I Need A Hero!

Welcome to the Hoedown!

Make sure you read this whole post, as we have a special surprise somewhere in it! As we said last week, everyone that linked a card to the blog post and emailed us a photo of their card would receive this week's challenge image FREE!  So check your mailboxes! If you didn't get your card linked in time or forgot to email us (the deadline is always 10 PM CST Tuesday night before the new challenge), you can still play along.  Use ANY Hambo image on your project - just make sure you follow the theme! Link up, email us, and you will be back in the loop for the next free image! Read more about how the challenge works here.

This week's challenge is brought to you by BIRD HERO. 

This image is not available free, unless you played in last week's challenge and received it via email. Buy it here!

For this week's challenge we will be using a SKETCH! 

It is fine to flip the sketch, change panel sizes, shapes, card size and border as you wish --  a little tweaking is fine but let’s see those main elements of the posted layout please! And here it is:

Today's challenge is brought to you by EYE MONSTER. Isn't he the cutest? With two sentiments to choose from, he is the perfect Valentine - or the perfect "anytime" card to let someone know you care!

For this week's challenge, use Eye Monster, plus one sentiment AND a heart somewhere on your project! Yep, Eye Monster has a heart, but we would like to see you add at least one more! Check out what our "Bacon Bits" (AKA Design Team) came up with to inspire you:
