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!

Me too, of course the greedy girl I am, I love any packages under the tree. Tell you what I really love...this image and the way you made the sketch work for it. Perfect Christmas slimline.

This is so darn cute! I had to chuckle. Our neighbors recently got two Siamese kittens and have been showing their Christmas tree antics on FB!!

Stretch away my friend, I adore this sweet image and it's been in and out of my cart just a few times already.... maybe 'in' should be next lol.

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!

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!

Oh what fun your stretched take on the sketch is. I love this card so sweet and fun.

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

Such an adorable card, and even the "nice" kitty! Beautifully colored and a cute image

You are so clever, Michele! I love your muted color palette and the kitty is adorable! Such a cute little wooden tag, too :)

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!
