Sewing Basket and Spool of Thread Card

This project was created for Craft Us Crazy Challenge.  The challenge actually started Thursday, January 3rd.  I was unable to post my project till now due to an unfortunate accident I had on Christmas Eve.  I fell on some ice at my parent’s house and had severe back pain due to it.  Thank goodness it is finally starting to feel much better that I was able to climb stairs to my craft room to take pictures.  Now onto the challenge that ends Wednesday, January 16th.  The challenge is an “Inspiration Photo and/or Something New”.  There is also a brand new sponsor, Ginger Blossom Designs.
