    Great card and I like how you turned the sketch sideways! The ribbon is a great idea...slightly out of the box...I like it!

    I really like how you added the ribbon, Courtney - it looks fabulous! Another great challenge from you talented gals :)

    On a side note, are you enjoying the Guernsey Literary....novel? It's on my To Read list, so I'd love to know if I should move it to the top.
