Broadway Bound! by Hambo Stamps

Welcome to "Broadway Bound!" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo customers and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict Broadway show titles! It might be our favorite, or just one that was fun to design. If you arrived here from Melissa's Blog, then you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog to make sure you are eligible for the hopper prize!

A prize will be awarded to one participant whose Broadway-themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way!  Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all of the blogs along the way. The winners will be announced on the Hambo company blog, Talk to the Ham, on Tuesday, September 25. We love comments anytime, but the deadline for prize entry comments is Sunday, September 23 at 5 PM CST. Don't miss it!

OK, enough of the details...  Now on to my card!  I chose the musical JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT.  I love Joseph!!  My sons are all familiar with the songs, because they heard me playing them when they were young.  So two years ago, I took them all to the broadway production, and we all enjoyed it so much!!

The "coat of many colors" was obviously my inspiration for my card.  And my son Jeff will be happy to see that I left out the color BROWN !! haha  He always emphasizes the word BROWN in the line from Joseph's Coat that says "It was red and yellow and green and BROWN and blue".  Put's a smile on my face just thinking about it!  :)

My card:

I used the super cute MOUSE PAINTER Digi Stamp from Hambo Stamps.

Hambo Challenge

Hello Everyone!  


I am sharing a card today that I made for the Hambo Hoedown Challenge.  It is a sketch challenge this week:

Here is my card:

I used the digi stamp called "Monster Weights" from Hambo Stamps.   I printed the image in two sizes.  I wanted to exaggerate the size of the dumbbells, so I printed it about twice as big as normal.  If you look closely, you can see the normal size dumbbell shows...  I colored it to make it look like a spot!!  


Supplies: 
Cardstock: More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive (SU), White, Vanilla (PTI); Copic markers, Star punch (SU); Paper piercer (SU); circle die
