Bec has created this sparkle-icious creation using the NEW fairy set..LOVE how she has used the large and the mini fairies on the one Creation!!

This is Fairy Lily Rose from the NEW rubber stamp Fairy set :) ... She is stamped in pale ink and then coloured with COPICS and SPICA pens for the sparkle!!

Gin's inspiration for you uses Silk Fairy and Pan Man from the Magical Tree release...

The Magical Tree Release

Good evening! It's Time for a whimsical NEW release here at Hatter's Hope! This set is inspired by Enid Blyton's Enchanted Forest/ Magic Faraway Tree books.

We have - The Silk Fairy.... inspired by Silky.. the beautiful fairy with her golden mop of hair always the hostess with some yummy treats to share.... There's Panman.... yup... He's inspired by that funny old man surrounded by all his pots and pans ... There's Mr MoonHead... who of course is inspired by the loveable Moonface... with his head looking much like a fullmoon!!!

There's mushrooms and a tree branch .... and MORE fairies... you might remember CharlotteRose and LilyRose were digis at Mad for Markers... well they have jumped off their little mushroom seats and turned into RUBBER... ***AND BREAKING NEWS *** they arrived TODAY!!! Perfect timing!!!! So they are available to purchase today and if you order this weekend I might even get to the post office on Monday... if not it will be NEXT year )
(The Alice and Mad Hatter stamps are now here too!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Here are some creations using these new images by the DT...We are pleased to have the lovely Rose joining us as a guest this month.... :)

Gone to the Dogs

I've not done a good job of keeping up with the 25 days of Christmas... Should have planned this out a little better!

So I thought for these last three days you could choose 3 DOG Digis (M4M store) of your choice....
Day 19, 20, 21

only 4 more left to go .. let's see if we can keep up now!!! lol!

Day 18 :: Gumnut Isabella is Clara

Good afternoon!!! Well did you see the Google pic today?? I  love seeing the different ones they put up... If you haven't go and look! lol!! So today is apparently the 120th anniversary of the Nutcracker ballet ... so what better image for today's FREE image than our very own Gumnut Isabella dancing the part of Clara :)

If you would like her to colour up then please send Sammi an email :)

catching up on 25 days of Christmas

Well life here is a little crazy... so we're a little behind with the 25 days of Christmas... we're already at the 17th of December.. and I'm only up to day 11 of my FREE image giveaways...
so today is CATCH up day...

I have combined Day 12, 13,14, 15, 16 and 17  to make a set of tags... images can also be available separately .. email your requests through to me.

To save the tags to your computer click on the picture to make it bigger then you should be able to download.. I think this is easier than making you go through the store, if you do take it please let us know though :) and if you make something we'd LOVE to see it!!

Whilst waiting..... a Freebie

I thought whilst waiting for 6pm Friday and the marvelous fun we are going to have for the tea party that I would give you all something to colour .. something that has come from the land of story and is quite popular at the moment again with the lastest Twilight movie - Breaking Dawn II out. I have not yet seen it but I did read the books some time ago... enough blabbering on .. Here is a card the amazing Tanya whipped up with the image....

and my Instagram of the coloured art/ postcard I did!

If you would like this image to colour send an email to me requesting one :) We would love to see what you create with this image!!! :D

Welcome!!!

We are very excited... We have a great team lined up creating Marvelous creations to share with you - find out who they all are HERE!

Our First challenge will go LIVE on the 24th November... but firstly we would love for you to join us at 6pm (Sydney time) on the 23rd November just in time for TEA... Our "tea party" will actually be a Stamp release AND the official LAUNCH of Hatter's Hope.

Meanwhile feel free to invite your friends ... the more the merrier.... We will have a SPECIAL little present for someone who has shared this page on their blog/ facebook page... please leave us a comment to say how you shared the news about our launch/ our blog :)
