    Fabulous card. Thank you for joining the High Hopes Challenge. Unfortunately, you did not use a High Hopes image so your card can not be entered into the drawing for the prize. There is still another week if you would like to re-enter using a High Hopes image.

    Absolutely 100% adorable . Love everything about it!

    You asked about the hougie board. Like any other board it has it's pro's and con's. Ideally I would have liked the incremants to be slightly smaller i.e 1/4 cm instead of 1/2 cm and 1/8th inch instead of every 1/2 , but thats only a small minus really. I love the fact that's it double sided though , so much better value for money and no need to faff around storing loads of boards. As you can see I use it alot , one of the best crafty buys i have had so far.
