I want to announce to all who are interested that I have ended my contract with High Hopes Stamps and will no longer be illustrating for them. It was not an easy decision to make, as I have been with them since spring, 2005. I really don't want to stop sharing my stamp illustrations with you, and I hope I can continue in some form.
I do not know what Tina and Bethany have planned, so I would kindly ask that you direct any questions about High Hopes to them at their e-mail address here: highhopesstamps@gmail.com and speak to Bethany.
I have the highest regard for the High Hopes family and have enjoyed the time we shared working together. Drawing for them these four years has given me so many things that I treasure; new friendships, insights into the stamping business, and growth as an artist and a leader. For that I will always be grateful.
Thanks to you too, my readers who started off as fans of High Hopes and became my friends! I still plan to do tutorials and share how-to techniques, as I love to do that for you. I know there is a bright future ahead of me in art and I really wish to continue illustrating stamp designs so that I can keep on sharing new images with you.
Chat soon!

Crissy--you are the reason I fell in love with High Hopes stamps. You are so amazingly talented and wonderful...I know you will be heading down another great path (or may already be on that one now!)....keep us posted cause if you are drawin----I'm buyin!
ReplyDeletehugs and love!
Hi Chrissy, sorry to hear you are leaving High Hopes, I really did enjoy your stamps. Lately I have been purchasing a number of digital images and I like it when you have the option of either rubber stamp or digital. I live in a community where I cannot obtain stamps so I like it when I can order digital. I'm sure you would have a great following.
