Happy Happy Birthday to Monica!!

Tomorrow is Monica's birthday and we're having a surprise blog hop to celebrate! Yay!! Monica is the owner of Hambo Stamps, one of my favorite stamp companies on the planet. She is kind and generous and funny and gave me my very first design team opportunity many moons ago and has put up with me all these years. She's THE BEST and I am so very grateful that she was born! Happy Birthday Monica, this card is 4 Ewe!


I used one of my favorite Hambo stamps, Party Sheep! I also played along with this week's Hambo Hoedown, which happens to be a sketch challenge. So much fun!


As for the hop, you should have arrived here by way of another great, funny, creative friend of mine, Leslie. If you just arrived on my blog by blind luck, make sure and start back to the beginning at Jenn's blog. And to continue on, hop on over to another one of my very favorite peeps, Dina! Be sure and leave comments along the way - there will be a special Hambo Birthday surprise to one lucky, random hopper! The winner will be announced at the Hambo Hoedown on Wednesday, August 17.

Thanks for stopping by!
