This is my card for yesterday's Ways to Use it challenge. This is my story.
1. There is a certain challenge chaser that has recently begun to accuse me of stealing her expensive ribbons only because I black-mailed her for free stamping stuff and because Rocky beat up Penelope the Poodle aka Fi-Fi.
2. I have decided it is in my best interest to acquire an ally in her household. It just might come in handy in the future. I fear this feud will continue.
3. She is one who is always stealing her husband's toothbrush to use as a special tool for backgrounds on her amazing cards. I am thinking his teeth are all sorts of colors!
4. This card is for her husband....sort of a bribe for future favors.
5. I am not crazy about this color combination but it would be a waste of time to complain to Oral B.
Edit: Shelly...you keep your grubby little inky paws off this toothbrush!

If he's a Bronco's fan, he'll really love this...maybe you should get busy and sell these as souvenirs for the big game...that way you could feed your stamping habit and quit stealing all those ribbons!
This is really cute, Cindy, what a fun idea to use a tab punch as a border...and dress up a little pay-off gift as well! Thanks for the smile in the mornings, too!!

I think Cindy has a lot more to sell than Bronco toothbrushes - you could be a writer for any number of comedians. I am glad you have a toothbrush for Shelly's DH - I too have been worried about the condition of his teeth. But how do you keep her hands off this one as well?

Cindy, I am really not sure about you and your connections with the husbands. Up until now, mine had no idea why his toothbrush was discolored. If you do decide to send it to him, I am sure he would appreciate it. I had to fess up because I was laughing so hard while reading your story and the comments, and it is rude to laugh and then not share. Up until now, he had no idea what adventures his toothbrush had during the day! Hope he likes the Oral B, I won't be stealing it I promise. (colgate works way better with classic ink)
Oh, the card is fabulous with the cute pocket and all the tab punches and the laced ribbon!
