There's An Artist in All of Us

Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown!

If you are new to our challenge, click on the link in the left sidebar to see how this all works. Play along each week with a Hambo Stamps image (rubber or digital) and you are in the loop for some awesome FREE images! Don't have any Hambo images yet? Click HERE for Freebies! We would love to have you join us!

Oh it is hard to say goodbye! We have LOVED working with the girls on the Bacon Bits team this term, and we will miss their artistic contributions here! 
But the time has come to say goodbye....

THANK YOU

Beverly + Dawn + Jenn + Paula

for being a part of the Hambo team these last four months.  We have loved every minute!
Leave them some love today on their blogs too!

If you have been following Talk to the Ham this week, you know that Carolina and Deborah will be returning for the next term as Captains of our new teams: Team Squeal and Team Oink, respectively! Our last two new Bacon Bits will be revealed on Thursday and Friday of this week, and they will all be at the Hoedown next week to start June off right!

Our challenge for this week certainly brought out the artist side of Beverly, Deborah and Jenn. Take a look (You can click on the Bacon Bits' links in the sidebar to see their creations close-up!):

See a pattern? It's a fabulous sketch this week, made by Deborah!

Sketch + Artist Pig = Hambo Hoedown 68! 

 

Everyone that followed last week's challenge, linked a card to the blog post and used the official digi name, and emailed us a photo of their card on time (hambodesignteam@gmail.com) received this week's image FREE! All FOUR things must be completed to receive the next freebie! So check your mailboxes! Images are sent by Wednesday mornings at 7 AM.

Of course, since this is a HAMBO HOEDOWN challenge, you can use other Hambo images with the challenge too! BUT -- You gotta use the above sketch! It is fine to flip the sketch, change panel sizes, shapes, card size and border -- a little tweaking is fine -- but let’s see those main elements of the posted layout please.

And now for our two winners! We give two awards each week, and you can read all about them in the sidebar. 

Our first award is Best in Show. And our Best in Show this week goes to............3. Ree !  

Look closely at her piercing along the bottom! Isn't that fun? And the bandaid die cuts at the top are so clever!

The trophy is yours, Ree! 

Our randomly chosen Queen of the Hoedown this week is......21. Anita A. !

Congratulations, Anita! Grab 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.
