CAS[E] this Sketch #347 - Retro week!



There's nothing like looking back at cards of the past... we hope you feel that way, too, because it's RETRO WEEK, my friends!!  Chrissy's fun Sketch is from August 2015!!  Did you play??  Be sure to share the before, and after, in your post!!  Here's mine from 2015:



This past weekend, Tom and I visited our friends the Elton's, in Ohio … our guys spent a day photographing nature, and I was blessed with a full day of crafting with my sweet friend Lisa!!  SO how could I not make a 'what would Lisa do' card for this week?  I borrowed her SSS Autumn Blessings set, and she gave me a stack of GRAY card bases to play with, and shared an embossed tag - she does know me so well!  Thanks, Lisa!

Enough talk... here's my new card:


 


Thanks for stopping by … hope you have fun with this Retro Sketch!!  Let's go see what my CTS team has made for Sketch #347, shall we?

  8. I love your throwback card Michele, it is so cool looking. That paper is amazing of the city buildings and I adore the sentiment. Your tag card is so beautiful, I love the tag and the embossing of the tag, but it is the little wreath that is adorable and oh so pretty. Love the little cut out sentiment too. Hugs, Brenda

  13. Both cards are fabulous, Michele! I'm a city girl so I usually tend to be more attracted to buildings than to nature, but I can't resist the embossed tag with the pretty flower wreath. Love the modern-look with the dark gray card base!
