I chose the theme "Fall Into Autumn".....so get out those fall images!! If you don't have any, no worries.....just incorporate some lovely fall colors into your card!! Fall colors are my favorite!!




I chose to use an oldie but a goodie.....Fall Joy! Oh, how I love those rascally raccoons!! I used Prismas & gamsol to color these critters, & since the image is so big I kept the embellishments to a minimum. I used my Martha leaf border punch to not only do the border, but also to punch 3 leaves for the corner. I added Crystal Effects & Dazzling Diamonds glitter to them.....because leaves are sparkly, right? LOL! A couple of flowers in the corner & that was it!! The papers are SU's Basic Black & Old Olive, & the pattern pp is Reminisce.



Pic of the inside.....wow does it look washed out. Guess I should have worked harder with the photo editor, lol!!

If you'd like to play along, be sure to add a link to THIS POST on the High Hopes blog.....you will be entered to win a couple of High Hopes goodies!! Be sure to check out the blog anyway to see all the other Divas' amazing fall creations!!!

I have some more exciting news!! 7 Kids College Fund will soon be carrying High Hopes stamps!! I know many of you in the US were wondering where you were going to buy them now, since High Hopes is only selling to wholesalers. I'm so glad Tab will be carrying them......but she needs your help in deciding which ones to carry! Read THIS POST on her blog, & email her with your thoughts!!

Well that's it's from me today!! Happy Labor Day weekend to all my friends! It's a gorgeous one here.....which is not the norm, lol. Usually it's rainy & cold. I guess we had enough of that yucky weather all summer, Mother Nature must have felt bad & given us great weather for the long weekend!! Enjoy!!!
