TCB ~



Just what is TCB? I had no idea what TCB stood for when I got this stamp in the mail from Richard and Liz from CHF. Fortunately for us, Carole aka TruCarMa, has a blog posting that explains it perfectly. Her post is also where I got the inspiration for the color scheme of this gift bag and tag; from the picture she posted of Elvis' TV room.

TCB stamp is stamped all over the yellow Scrapblocks™ patterned paper for the bag; Adirondack Lemonade ink has been stamped off once before stamping to the paper. The tag has Aged Sheet Music stamped onto it in Lemonade ink before stamping TCB in Onyx Black. As this is pretty straightforward in its stamping, the rest of the supplies are listed below:

p.s. Before I got this stamp and the Elvis TCB was explained to me, Taking Care of Business was the song by BTO that I blasted on my record player when I was in my teens. Here's the first stanza, remember?

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty

That's hilarious Val. My boyfriend bought me that record for Christmas one year. I loved it. Randy Bachman does a radio show here in Canadia on Saturday nights on CBC Radio 1. Bachman Turner Overdrive was a big part of my teenage years. yeah baby!
