CAS[E] this Sketch # 401 Retro week!

Welcome back - hope you are well stuffed from Thanksgiving - it wasn't a hardship to eat every. last. piece. of our pie!  

Retro week is so much fun - don't you think so, too?  Especially when the Sketch is from my very first year as a member of this fabulous CTS family!  It is such a honor.

Are you ready to search for your entry?  It's from October of 2015!!  I'll show you mine:


I've REALLY stretched that Sketch today... after all, it is Christmas time!  Santa has given me permission to s t r e t c h my card, too...


One of our cats used to climb up into our Christmas tree for a nap...
he never was naughty, but it was such a surprise to find him there the first time!
Meowy Christmas from [where else?] Colorado Crafts:  Christmas Tree Cat


I do love a few brown paper packages under my tree!  Hope you'll help us wrap up another Retro Sketch #401!

  5. Hey! That's a slimline card! Love it. That image is so darn cute, too. You can find cats in the darndest places, can't you? You've colored this card up wonderfully and I like your current version of this sketch quite a lot! Thank you for sharing and in your unique way encouraging us to think about our cards a bit differently. Hugs!

  6. We had a cat that would steal the decorations off the tree, but fortunately she didn't try to climb it! Your card is adorable, my friend! This image is so perfect for a tall card and I love the tag!

  8. Wonderful card, love how you have stretched it and kept the colour scheme quite muted. That tree looks like it was put up way too early as presents haven't been opened yet but it has lost most of it's needles xx

  11. What a fun and cute Meowy Christmas card, Michele! After he reaches the top of the tree, he will scratch off the word, naughty, from the tag.;-D Love your "stretched" (literally and figuratively) card!
