High Hopes Challenge #4!!!

7:00 AM

Well, it's my favourite part of the week (and not just because I'm flying on an airplane as you read this...baaaaaahahahaaaaaa!)..it's time for another High Hopes Challenge!! yaaaaay!!

This time the challenge was to make anything BUT a card! Well, I don't generally like to do things out of the box....or rather out of my own comfort zone, so this was a little bit of a challenge for me. I'm not so good at the altering thing. But I did one anyway and I think my little altered notebook turned out pretty cute!

I had to use my new Be Merry dp by My Mind's Eye that I got from Phebe at The Town Scrapper. The colours are just SO pretty together! I used Bear-ly Warming Up as my main image and the sentiment just went perfectly with it!

I covered the notebook, distressed around the edges with my sanding block, made a binding using Regal Rose cardstock and added a strip of pink ric rack. Then I made a Cool Caribbean background using an oval Nestabilities die and pop dotted my polar bear on top!

Be sure to pop over to the HHBlog and check out what some of the other gals have made for your crafting inspiration!!!

See you next week!!!
