Hambo's Time Machine Blog Hop

Welcome to "Hambo's Time Machine" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo friends and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict something cool from the 1980's! It might be our favorite book, something in the news then, a fashion fad, a song, or something that really stuck out to us in looking back. If you arrived here from Jeannie'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 time machine 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 Wednesday, September 25, as well as at the Hambo Hoedown challenge blog. We love comments anytime, but the deadline for prize entry comments is Sunday, September 22 at 5 PM CST. Don't miss it!

Here's my creation...
Remember that song "Hello" from the 80's by Lionel Richie? I always loved that song! When I listen to it now, I realize the guy in the song is..like...a stalker! LOL
Anyway, one of my favorite images from Hambo Stamps is Silly Birds With Hats. For my card I removed their hats and colored them with Copics to look like Mallard Ducks.

The first time I saw the Silly Birds With Hats stamp it made me laugh...and it sill does! I love the way the bird in the middle is peeking out around the others. I have used this image many times for different occasions...birthday, congrats, friendship... My card measures 6x6. I can't tell you where my paper came from. They were some scraps I had tucked away.
 Here's the inside:
 

I need to get back home to see my Mom before winter. I thought this would be a great card to send to her.
I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I have! Thanks for stopping. Stop again sometime!
Now swing on over to Jenn's for another great trip back to the 80's that will jog your memory -- or show you something you missed!
