Ric Rac

For some reason, which escapes me at the moment, I don't own a lot of ric rac. That's probably the reason I bought the EK Success Zig Zag Chain punch. Now I can make ric rac any time, any where! Why am I going on and on about ric rac? Embellish Magazine is running a Ric Rac Colour Challenge. The hardest colour for me to put on this card was the turquoise. It's just not a colour I use...ever. This is probably the third time I've used it in the 10 plus years I've been stamping. Thanks to the fabulous DT at Embellish for their inspiration.

ETA - Thanks to my friend Alli Miles, I tried something new on this card - threading paper through the ribbon! Yes, I'm a little behind the times!



This is also for the Splitcoast Stampers Clean and Simple Challenge 76. I'm also playing along with a bunch of the Dare to be Dirty Challenges so check out my Splitcoast Gallery to see what else I've been up to.


Have a great week! I'm loving the sunshine so will be heading out there shortly to do my daily job hunt and maybe read my book. I only have 40 pages left in Wicked. Had a hard time getting into this book so will be happy when I'm finished. Just picked up Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so I think that will be my next read. What are you reading right now?

The 300th blog post is coming up soon... and there's candy... so keep checking back!

Thanks for stopping by,
Glenda
