Default WT171 - Rick Rack Revisited

Rick rack? Ric rac? How DO you spell it anyway???? I've seen it spelled many ways! No matter how you choose to spell it, pull it out and find ways to use it! It's been a long time since our original rick rack challenge and I think it's time to have some fun with it again!.

Rick Rack is a great alternative to ribbon. I love ribbon but really...I rarely use it except in small amounts. Pull out that rick rack and find a fresh new look.

Please remember to put WT171 in your keywords section and post a link back here. This is a challenge to get you creating so please....just link new projects. Feel free to create projects besides cards. Layouts, altered items etc are all fun too!

Here's a few samples...



My Rick Rack Hello

Thanks for joining the challenge today! Have a happy stampin day!

Hmmmmm....I've seen rick rack stamps. I've seen rick rack die cut strips by Doodlebug Designs. I know! Do you have pinking scissors...make your own paper rick rack!

Does that help?

Thank you for the help and suggestions. I think that I might make my own. I'm trying to work right now as we are so behind. I can't hear a thing because I do transcription and I have tree guys out front taking down 5 pine trees, and won't be able to run out and get some. I might check upstairs by my totally neglected and dusty sewing machine. Sorry for rambling, but can you tell I'm already stressed out? Not to mention I've got an op note by Dr. Motor Mouth Chewing Gum and Yawning while dictating a brain resection. ARGH. Glad I don't have food in my stomach though right now.

I used wavy scissors to make some paper *ric-rac* for Beate's inspiration challenge yesterday, but I'll try to do something with the real thing this afternoon. It always reminds me of when I first started making my own clothes, I used it a lot. OK, I was only 7 or 8, right!! So that's allowed, LOL.

This tiny silver rick rack was in a grab bag I purchased at an Estate Sale last week. Came in handy for today's challenge!
