A site for my handmade cards, accompanied by my photos and written meanderings which are occasionally witty, often tongue-in-cheek, and rarely profound. Beginning in June 2013, you'll also see lots of NBUS, which is an acronym I coined for Never-Before-Used-Schtuff. Note: my Privacy Policy can be found at a tab below and you can find my NBUS Challenge online. I hope you'll join in the fun there! Thanks for coming by! Have a beverage and enjoy!

CFC70 ~ A Zebra Bag

Good Morning!

The challenge this week at CASual Fridays is to use black and white and one color of our choice.


The generous sponsor is the fun Neat and Tangled Stamps.

It sounded like a fab handbag card was in order, so I made this:


Sadly, the photo doesn't do justice to the brightness and sparkle of the cord and the gem.  It's a classic little card I return to often because it's fun to make, it makes me happy to look at it, and it's fun to give away.
 
Everything makes me a little bit happy right now because I'm still having my mussels relaxed by artificial means.  Today I'm going to take half the doseage and see how I do.  Luckily for me and my crafting addiction, the most comfortable position is in a chair, at least for bits of time.  I know it is best if I move around now and then and when I do that, I do it with Ginger Lee. 
 
I have renewed empathy for my friends with chronic pain from backs or fronts, arthritis, or children.  Sorry.  It's the drugs.  Let's pretend we were playing that game where you pick what item does not belong in a sentence.  Of course, children is the answer.  Of course.
 
Enjoy making today a delightful day!   As always, thank you for stopping by to visit.   Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
