Duck Duck Goose! It's an Animal Challenge!

Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown

and Week 2 of our ANIMALS Challenge!

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. You can see our current winners 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 #141 is to create a project using ANY ANIMAL.*** 

Our Bacon Bits DT members created some fun samples for you using some of the famous Hambo pigs. We thought we would start the year off with our Hambo mascot and highlight images in the Hambo line that are full of ham~!


Deborah has an adorable thinking of you greeting that is just full of it -- LOVE that is!

Jane shares her sweet grandson with us in her artist palette design:

Judy uses Floating Pig and Just Pigcause to convey her all-occasion wishes:

ANY ANIMAL fulfills the challenge requirement! You might use one of my favorites, Big Giraffe (5116), as Jane did here:

Check out our Animal galleries for more Hambo animal fun!

Portrait of my Love

Hi there, Jane here. As you know, this weeks hoedown challenge theme is all about "Animals", create a project with animals included, I adore cows, sheep, and especially pigs....(not in real life, but cute little images!!), and they don't come cuter than each and every one of the Hambo pigs, so today I have used the ARTIST PIG digital image, and the easel from the PAINTER digital image. 

After printing off my images, coloring them, and cutting them out, I created my own background with acrylic paints and a bit of drywall tape, I cut out a photo of my grandson after altering it in paper artist, then stuck it to the easel, trying to make it look like the piggys painting, isn't he just the cutest thing ever!!
