It is time once again for the Hambo Hoedown Challenge - This time use ANY Hambo image digital or rubber and create a monochromatic card in a color you don't normally use. If you want they even have a couple of FREE digital images you can use to try them out. If you get your image loaded and emailed in time, then they will email a different FREE image to use in next week's challenge. All you have to do is follow the directions and enter in time and you are a WINNER!! Have fun! I usually only use red as a highlight, but not often. I barely had enough in my scraps even to make the card! I did like how it reminded me of blood though!
Mother's Day this year was busy. I was in the middle of state testing at school. It seemed to creep up on me and boom it was here! I did manage to make three cards (Mom, Step-Mom, and Mother-in-Law) and I think that they all got them in time too! That in and of itself is a feat. Simple card, yet elegant enough for such a special day. One of my attempts at two step stamping with an old Stampin' Up set that I have.Happy Mother's Day Mom!
So I am behind in posting this card. I made it for my mother in law for her birthday, whose birthday is on May 5th. The inside of the card says: sing to the tune of "La Cucaracha"
Cinco de Mayo
Cino de Mayo
Happy Birthday to you!

It is a Gate Fold card this time with the Hambo Hoedown Challenge. Every week they have a new challenge. If you complete the challenge on time using one of their rubber or digital stamps(they even have some FREE digital stamps you can use!) they will give you a new digital image FREE from their store!! All you have to do is participate on time! They have wonderful fun images and sayings that go with their stamps. Have fun!
For my entry this time, I made a card for my friend's son who is going away to cub scout camp. This was my first gate fold card, and much easier than I thought it would be. I think this possum is one of my favorite images.
This week's challenge at the Hambo Hoedown is to use a Hambo image along with twine, jute, cord, string or fibers on your project! No ribbon! You can use the cute Pig Inmate Digi they have available in their store, but if you don't have that you can use ANY Hambo image you like: Rubber or Digi. They even have a few FREE digi images that you can use. You can find them here. If you enter into the challenge on time, they will even send you a digital image for FREE to use on next week's challenge. How is that for a deal!!!!
Happy Father's Day to Dad and Grandpa. I love you both very much. We spent Friday night together playing playing cards and spending time together and today having a wonderful lunch together after church. Kevin, Heather and I all went in and got Dad a photo matted and framed that he wanted for his office and I went with edible cards this year. Sure hope they taste good. I love you both with all of my heart. Thank to all your help Kerri! Be sure to check out her blog. She has tremendous ideas. Also to Dustin Pike, for his wonderful images!
Again HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!
