CAS(E) This Sketch #36 - 11 July

As soon as I saw this sketch, I thought it would make a great template for a mass producible card.  I figured my sister might need a whole batch of Thank Yous to send out after her baby girl is born so I put together these prototypes.  Ive since tweaked the design somewhat and am in the process of making her 30+ cards.

RetroSketches #71 - 6 July

 

I really loved sketch #71!  I often forget about ribbon.  Not so much on cards but definitely on scrapbook layouts so I really enjoyed using it here!  I even embellished the inside of the card!  It was a quick and easy design.
