Broadway Bound ~ Hambo Stamps Blog Hop!

Today I'm hopping with Hambo Stamps designers and customers, and the theme is Broadway Bound! Woohoo!! If you didn't come here by way of Jan's blog, how about heading over to the Hambo blog, Talk to the Ham, to join us for all of the Broadway + Hambo goodness?? I love the theater, and I love love love musicals!! We were supposed to depict a show with our card. Can you guess which one I chose?


Crazy plants? A psychotic dentist? Blood dripping? Yes my friends, that's right - Little Shop of Horrors!!! I love this show, it's hilarious. And kinda sick. But mostly just hilarious! To create my little scene, I edited the Mad Scientist digi in Photoshop to get rid of the brain in his hand and make him into a "dentist". With his arm up like that I thought he looked a bit like he's dancing around, unaware that the flowers behind him will soon be having him for dinner! And that's why the Smiling Flowers - 0136 are smiling - dinner has arrived! HA! I turned Hambo's Icicles - 3101 into dripping blood (mwuhahaha!) and thought the Beast Wishes - 3816 was somewhat appropriate for this beastly flower musical.

This show appeared on Broadway in 2003, but where I first fell in love with it was the movie version from 1986. Steve Martin played the sadistic dentist. Too funny!


More about the hop - did I mention - 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 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 5pm CST. Don't miss it!

Now let's continue hopping and see what other Broadway shows have been depicted in Hambo stamps! Next stop is Jen - I'll see you over there!

  7. Sherry thanks for the sweet comment! But I do want to point out, only the "dentist" is a digi, the other stamps I used were good ol' Hambo rubber! :-)

  19. Libby, I haven't seen the show/film but now that I know the story behind it I love how creative you've been with your card! What a funny scene you have created and using the icicles for dripping blood is a brilliant idea! I can't say I enjoy my trips to the dentist but after seeing Steve Martin, I suppose my one isn't that bad after all!
