Oh it is hard to say goodbye! We have LOVED working with the girls on the Bacon Bits team this term, and we will miss their artistic contributions here! But this term is over and goodbyes must be said.

THANK YOU

Carolina + Dawn + Deborah + Jan + Kecia + Kris

for being a part of the Hambo team these last four months.  

We have loved every minute!

Leave them some love today on their blogs too! Click on their links in the sidebar.

Our new Bacon Bits will be revealed at the Hoedown next week to start October off right!

Our challenge for this week comes as many fields around here are filled with combines ready to harvest! See what our awesome Design Team has made:

See a pattern? It's a sketch this week!

Sketch + Harvest Bunny = This week's challenge!

This image is not free, unless you played last week. BUY IT HERE!

Everyone that followed last week's challenge, linked a card to the blog post and used the official digi name, and emailed us a photo of their card on time (hambodesignteam@gmail.com) received this week's image FREE! All FOUR things must be completed to receive the next freebie! So check your mailboxes! Images are sent by Wednesday mornings at 7 AM.

Of course, since this is a HAMBO HOEDOWN challenge, you can use other Hambo images with the challenge too! BUT -- You gotta use the above sketch! It is fine to flip the sketch, change panel sizes, shapes, card size and border -- a little tweaking is fine -- but let’s see those main elements of the posted layout please.

And now for our two winners! We give two awards each week, and you can read all about them in the sidebar. 

Our first award is Best in Show. And our Best in Show this week goes to............11. Jeannie!  

The beautiful layers and punched chevron border caught our eye! The trophy is yours, Jeannie!
