It’s been a busy week, but I did get time to make a card today.  Well, finished today.  I actually started this one a few days ago, but ended up reworking the layout a couple times.  I finally came up with this for the March Sketch For You To Try layout.  I ended up substituting an oval for the rectangular focal panel on the sketch. This card is going to be donated to Operation Write Home.  I think it turned out to be suitable for one of our heroes to send home to either a girlfriend, wife, mother or grandmother.

Here’s the sketch:

And, I’m still waiting for someone to make comment #1500 on my blog so they can win the goodies I showed in my March 27 post!  It’s getting really really close now!  Here’s the prize again – with a few extra smaller goodies not shown:
