Scrapbook & Cards Today’s sketches are always inspiring, and this one is no exception. Download the sketch by clicking HERE, use it to create a card or layout, and then submit it to us for possible publication. We encourage you to be creative with this sketch. Flip it, adjust it, or copy the design exactly — it’s simply a blueprint to get your ideas flowing!
