Sweet Thoughts for a Cupcake Kind of Day!

Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown! 

We have a big change in store today, so get your Piggy ears on! Starting today, the Hoedown Challenge is open to ALL images, from any company, digital or rubber! We will no longer be requiring Hambo images exclusively to play along each week!

Our prize winners, however, will be chosen from those using Hambo images. So ANYONE is welcome to play with ANY image! Come join us and help spread the word!

Our challenge this week is brought to you by BEAR CUPCAKE!

If you played in our challenge last week, you were emailed Bear Cupcake FREE! Our challenge this week is to create a design that incorporates both a LARGE and a SMALL element in your project. 

Those using Hambo images will be sent a FREE image to use in next week's challenge, plus will be up for our weekly prizes.

For your inspiration and enjoyment, we have some fabulous creations from our Bacon Bits! Please visit their blogs (listed in the sidebar) today for their challenge details and leave them some Hoedown love!

Our New Design Team Rocks!

It's a special day at the Hoedown! We have a brand new challenge, and a brand new Design Team! AND we have a special guest, who will be introducing it all! 

If you have followed the Hambo Hoedown for any length of time, you know that Bailey (above) is Hambo Stamps' very own Bailey Hunter, who lives with owners Monica and Tim and the Hunter kids in Virginia. He loves posing for his own line of digital images and this one is no exception! You can read more about Bailey here.

Introducing.....BAILEY ROCKS!
(Did you notice the shape of his guitar?)  
Our challenge this week is to use Bailey Rocks and add some metal to your creation!

We formally introduced our NEW DESIGN TEAM (aka Bacon Bits) all last week at Talk to the Ham, and today you get to have a peek at their amazing art! All of their blogs are 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 using Bailey Rocks:
