This is my card for today's ways to use it challenge. We were to put silver on our card.
This is my story!
1. Since today's is New Year's I thought immediately of this silver metalic *holey* ribbon that I have had for 42,000 years. I think it looks like bubbles.
2. Then I spotted some silver curling ribbon that I have had for 42,000 years and remembered that I bought one of those curling ribbon shredder thingys 42,000 years ago! I used it today! Woot!
3. When I originally saw this Bella stamp, my first thought (and this is not the first time I have said this) was that this girl looks like she has to pee! Her legs are crossed and she's holding a drink (which is probably the reason she has to go every 30 minutes)!
4. Well, today I wanted to use my curly ribbon so she's blowing one of those Happy New Year Blow Out Thingys and she's holding a drink and she has to pee! Snort!
5. I made my drink sparkley champagne not a martinee cuz I wanted my card to say sparkle. Thats not an olive, its her gum! She is temporarily storing it on the side of her glass while she blows her little New Years Blow Out Thingy!
I will put a close up picture of how I did the blow out thingy on my glob after I post this! I am not that happy with the way it turned out but got bored trying to figure out something else!

OMG! There you go again, making me spit my drinks at the computer screen, haha! I should know by now not to be drinking anything while reading your stories, lol!!!! You just have a brilliantly creative mind that never seems to stop ticking! I thought I hoarded things, these things look pretty darn good for 42,000 years old, as do you! You wear it well, hehehe!! Awesome card and of course story!! Happy New Year

This is very cool looking. I love the texture of the ribbon in the glass.
I thought of you today while at the Red Robin. They had old teapot barn picture on the wall.

I guess Bella ain't getting any younger just like us .... so that could be why she looks like she needs to pee hehe. Oh and that silver sparkly holey stuff is sequin waste LOL.
Love it Cindy

My side hurts just laughing about the crossed legs. That's funny it's looks like that to me. And usually if your legs are crossed you waited too long
What a great card. And I amazed you haven't gotten "CRS" yet for being that old...tfs
