There's 'Snow' Friend Like You!

Welcome to the 100th Challenge of the Hambo Hoedown! We owe the success of our challenge to all of our friends and customers out there who love to laugh, and to you we say:
"There's 'Snow' Friend Like You!

Our challenge this week is brought to you by Snow Heart!

For your inspiration and enjoyment, we have some fabulous creations from our Bacon Bits, whose term has come to an end! We have loved having Carolyn, Deborah, Jan, Jane, Kecia, and Lyn in the Pig Pen the last four months, and are sad to say goodbye to them as a team. Please visit their blogs (listed in the sidebar) today and leave them some Hoedown love!

Your Head Will Spin!

"What goes up, must come down. Spinning Plate got to go 'round...."

Anyone else old enough to remember the song "Spinning Wheel"? Well, it's not exactly a wheel, but it's PLATE-SPINNER and I bet a lot of you can relate. I know I can! If fact, Monica said this digi was definitely a picture of my life! Ha! If so, the plates are PINK~!

This image is not free, unless you played in our challenge last week. BUY IT HERE!

Our challenge this week is to use PLATE-SPINNER and one of the sentiments, and make a circle shaped card that has spirals or swirls somewhere on it~!

Here are some wonderful creations from our Bacon Bits Team to give you some inspiration~!
