Just under the wire

Good morning! Today is the last day to play along and enter the Kitchen Sink monthly contest. The challenge this month was: Use school supplies or items to make a card or project. You can alter an item too! Extra apple points for a school themed card. Well here is my try at it. The green card stock is Stampin Up Old Olive, the other card stock is assorted Bazzil. The ribbon is random from my scraps and the boarder punch is from EK Success. The School items I used are a red paper clip and a scrap of a post it note from a pad. The lines are already pre printed on the post it note and it reminded me of way back in the day when you went to school and practiced our writing on our Big Chief tablets with all the lined paper. The samples that the teachers would give out would always start with the dotted line letters to give you an idea of what they are supposed to look like. So I hand wrote Happy Birthday in the lines just like the old days! The ind I used for distressing is Wild Wasabi. And the tie to Kitchen Sink is the Hey Chick stamp that I stamped in Wild Wasabi as a background on the orange panel. I hope you all enjoy it and I hope I win some more Kitchen Sink stamps so I will have some more to play with!!!! Thank you ladies for sponsoring such wonderful contests.
