Everything But The Kitchen Sink - Toothpick Challenge

I must've made the kharma gods very angry because I can't recall being this busy at school at this time of the year EVER!!! I've been so exhausted when I get home. In fact, I started this card yesterday and finished it (just...and I mean just...in time) tonight!


My pal Kelley (please visit her blog here and give her loads of love) hosted the latest Everything But The Kitchen Sink Challenge and prompted us to make something using toothpicks. All the gals on the team came up with some fabulous ideas!! It took me awhile with this one, but I finally came up with a simple idea for a card that I can definitely use.



I'm not sure if you can see the scored section very well with my photo....if not, there's a section of scored lines underneath the 'green' - I thought I needed something to break up the 'white' space, but I didn't want it to be that busy. I love how it turned out!

My mom's birthday is on Friday, and I've been planning her card for a few years now....stay tuned :)




Details:
Stamps - none
Ink - none
Paper - kraft, green (Bazzill), DCWV
Accessories - toothpick, black felt tip pen, Thickers, number sticker, corner rounder
