creations that depict a pig's favorite actor - Kevin Bacon! <span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Using any Hambo image, rubber,
clear or digital, we created a project that was inspired by any Kevin Bacon
movie. It could be our favorite, or just one that was fun to design. </span>If you arrived here from <strong><a href="http://janeelizabethssworld.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">Jane's blog</span></a></strong> you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start
back at the beginning at the <a href="http://hambostamps.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #aa5c2a;">Hambo
blog</span></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to make sure you are eligible
for the hopper prize!<br /><br />A prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all of the blogs along the way. Another prize will be awarded to one participant whose
bacon-themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way!
The winners will be announced on the Hambo company <span style="font-family: inherit;">blog,
</span></span><a href="http://hambostamps.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #aa5c2a; font-family: inherit;">Talk to the Ham</span></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">, on Wednesday, April 16th</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Comments are great anytime, but the deadline for the hopper prize is Monday April 14 at 10 PM EDT. Don't miss it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>Now for my creation. Kevin Bacon has been a prolific actor, so there were lots of movies to choose from. I chose Tremors! Tremors is a comedy, horror, sci-fi movie about the people of a small isolated town who defend themselves against strange underground snakelike creatures which are killing them one by one. I designed a side-step card with one of Hambo's snakelike creatures...Rattler.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
But you can't make a scary card using Hambo's <a href="http://hambostamps.com/digishop/animals/rattler/">Rattler</a>. He's just too darn cute! He comes with two more sentiments, but I love this one. I almost added to the sentiment. I thought "What's Shakin' Bacon?" would have been perfect for the hop.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed by card. Have you seen Tremors? If not, click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvqlk6gLcXo">here</a> to watch a short trailer. You might decide it's a movie you want to see sometime. <br />

When I started this blog I had planned to include some post about my other hobby, knitting. I never seemed to get around to it. So, I've decided to include some pics of my knitting projects every now and then. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned to knit when I was about 12...a long time ago!! I never really learned to do anything but knit and purl. It really didn't interest me at the time. About five years ago my sister was visiting from Florida and she had learned to knit. That got me interested again and I've found that I really enjoy it. I've knit mostly shawls, wraps, scarves and cowls. I haven't tried socks or sweaters, but they're on my knitting bucket list. Here's one of the shawls that I knitted a few years ago for my friend Maggie's 6oth birthday. I recently used this pattern and the same yarn to knit a shawl for my BFF's mom who celebrated her 84th birthday.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've done much more knitting than stamping this summer so I'll include some knitting posts every now and then. But I definitely plan to get back to stamping and paper crafting projects soon. </div>

I made a slanted tri-fold card using an image from this week's sponsor, <a href="http://fred-she-said.blogspot.com/">Fred She Said</a> called <em><a href="http://fred-she-said-store.blogspot.com/2013/02/marigolds-morpho-sets.html">Marigolds & Morpho.</a></em><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make a slanted tri-fold card I cut the first and third panels in half diagonally from the top of the foldline to the bottom right and left corners. When the two outer panels are folded in over the center panel, they cross each other. I used ribbon to tie the card shut. I printed the digi image twice and colored one with Copics. I only colored the butterfly on the other, cut it out, and popped it up over the butterfly on the first image. When I decide on the sentiment, I'll stamp it on the top of the ivy DSP on the center panel so that you can see it when the card is closed. When the card is open there will be room for a hand written note.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Come join the challenge at PTT. We'd love to see your folded creations.</div>

It's Hambo Stamps <em><a href="http://www.hambostamps.com/miscellaneous.htm">Dentures</a></em> and the sentiment is <em><a href="http://www.hambostamps.com/fracturedfunnies.htm">Getting Old Bites</a>.</em> There are bubbles in the glass and I thought the patterned paper looked like lots of colored bubbles. I made a big bubble from vellum and popped it up with part of the sentiment. Now to decide who to send it to....hehehe!!</div>

Isn't this the cutest image? It's a digi image by Hambo Stamps called <em><a href="http://hambostamps.com/digishop/animals/monkey-vine/">Monkey Vine.</a></em> I colored the image for a Hambo Hoedown challenge to use punches, but didn't have time to make it into a card. I decided to finish it for <a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/">PTT's Anything Goes challenge</a>. I'm just in a monkey kinda mood lately. If you missed my monkey themed altered cigar box, check <a href="http://heyheypaula-heyheypaula.blogspot.com/2013/05/its-hoedown-hop.html">here</a>.</div>

The Monkees are an American-British pop band that released music from 1966-1970. They also had a TV show from 1966-1968. Since then they've had a number of reunion albums and still do tours. Some of their songs are <em>Hey Hey We're The Monkees, I'm a Believer, Daydream Believer, </em>and<em> Last Train to Clarksville</em>.</div>

To alter my cigar box, I used Hambo's <a href="http://www.hambostamps.com/animals.htm"><em>Silly Monkey</em></a>. He's a perfect match for a paper stack that I bought a few years ago called Cheekee Monkee by Paper Studios. Here's a side view...</div>

