Welcome Guest Designer Isha Gupta!

Today we welcome Isha Gupta to the Guest spot in the Pig Pen! Isha is a former Bacon Bits DT member, and we are thrilled to have her share a cool, trendy and oh-so-hot neon design with us today!

Isha says:

I'm Isha Gupta. I am a stay-at-home mom to my two daughters.  I love to read, sing, bake, crochet, or play Board Games with my younger daughter in my free time. I've always been creative but got hooked on stamping about three years ago. 

I've been published in Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking, CARDS, CardMaker, Take Ten, Just Cards and Parchment Craft magazines. I recently was on the cover of CardMaker Spring 2014 and Paper Crafts 350 Cards & Gifts. 

I love exploring new techniques and applying them to my projects. One of my favorite techniques is creating watercolor backgrounds with stamps and ink. Two styles you will see most from me are cute and whimsical, classic and traditional.

I am absolutely delighted to be here at Hambo as a guest designer. My love for Hambo stamps started when I was in the team last year!

We are glad to have Isha back with us - if only for a day! Take a look at her adorable and eye-catching design:

LOVE the neon! Never Sent Flours (1418) and Flours (1417) are available here.

Looks Cold to Me!

Who is That Leading the Sleigh?

We welcome Guest Designer Kelli Hull to the Pig Pen today! I adore this girl and her fun personality. And she is a Dallas Cowboys fan too, so there ya go!!

Kelli has such a great sense of humor, and I knew she and Hambo images would get along just fine. So, introducing.... Reindeer Horse! Ha!! 

The Farm Pack isn't quite the same, since Farm Horse is leading Santa's sleigh! Don't you love his red nose?

You can read all about Kelli's creation at her blog, Stamping With A Dream! Watch for another fun creation from Kelli later this month!

You're Extra Special!

Today I am thrilled to introduce our "extra-special" Guest Designer for the day - Bev Gerard of Savor the Journey.

I have had the opportunity to work with Bev on a couple of Design Teams and she is one of the sweetest people I have met online. I hope to say someday that I have met her in person!

She designed the cutest greeting for us today using one of our digital images, Paper Boy.

Isn't her coloring and paper piecing great? I love that she used some newsprint paper for her background. Bev will be joining us for one of our challenges in December, so you can look forward to another one of her creations coming up!

Thank you, Bev, for being our Guest Designer today!
Stop by her blog and leave her some Hambo love!

If I Had a Hammer....

Who is old enough to remember that song? We used to sing it on bus trips all the time - and then you couldn't get it out of your head :)

I am sure that Carpenter has a hammer somewhere -- probably hanging on the back or side loop of those pants. He is "on the level" though :) and is here to wish you a happy day!

Our Guest Designer today is a former Hambo Stamps Design Team member, and one very talented artist - Holly McMillen!  She has colored Carpenter up oh so nicely and paired him with some perfect DP.

Holly was actually the one that introduced me to my first Hambo Stamps image and I have had the opportunity to spend time with her and her lovely clan of boys a couple of times.  In her own words, Holly said, "I have always held Monica and Tim in high regard and it's an honor to do this for them and Hambo!"

Thank you, Holly, for sharing this super fun design with us today! Give her some love at her blog!

Carpenter is 30% off through the 13th, while HOGTOBERFEST is going on! in fact, the ENTIRE Hambo store is 30% off, so grab those deals while you can! 

Oh -- and have a happy day!
