ICS DT Call Submission

inspirational card sketches is having a dt call right now. i just recently discovered this site, and the sketches are fab!! i would so loooove to be a part of the dt, because i so love need deadlines and i know that this would get me making more cards and visiting everyone's lovely blogs. here is my submission: i got my sewing machine out for this one - the first time in many months and it felt gooood!! although it still has a rather annoying habit of missing stitches, but i went back and fixed them by hand.

the things in the corners are actually pushpins and i had to get out the pliers to bend them (very carefully). the yellow thing is a huge paper clip, stolen borrowed from bf's stuff. don't tell him because it might have sentimental value because i'm pretty sure it's from his elementary school days. or high school, at least.

and! i made the card while suffering from a nasty bowling injury, obtained on the weekend. however, it is much better as it no longer looks like i have a grape on the end of my finger, and has deflated somewhat.

and! there is a reason why i made a "back to school" card... more details on that to come!!

thanks for dropping by, and good luck to everyone trying out!!
