Channel Surfing...with Hambo Stamps!

Welcome to the "Channel Surfing" Blog Hop sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo customers and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict TV show titles! It might be our favorite show, or just one that was fun to design. If you arrived here from Carolina's blog  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 TV-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 the blogs along the way. The winners will be announced on the Hoedown blog, as well as on the Hambo company blog,
Talk to the Ham, on Wednesday, May 23.
Now, on to my card...everytime I see the Hammock Pig image, I think of Gilligan's Island...being on a warm, sunny deserted island, snoozing away in a hammock...ahhhh, that's the life!  :)  


Gilligan's Island is a show that achieved cult status through syndication. Panned by critics as silly and stupid, it only lasted three years as original episodes..and I must admit that watching Gilligan's Island is a guilty pleasure of mine!!  Yes, it's silly and even possibly "stupid". but it's just so much fun!

Now dance on over to Beverly's blog for another great TV show!  Just in case you get lost along the way, here is the entire blog hop list:


Stamps:  Hammock Pig
Papers:  Olve Olive, Daffodil Delight (Stampin' Up), Neenah 80# white, patterned paper (Basic Grey)
Accessories:  Copic Markers, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, Square Lattice Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up), paper flowers, glue dots, gold stick-on rhinestones, Mandarin Baker's Twine, pop dots, small oval and scalloped oval punches (Stampin' Up)

  3. I loved watching Gilligan's Island reruns when I came home from school. My favorite episode ever was the one with the witch doctor who had the voodoo dolls of all the characters! LOL Your card is so fun (and I'm sure the pig's drink came from the bar the professor constructed!)

  11. I feel restful whenever I see that image! Maybe someday I will be able to actually re-enact that situation! Love the card...I used to watch Gilligan's Island when I was growing up. I always loved the professor...it is amazing what one can do with a few coconuts and some sand.....
