For my card today, I liked the sketch from Craft Project Central – Creating Pretty Cards.  I’ve been following these sketches for some time but have never participated in them.  So today, I decided to do that!

Not only do they supply you with a mini tutorial on the sketch, along with measurements, but wait there’s more!  By playing along with this challenge, you get a chance to win a free month’s subscription of your choice to all their wonderful projects. 

Mind you, my card is nothing like I had in my head.  In fact it was going to be a Birthday Card, but I had all the papers, etc out on the desk & then just went along with the sketch.
