Soda Pop Pigs

 

This week's Hambo Hoedown Challenge was to use any Hambo digi or rubber stamp and create a project that uses felt. I used Hambo's Soda Shop Pigs and Happy Hamiversary  and felt hearts to make my card...

 

 

I love special fold cards . Last year my friend Jane sent me an easel card that was a little different than what I had seen before. I call it a side easel card. To make it, you score and fold the front from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. Then attach the front panel to the lower part of the front. I cut felt scalloped hearts with my Nestibilities. The larger heart is popped up to hold up the front.

I love Hambo's challenges. I'm glad I had a chance to play this week. Come back on Friday and see what I made for Hambo's Blog Hop "Name That 'Toon".

Sing Your Art Out!

Welcome to "Sing Your Art Out" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo friends, customers, and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict song titles! It might be our favorite song, or just one that was fun to design. If you arrived here from Dawn M's blog,  you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog to make sure you are eligible for the hopper prize!
 A prize will be awarded to one participant whose song-themed creation  tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a singin' swingin' way!  Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all the blogs along the hop. The winners will  be announced on the Hoedown blog, as well as on the Hambo company blog, Talk to the Ham, on  Wednesday, September 21.

My creation uses Sweetheart Pig. I think he's proposing! I wonder who he wants to marry? Check out the name of my blog for a hint...

Hey Paula

By Paul & Paula

Hey, hey Paula, I wanna marry you
Hey, hey Paula, no one else will ever do
I've waited so long for school to be through
Paula, I can't wait no more for you
My love, my love

It's an oldie but a goodie. It was a hit in 1962 and yes, I remember it! Did you know that Paul & Paula's real names were Ray and Jill. Soon after the song sold millions, they got married, but not to each other!

That was so much fun that I couldn't do just one! So here's another. The sheep on my card are ewes (girl sheep) and we know what girls want to have...

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

by Cyndi Lauper

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

I used one of my favorite Hambo stamps, Party Sheep with Get This Party Started sentiment. I made the FUN paper on the computer. These girls are ready to have some FUN!

Warm up those vocal chords and be prepared to sing! Now hop on over to Mary's blog for another great sing-along song!

Another Bombshell!

Loving my Bombshell set. Here's a card I made for Bombshell Stamps monthly challenge to be WILD! The challenge is to use some ANIMAL PRINT along with the lovely Bombshell girls. When I saw this pink leopard print DSP I knew it was perfect for a Bombshell Beauty. So here's my take on the challenge...

What a fun challenge! I have an anniversary coming up in August...42 years! I think this will be one of my hubby's cards.

Funny Anniversary

Bugaboo Digital Stamps has some very funny images and right now they are having a 50% off sale. Here's a card  I made for my brother and sister-in-law for their anniversary next week. I just love Gus and Stella.

and here's the inside...



I hope they'll get a chuckle from it.
