It's time for the biggest blog hop on the internet! Operation Write Home holds this blog hop every year and it is always full of great inspiration. OWH is a wonderful organization that sends cards to our soldiers for them to use in corresponding with their loved ones.

The challenge for the hop is to make a card using one of OWH's sketches. I used sketch #81 flipped upside down. Here's my card...

I used an image from Hambo Stamps Hop Art Designs called Trena with Heart . Proceeds from sales of the images in this collection  benefit Operation Write Home by helping with postage and supplies. The paper piercing design is from Fred She Said. My card also fits this week's Hambo Hoedown challenge to use paper piercing.

Have fun visiting the blogs this weekend. I'm sure you'll be amazed. Enjoy the holiday and remember to thank our Veterans and their families for their service past and present.

Hambo's Newest Bacon Bit!

Oink! Oink! There's a new Bacon Bit playing in the Pig Pen. Hambo Stamps has a new illustrator...Asela Hopkins. You may be familiar with Asela's images. She has created stamps for both Gina K and Cornish Heritage Farms. Asela will be working with Hambo Stamps to create her own line of digi stamps, Hop Art Designs, with the profits to benefit Operation Write Home.

For Asela's debut, each of the Bacon Bits created a card to spotlight one of her images. The image I used is called Clare and Danny. Here's my card...

I just love this image. It comes with two sentiments - You're so sweet and Here's a little something just for you. It's so adorable and could be used for so many ocassions.

Want to see Asela's other new digi stamps? Hop over to Hambo Stamps digi shop and check New Arrivals. Then stop by the Hoedown for links to the fabulous creations by all of the Bacon Bits. Then join in the fun.

I also entered my card into Simon Says Stamps, Anything Goes Challenge.
