Feeling sketchy...

I am a scrapbooker.  That statement is easy to make, and I wear the label very comfortably.

Sometimes I make cards.  But cardmaker is NOT a label I would use to describe myself.  I look at that little canvas and get a mental block. Every. Time.  It takes me three times longer to make a card than it does to make a layout! What's wrong with me?  I've tried thinking of a card as a mini-layout.  I've tried doing the scrap-lift (card-lift?) thing.  I have lots of cool cards pinned to my Pinterest board.  I love other people's cards.

I am a scrapbooker who is not comfortable making cards.

Which is why I *love* the card sketches at Feeling Sketchy.  Sketch #106 is so simple, so versatile, and so friendly to non-cardmakers.  Here's my attempt:

I used up some offcuts from my "brown scraps" ziplock bag collection.  I suspect that I acquired that little piece of brown cardstock at a crop day {back when I saw a Cuttlebug for the first time, and learnt how to use it, circa 2007 or 2008?}

I didn't add a sentiment, so I can use it for a birthday, or a thank you, or congratulations, or any occasion really.  I may end up turning it landscape, depending on what sentiment I add.

Materials:
Bazzill cardstock
Coredinations cardstock
Three Bugs in a Rug Coco - Rings patterned paper
Provocraft Cuttlebug - Jamara 5x7 embossing folder
