Here's . Mmmmm...listen. Isn't spaghetti so much finer with lovely music? This is for my friend Nichole, who if given the choice, would eat spaghetti & meatballs everyday. The Twisted Sister's challenge of the week was given by Terri (Brat Cards) to use something not purchased for card making. Stumped, I used my DH's suggestion- spaghetti. (Thanks Bubba!) Yum! While cuttle-bugging my paper, I looked up and saw this card from my buddy Jill- and you know, this lil fat chef just needed something special like this! (thanks Jill- I love my card!) Shameless case, I know....
The background paper is also something you would not purchase to make cards with- it is a place mat from Da Mudder's "Eggs R Good" restaurant, and I have been hoarding it for a few years.
Hope you will join the Twisted Ones, and show us what you can use on a card. Nuts, bolts, cat food- bring it!
Thanks for looking!

Ok, Sis, what could be better than the Chef with spaghetti. Your card is just super. That was a great idea. I, so , remember that back ground paper. Brings back a lot of great memories of our first meeting and also da Mudder. And Tracim.
What fun.

That is too awesome for words! Period. End of story. Well, except to say I love spaghetti. On my plate, in my tummy, and apparently on cards too! Very clever and creative!

What a YUMMY card Pat! I'm sure "Everybody's Talking" about how creative you are to add real spaghetti noodles on a card! Why can't I come up with these great ideas?

I can practically HEAR that chef singing "O Sole Mio" (my Dad used to come out singing that line every once in a while - made me smile just remembering that!!) Of course,, he is the Head Chef in this great little Italian restaurant that specializes in - get this - SPAGHETTI and MEATBALLS!!!! Love Bubba's ideer about using spaghetti and that placemat from so many years ago in CO makes the greatest BG paper!! Such a creative wonder - you never cease to amaze me!!! LYMI!
