Laura's Sketch 2



Recently 2 Sketches 4 You was featured in the Norwegian scrapbooking magazine Ett traykk.
The publication is out and I thought I would share with you all my cards and sketches from the article.

My friend and business partner Kazan were asked each to create three sketches and make cards from them, then swap sketches thus making cards from each others sketches. Brilliant idea Aashild! I will be sharing all the cards and sketches in the weeks to come.

Today I am sharing my sketch 2. Hop over to Kazan's blog: Nunu Toolies to check out the interpretation of my sketch.

Thanks for all your sweet comments!
