Happy One Year Birthday to our challenge! THANK YOU for helping to make it a success and so much fun! We have lots in store for you today, so be sure to read all the fine print, so you don't miss out on the party celebrating! And we are celebrating in style today with a special cake and a special image just for you!

Our challenge this week is to make a BIRTHDAY PROJECT using Bailey Cupcake!

And of course we will need to see how the real Bailey is doing. The pictures we showed you two weeks ago were taken in December and he has grown a lot! Keep reading!

We formally introduced our NEW DESIGN TEAM (aka Bacon Bits) all last weekend at Talk to the Ham, and today you get to have a peek at their amazing art! All of their blogs are listed in the left sidebar, as well as linked to their names under their creations for this week. Be sure to visit them and show them some Hoedown love! Take a look at the FABULOUS work they did this week:

Remember that you don't have to use Bailey Cupcake. BUT we do require HAMBO images only --- and you can use ANY of those for our challenge this week! We have a wonderful line of rubber images, as well as digis and we like seeing those too!

And for MORE PARTY FUN: Party Participants will receive next week's image FREE in their mailboxes, PLUS those that use Bailey Cupcake will receive an EXTRA GOODY BAG with your choice of any digi in the Hambo Digital Store FREE. SO TWO IMAGES to celebrate!! Remember, you can use any Hambo image for our birthday challenge that you like, but to receive TWO IMAGES next week, you must use BAILEY CUPCAKE!

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!  On Friday at Talk to the Ham, there will be an incredible three-day SALE you won't want to miss. I mean, who would pass up the opportunity to get YOUR ENTIRE ORDER FREE???!!! Check it out!
