Winter Time ~

Welcome to December at the Hoedown, and to Winter!

Baby it's cold outside....in some parts of the world anyway!  We've decided to play in the snow, and we're inviting you to come along and show us what you create with a Winter theme!

But first things first...a big shout out to those who participated in last month's Thank You challenge!

Here are the lucky winners:

Myrna Sweet

Using  Silly Birds with Hats, I love the bright and fun colors!  Hooray Myrna!!!

and...

Jackie C.

The beautiful color combination and sweet papers are really beautiful here!

Congrats ladies!!  Contact Monica at info@hambostamps.com 

Alrighty then, so let's get back to Winter now!  Let's think snow, snowflakes, sleds, sweaters, mittens, hot chocolate, and whatever else comes to your mind when you think of Winter!

  There are TWO free digital images up for grabs!

Here's a bit of inspiration for you:

 

Jeannie - Hats Off

Lyn - Ice Hole Set

Judy - Snowmen

 Jane - Mad Scientist

You can use any company's image for this challenge but if you have a Hambo image, why not use it? If you don't have a Hambo image, feel free to grab a freebie.

The two winners of the challenge will receive a free digi of their choice from the Hambo digi store. You can enter this challenge once with a non-Hambo image or as many times as you would like if you are using Hambo images.

Please link your challenge projects using the inlinkz button below. If you are uploading to an online gallery, use HamboHoedown1407 as your keywords so we can find your creations. If you are using a Hambo image, add Hambo as a keyword too!

Thanks Again!

Put A Little Love in Your Heart

Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown! 

Our Hoedown Challenge is a twice-a-month challenge, on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Participants can use ANY image to play along, as long as the challenge requirement is met. So that means more time to play and create something fantastic to share!

Two winners will be chosen from each challenge, Best in Show, and a random Queen of the Hoedown. Those winners will each receive a Hambo digital image as their prize, as well as a fun badge for their blogs.

 

We love all sorts of animals and had a lot of fun designing cards using them the last two weeks, and we hope our winners did too!

Our Best in Show for the Animal Challenge goes to...

13. Libby Hickson

The trophy is yours!

  

 This week's randomly drawn 
QUEEN OF THE HOEDOWN is... 

8. Carolyn

Grab the winner's button for your blogs,

and be sure to email Monica 

at info@hambostamps.com 

with your choice of any digi image from the store here.

The Hoedown Challenge is open to ALL images, from any company, digital or rubber. Our prize winners, however, will be chosen from those using Hambo images. So ANYONE is welcome to play with ANY image for fun. Come join us!

***Our challenge for Hoedown #142 is to create a project with a LOVE theme - sentiments or images that show love (thinking more romantic love here than a child/parent love.) Your image could be totally random but tie it in with a sentiment, or vice versa. *** 

Our Bacon Bits DT members created some sweet and fun samples for you today to inspire you~! Be sure to visit their blogs and leave them some Hambo love!
