The bad news is that I am not feeling good today. I got bit by a black fly last night and I am allergic to them. They always bite by my eyes. I look like someone hit me. My eye is very swollen, itches, and is kinda blistered. Sometimes I get a fever when I get bit. This time I just have a headache.
The Good News...I had the nicest surprise today, which makes everything better. When I went to the mail there were two stamps from High Hopes. I called about a week ago to order an ant stamp. I was having trouble using the web sight and they were having phone trouble. Then I spoke to Tina. She was so sweet and said because I was a fan that she was just going to send it to me. Then she went and sent me two stamps. I was so excited that the headache couldn't stop me from making a card. Isn't it cute? When I was little my mom and I would sing the song High Hopes. It is about a little ant that tries to move a rubber tree plant. I got the move "Hole in the Head" last week and watched it with my hubby. That is the 1959 movie that the song comes from. He said he enjoyed watching the movie. I just think that is the greatest name for a rubber stamp store. I hope you like my card I am going to enter in two challenges. The one at High Hopes and Stamptacular.
The card is on kraft paper, I colored my High Hopes ant with copic markers, I cut circles and taped them around the back to make it look like a flower and I doodled the petals with a green jell pen and the edge of the card with a brown fine point marker. The ribbon at the bottom is something I had. I love the foot prints. They are from the little ant tracking mud in from the garden. I hope you like it as much as I do.

This is a super fun card! Great idea to edge your oval with circles...I never would've known you did that, thought it was a scalloped oval. Hope you are feeling better soon, I dealt with some facial swelling last year and it is no walk in the park. Plus you can't really go anywhere!
This is way too cute and I sure do remember the song! As a matter of fact, you just put it in my head for the rest of the day - LOL!
Sure hope that eye gets better. How awful to be bitten like that!
Hugs,

So sorry for your "fly trouble", but so happy you got 2 new stamps. Very cute card. Thanks for joining our challenge
Wonderful card Linda, and love the cute ant image.
Hope your eye is soon feeling better, my OH was bitten yesterday on the back of his hand, the tiniest little pinprick bite, but his hand is completely swollen up. Not sure what bit him, but I've never seen such a bad reaction to a bite from something here in the UK.
Thank you for joining the Stamptacular challenge.
