Feeling A Little Distressed?

Oh my goodness, did we love your easel cards! We hope you didn't feel distressed when you began....however, if you are like me, you ended up loving the easel card challenge! Congratulations to  18. Andrea J   who is this week's Queen of the Hoedown!

You can snag the winner's button for your blog and be sure to email Monica at info@hambostamps.com with your choice of any digi image from the store here. Thank you to everyone who played in the Easel Challenge with Penguin Bunny and other Hambo images! We loved seeing all of your creativity and different things you did with shapes and twists and embellishments!

This week's challenge will be even more "distressing"!  OGRE is here to help those in distress! Using one of the sentiments and Ogre, make a project that has distressing on it somewhere (distress Ink, distress your paper edges, etc.).

Gloria made two terrific cards for this challenge and both are awesome!

Great designer papers and layout!

I love his combed hair and flowers in this one!

Here is one of my favorite cards that Gloria has made for past Hoedowns:

Thanks for joining us this week, Gloria!

Everyone that followed last week's challenge, linked a card to the blog post and emailed us a photo of their card received this week's challenge image FREE!  So check your mailboxes! If you didn't get your card linked in time or forgot to email us (the deadline is always 10 PM CST Tuesday night before the new challenge), you can still play along.  Use ANY Hambo image on your project - just make sure you follow the theme! Link up, email us, and you will be back in the loop for the next free image!

Joy made a sweet card using Hambo's rubber images. This rabbit has a couple of reasons to be distressed!

Joy using Rabbit's Foot - 2924 and Bounce Back Soon - 2913

And Karin's pig has been distressed about Joy's rabbit's foot. I think after this, all will be well.

Karin using Sow Have You Been? - 1917 and Balloon Pig - 1903
