I was playing last night with a few of my sketches from the swap I was in. This was a cute sketch I got that I wanted to play with. I saw this layout on several cards and thought it would be good for this sketch. This is definitely a layout I will be using again as it is a great way to highlight patterned paper.

I also did not realize it but I found myself reaching for a lot of my old sets that I had not used in quite a while. I may even recreate some of the cards in different colors just to see…
