paper possibilities: bellariffic barcodes...

It's a happy BellaRIFFIC friday today!

...because I don't have to be anywhere except for my favorite place, which is home, and I have a ~new~ Suzi Blu book arriving on my doorstep friday!

All is well in my banking crisis and HOW can not having a debit card a major blip in my mind? I have taken well given advice and it will only be used sparingly. I will be prepared when dining out and carry cash. :)  I took cash to Canada & Scrapfest, I did not call the credit card company to let them know I was out of the country, in case I needed to use the card. {ok, this was mainly to avoid impulse buying! lol} Can you believe I took 150.00 and I had to get 5.00 from Linda to get back across the bridge. I could have stayed hostage at Lindabella's house, LOL, we laughed about that one. Jim may have come to get me just so I was home to take care of my animals.

It was rainy on Sunday and I really didn't want to leave Linda's and drive home. She was playing with her embossing powders and dreaming of making a new sheet of samples...yeah, she has little cards on a chain and each little card has a name and sample of one of her powders. Linda has LOTS, she said Pauline had more...omg, I have 4! So Linda pulls out her 'Em's Funky Barcode' set, a set I was looking forward to getting my hands on. Linda starts playing and I finally take off for home. It takes me a while {nap} to get back into the crafting groove sunday night, and I end up playing with this 'happy birthday' barcode...
I know, it's not colored, can you believe it. Sometimes I need to play around with solid images and see if I can make a card I love. I see lots of them, I just struggle to make one myself. hehe, this set comes with 4 images and sentiments...there are more barcodes a comin'!

...card recipe:

Finished size is 5" x 6 1/2", kraft cs, Memory Box pp, Echo Park 'Times & Seasons' pp, Bazzill cs, 'Em's FUNKY BARCODE' set from Stamping Bella, Ranger Archival ink, Sakura clear glaze pen, twine, button and sewing.

We have so many ~new~ faces in our BellaRIFFIC friday lineup on Emily's blog...if you wanna join us all you gotta do is send da Bella a picture by thursday night.    :)
