I recently found a great website that offers a different card sketch each day. Susan at Card Sketch A Day creates a new sketch every day and offers visitors a chance to create a card and post it on her blog. You then need to post it to your blog on the same day it is released.

My sister bought a card magazine (Paper Creations Magazine, Winter 2009) and as I was looking at it I saw a cute Santa card made using punches. I thought it would be so cute on a card so I modified it and created this card for my workshop this week. I used the sketch from Our Creative Corner and modified it a little.
