Sketch 70

Today is a special today here on Card Patterns. We're wishing our current design team a fond farewell as the end of their term is officially over today.

We hope you'll stop by each of their blogs and thank them for all the inspiration they've shared with you over the past six months! These are some of the kindest and most talented women I have ever had the pleasure of working with and they will be missed greatly here on the blog and behind the scenes.

The Guest Designer:
We're lucky to be joined by the amazingly talented Cheryl Gorka this week.

Here's a little more about Cheryl:

"I live in Wisconsin with my husband of almost 12 years and my 8-year old daughter along with 2 dogs and a parrot. I have a full-time job working with numbers and spreadsheets all day so I love it when I have a chance to relax and craft. Although I enjoy scrap booking and altering items, making cards remains my favorite. I like the fact that you can complete a project relatively quickly and then easily share it or give it away. I only started blogging last October and love the crafting community I have found there."

And here is Cheryl's amazing card using this week's sketch:
