**Slop Hop**

Welcome to Hambo Stamp's Slop Hop!  

First off...Happy April Fools Day!  

Here are a few piggy jokes!

WHEN PIGS FLY, THEY..
*Lose their sooeycases
*Go through mudal detectors for sowcureity
*Take a shoat nap on the flight
*Chews an airloin with cheap fares, like Pan Ham
*Hope for swill weather with no turbulinks
*Barrow a sowtcase from Mudder and Fodder
*Eat unsowvory airloin food
*Hold hams with each other during takehoof
*Hope for a strong pigtail wind
*Pork their automosqueal in the overnight lot
*Root and holler when the plane lands safely
These and other pig jokes can be found at http://www.whenpigsfly.bz

So here is my flying birthday pig...Hope you like it!

I used the following:
"Floating Pig"-(from our most recent release)
"Look out" sentiment


You can see in this photo that I have printed my background "Hill" out onto a sheet of acetate.  Under the acetate I reprinted Hill out onto different colors of patterned card-stock.  It gives an almost shadow box effect that is hard to capture...

 In this photo your can see all the different layers of felt clouds, 3D balloon (achieved by stamping the balloon 3 times, coloring it, folding 2 of the 3 in half and gluing together.)  Acetate is fun to work with...and you can get pretty creative with how you "pop" it up and hid the foam squares....LOL!  

Hope you enjoy the Slop Hop!  

Next you are off to the very talented Paula.

  10. Such a clever way to overlay the hill markings-I was just amazed at how that green patterned paper made it look like farmers' fields! and that balloon trick is a neat one-so many elements to look at-wonderful design! Please come and join us at http://yourscrapbookplace.blogspot.com/ with our small blog hop also!

  11. Babe, the piggy that went to market and the 3 pig brothers who beat the wolf who huffed and puffed. ( so that is really 5)

  12. Babe, the little piggy that went to market, and the 3 pigs who built straw, stick and brick houses. So I guess that makes 5 pigs.

  13. Love the dimensional card. I'll have to scraplift it but I won't HOG all the glory. So, my celebrity Pigs are: Wilbur, Babe and the faboo Miss Piggy (love her sense of style and her fortitude in getting the frog to commit). Thanks for sharing a wonderful card.

  19. Wonderful card and I did get a big smile on my face with the last answer, hoot and holler when the plane lands, my daughter should be doing that in about 2.5 hours from now. She is not a happy flyer. Three pigs for me would be Porky, Wilbur and Babe

  20. I love this card. Your detail and coloring is so pretty. Love the dementions. Lets see now....Miss Piggy, Porky Pig, and I love Maxwell (The pig on the insurance commercials with the pinwheels. He did a zip line, a car ride and I am not sure the name of that board he is riding down that hill). I don't think Maxwell is really famous yet since most people don't know his name so if he don't count then...Babe.

  25. lovely card! acetate huh? awesome :D cant really tell it on the photo.. but after reading everything i see that you put a lot of time and hard work in you creation. Always love it when people go the extra mile.
    I really like the colors, your plaid blue sky and the fluffy clouds :D oh and your balloon is gorgeous! how do you come up with something like that.
    By the way, that reminds me of a joke about clouds that my father told me when i was young.. What's a sheep without legs? -- A cute little cloud!
    I think its not a funny joke, but a cute joke :)

    Oh, my top 3 pigs? Well my ALL TIME FAVO is Pumbaa. He's so funny!! Then on no 2 comes Miss Piggy. (i'm a hige fan of Disney and the muppets ;-) )
    and no 3 is Porky Pig. I like the end of the cartoons when he says Thats all Folks, and stutters like crazy :D

    Wishing you a lovely day,
    Hugs Kim
