Birthday Flower

 

A co-worker recently had a birthday and this was the card I made for her.  I used a digital stamp from a new company I ran across recently.  The Wax Fruit Company has some nice images and I especially loved this gerber daisy one.  It is part of a trio of stamps.  I used the small one and then put them together to form a full flower.  I had a blast coloring this one.    I used two of my new Copic colors and LOVE the result!  The paper is from a new collection by My Mind's Eye and the ribbons were from my stash. 

Copic Colors Used:

Flower Petals: RV000, RV63, RV66

Center: YG21, YG23; Y35

Background: BF0000

Nursery Rhyme Fun

 

Welcome to the last Hambo Hoedown for May!  This week I got to play with the cool new Moonscape Background Digi stamp from Hambo Stamps!  Our challenge is to use this background and also use texture somewhere on the card. 

I decided to do a fun card featuring the moonscape and their adorable farm cow digi.  I kept thinking that MY cow didn't quite make it OVER the moon...So, instead he had a little accident and kinda crashed into one of the craters on the moon!

For the texture aspect, I used a piece of handmade paper that has splotches of silver paint on it.  I thought it looked a lot like space and the splotches looked like stars, so I went with it!

I have seen some of the other cards made for the challenge this week by the Bacon Bits and you will LOVE THEM!  What a cool group of ladies.  GO BITS!

This is the last week of my tenure as a design team member for the AWESOME Hambo Stamps, but the new Bacon Bits are going to WOW you with their skills starting next month!  I can't wait until the official announcement hits the pig pen!

I have had a blast and will definitely be lurking and participating in future challenges as time allows! HAMBO STAMPS ROCK!!!!!

It's a Hambo Blog Hop!!! Grab Your Popcorn!

 

Welcome to "Hamming It Up At the Movies" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo customers and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict movie titles! It might be our favorite movie, or just one that was fun to design. If you arrived here from Yolanda'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 movie-themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way!  Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all the blogs along the way. The winners will be announced on the Hoedown blog, as well as on the Hambo company blog, Talk to the Ham, on Wednesday, May 25.

As you might have guessed by my creation...I was inspired by the movie E.T. the Extraterrestrial.  Now I am a pretty big sci-fi nut, so this was a no-brainer for me.  I love the little boy on the phone (Bad Connection Digi) and it came to me in a flash.  I thought I was pretty darn creative if I must say so myself!

Now dance on over to Dawn's Blog for another great movie scene!  In case you need a road map, below are all the blog links in order...Consider it your bloggin GPS!  Shout out to all of the Bacon Bits and all the Guest Bacon Bits...can I call them Crumbles???

Hay...

Can you believe it is May already??? It is Hambo Hoedown time again! This week is all about respecting the chicken! Your challenge is to use this whimsical chicken as well as dots and stripes! My chicken was lonely, so I decided to add two more and have a party! They are here to say "HAY"! I kept this one super simple so the chickens were the focus. the paper is from the Abbey Road Collection by My Mind's Eye. I just love their papers...

I was having problems cutting out his tootsies...I almost amputated him several times! If you didn't play along last week, you can get this cutie from Hambo Stamps to play along this week!

Wait until you see the fun cards the Bacon Bits have to share this week! Such a fun group of ladies! They are having a design team call, so if you would like to join them, check out the Hambo Blog for details! They are a great bunch of folks to work with, so you should gussy up a few cards and send 'em in!
