OWH Sketch #75

When I first saw this sketch, I wasn't so sure I could come up with something because my scraps are pretty scrappy.....lol.   Then I realized I already had lots of ruffles pre-cut for making some red, white and blue ruffle cards, so I made a little adjustment and turned some ruffles into Sketch 75.  I really enjoy the Sunday morning sketch, it helps me think outside of the box.   ~Nancy F.


I'm sure everyone who has been reading our blog regularly (all two of you...) is aware of my niece joining the Navy.  Well, she's going to become a real sailor soon and her gift from her parents is a brand, spanking new laptop.  And I was honored to make her a card to go with it. 
I think she'll be happy with the card, but a million times happier with the laptop!    ~Nancy F.

    Nancy, I love this card. The ruffles worked perfect for this sketch. The background paper and the stars are also just perfect. Great card. I love the laptop card also and I am sure your niece will too. Fabulous idea.
