boldly pushing back the frontiers of "last minute"

yes, i have been known to cut it close when it comes to deadlines, but this is pretty impressive even for me: this week's sketchy thursday challenge ends in 30 minutes. so let's get right to it then!

here's the sketch:


what's the first thing you notice? yep--it's a two-pager. when diana posted one of these babies in may she jokingly asked how i would make a *CARD* based on a two-page sketch, and i immediately said, "tri-fold!" unfortunately, i didn't get a chance to make a card for that sketch, but this time i was determined!!!

so here's the left-hand "page":

and here's the right-hand "page":


i didn't have a sketch for the very inside, but having gone this far (& inspired by linda...whose tri-folds are AWESOME!) i went the rest of the way:

and there you have it without a moment to spare, but hopefully worth the wait! :)
