WHAT'S IN A NAME?

What's the deal with the spelling of ric rac?  Is it ric rac - or rick rack - or ric rack - or rick rac???  I've spent more time tracking down all the spelling possibilities than I did making the card!

 

 

This is another simple card.  I made a slug of them before getting ready to scoot away.  And since ric rac is one of my favorite things, I like this card in spite of its simplicity...

 

 

Here's a look at the inside flap...

 

And here's a look at the pretty papers in this pack...

 

A PERSONAL NOTE

For you, my faithful follower friends, if you've suspected that I'm out and about at an unknown location... You're Right!  I'll have a story to tell next week. <smile>  In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the variety of posts I prepared in advance of my departure!  So whether its ric or rick or rac or rack, it really doesn't matter to me.  I've got bigger fish to fry.  And I'm sure you do too.  Because, after all, whats in a name anyway!

PRACTICALLY PERFECT...

After completing this card, I wanted to rip it up because the little cut paisleys turned out looking like a mustache!  But due to time constraints, (Oh yeah... I'm still on the go), I had to let it stay a mustache!

 
Aside from the mustache, I LOVE the papers and ornate flare.

 

 Feast your eyes on this delicious paper collection...

 

If you're like me, you can never have too much paper...

especially when it's perfect!

PAPERS AND PUNCHES...

Occasionally, I sit down and make a bunch of generic cards that may be used at a later date for any event.  Here's one...

 
Pretty papers and pleasing punches were all I needed...

 

Who wouldn't be inspired with this paper...

 
 

An inside greeting and a handwritten note is all this happy card needs!