The image and sentiment are from <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/Perpetual_Bliss_p/ses-11-037.htm">Perpetual Bliss</a> by Paper Smooches. The DSP is from SU's Big Top Birthday collection. I colored the image with my Copics, C00, C1, C3, and C5. I added some black pearls to the camera and a clear pebble sticker on the lens. Some twine and a tag finished my card. <br />

Thanks for stopping by.<br />

I love this Paper Smooches set called <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=needle+little+love">Needle Little Love</a>. It includes lots of stamps that can be used in so many different ways. I love the stamps that look like stitching. It also has some stamps that are perfect for paper piecing like the sewing machine. Did you notice that I wrapped the spool with real thread! I love how it turned out.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So hop on over to <a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/">PTT</a> and join the challenge. It's fun and you might win a prize.</div>

I've vowed to use some of my older stamp sets that haven't seen the light of day in awhile, so I pulled out Wild About You by Stampin'Up to make a card for this week's challenge at <a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/">Party Time Tuesdays</a>. The challenge is to make a shaped card...any shape, just not a square or a rectangle. Here's my card...</div>

I cut the corners of an A2 sized cardbase to make it look like a tent top and added a striped awning. The background was made by repeatedly stamping the sentiment. I added some paper piercing around the elephant and up the elephant's ear. This will be a perfect card for one of my granddaughter's.</div>

I used the <em>English Teacup</em> image from one of our sponsors, <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://robynsfetish.com/shop/images/englishteacuprobynsfetishpreview.jpg&imgrefurl=http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page%3Dproduct_info%26products_id%3D280&h=600&w=600&sz=80&tbnid=VfT91rGCV-pPSM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=93&zoom=1&usg=__hxTl8qRQAvnVeIC9j0qfDtJY6FA=&docid=rvjtRJo71BwMmM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vu5pUe6pOZKx0AG-poC4BA&ved=0CDwQ9QEwBA&dur=42"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Robyn's Fetish</span></a><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Digital Stamps & More</span>, to make a thank you card.

I always have a treat for them when they arrive. When they were little it was easy...a new Barbie or My Little Pony or small toy or stuffed animal. Now they are 10 and it's a little more challenging. They love to go to the Boardwalk and to the Arcades. For <a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Party Time Tuesdays Anything But a Card Challenge</span></a>, I decided to make a tag and treat box that will hold some money and a roll of quarters so they can have a fun time playing games and eating junk food on the Boardwalk!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For my beachy tag and treat box I used <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/104457971/digital-stamp-daisy-flip-flops?ref=shop_home_active&ga_search_query=flip%2Bflops"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">Daisy Flip Flop</span></em></a> image from <a href="http://oakpondcreations.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Oak Pond Creations</span></a> and a clear pillow box and stickers from <a href="http://www.srmpress.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SRM</span></a>, two of this week's challenge sponsors. I tore Kraft paper for the sand, punched and stamped blue cardstock for the water. I glued them onto Confetti Cream cardstock, making it larger than the die. Then I cut through all the layers with the die. I printed the Daisy Flip Flops image on patterned paper and colored on it with Copics. The sentiment and cute pennants are stickers. I inserted some beachy patterned paper inside the clear treat box and added some ribbon and twine. I only made one so I need to make another one with purple flip flops for my other granddaughter. When you have twins in the family you get used to doing everything x 2 but you also get twice the hugs and kisses as thank yous!<br />

My project uses a cute cat image from Kenny K. Isn't she sweet? I love her smile. Using stickers on a card was a first for me. These colorful border stickers from SRM made my card quick & easy. Now I'll add stickers to my crafting. </center>

It's that time again at <a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Party Time Tuesdays</span></a>, ANYTHING GOES. I stamp regularly with a group of wonderful, very talented ladies. About every other month we get together for a Shoebox Swap, a fun day of stamping, eating & laughing. I decided to use this challenge to design a card for a Shoebox Swap that I am participating in. The theme for the SBS is masculine cards, kids, teens, adult males. I made a monster birthday card for a little boy or a big boy!</div>

Lots of wiggle eyes and paper piecing! I used <em><span style="color: #b45f06;">Make a Monster</span></em> by Stampin'Up. I pulled out my <em><span style="color: #b45f06;">Canvas</span></em> background stamp to add some texture. I really should use those background stamps more. The border punch is made by Martha Stewart. I'm not sure of the name of it. I call it the slime punch. This was a fun card to make and will be perfect for the next kid's card I need.</div>

IRL this card has a lot of sparkle! The flowered background paper is glittery. The pink glitter card stock that I used for the image mat and border are from The Robin's Nest along with the pretty pink and blue dew drops. <a href="http://thepapernestdolls.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Paper Nest Dolls</span></a> and <a href="http://robinsnest-scrap.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The Robin's Nest</span></a> are sponsoring this weeks challenge.

I used scalloped ovals and borders and <a href="http://www.hambostamps.com/funnysayings.htm"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><em>Hambo's Fingerprint </em><span style="color: black;">and</span><em> Little Thumb Thing</em></span></a> stamps. The hat stamp is from the Stampin'Up set Snow Buddies. I drew on the facial features and arms and legs. Then I attached the card front to a plastic box so it opened like a book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inside I put a little thumb thing <span style="color: lime;"><strong>green</strong></span> to wear and a little thumb thing <span style="color: lime;"><strong>green</strong></span> to spend!</div>
