The Slop Hop!!

Welcome to the “SLOP HOP” - the Hambo Stamps Blog Hop! The Bacon Bits are here to help you start your month off right with a little April Fools laughter and fun. If you arrived here from Paula’s blog, you are in the right place. If not, you will want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog – TALK TO THE HAM. We don’t want you to miss anything!

Let's start things off with a little joke, shall we?

"Why did the pig buy an oven?
Because he felt like bacon."

Hee hee!! Now on to the card...! Being the horrid procrastinator that I am, I immediately fell in love with the message I used on this card. The outside doesn't appear to be too funny, really...


...but check out the inside! HAHAHAHA! Oh, so true, so true.


That message is one of Hambo's HI-LAR-I-OUS Fractured Funnies, and this particular one is called Sending Early. The sweet little turtle is called Turtle Present.

I also played with some wonderful ribbon from Ribbon Carousel. The background is covered with some fun May Arts woven ribbon. Something a little different.


Now listen up!! A little surprise is hiding on one of the blogs today, so be sure to leave some comment love as you “hoof it” around the hop. One lucky commenter on the mystery hop spot will be in hog heaven and win a $15 gift certificate to Hambo Stamps!

And guess what else!! Because Hambo is so super awesome, I get to give away a digi myself, too!! In keeping with my turtle theme, I am giving away one of Timbo's fabby digis - Turtles. Because I mean really, what's more fun than a big stack of turtles?? Pretty much nothing! Just leave me a comment here by the deadline and I'll draw a random winner!


We love comments anytime, but the deadline for prize entries is Tuesday, April 3 at midnight CST. Check the Hambo blog - Talk to the Ham - on Thursday, April 5 for winner announcements!

Since I started with a pig joke - how about I end with a turtle joke?

"Where do you find a turtle with no arms and no legs?
Right where you left him!"

Next up on the hop is Beverly - I just know she'll have something fabby to share with you!

    Libby you ladies are keeping me in stitches today! I was going to comment on how neat the background paper was when I saw your post about the Ribbon! What an interesting idea and it IS so pretty--pretty good verse for those of us that get too much on our plates right? Please come and join us at http://yourscrapbookplace.blogspot.com/ with our small blog hop also!

    The turtle tower reminds me of Dr. Suess' Yertle the Turtle.

    That woven ribbon is awesome! Looks great on your card. I like it when people use different things on cards.. like you! a fabric (wel, ribbon) background. Great Idea!

    Those words are so true! I always forget to send birthday cards on time.. (shame on me)so that sentiment is perfect.

    Looked at some different cards on your blog to. You have a lot of different styles. And thats a good thing.

    I wish you a lovely day and a lot more inspiration for your cards to come. Keep up the great work :)

    XOXO Kim
