Prussian Blue Waves..

COFFEE & SNOW...

We are having our first real snow of the season and so I had a wonderful time making a card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge over on SplitCoast Stampers.  Once the featured stamper has been revealed, the challenge it to CASE a card from her gallery.  Today's FS is beccabatgirl aka Becky Carafa.  You can see her gallery HERE.  I chose to case THIS card.  I changed many of the elements, but kept the same general layout. I used my Coffee Girl digital stamp by Hambo. The thing I love the most is that I can size her to fit the layout.

Check back this Wednesday for this week's Hoedown.  You won't want to miss it.
Thanks for looking.

Hoedown Time!

It's Hoedown Time!  If you are new to our challenge, click here to see how this all works. Play along each week with a Hambo Stamps image (rubber or digital) and you are in the loop for some awesome FREE images! Don't have any Hambo images yet?

Grab your chocolates and get ready for a yummy challenge this week. Doesn't this image make you salivate?  It is called Candy Heart and is a new digital image by Hambo Stamps.  I must admit that I had my favorite candy, Reese Peanut Butter Cups, while making this card. I really needed them for inspiration.

So, ink up your Hambo image (or print it out) and be sure to add brads, buttons, or bows to your project. Then add a photo of your project to Mr. Linky on the Hoedown blog.  We'd love for you to participate!
