Christmas Cards - Using Card Sketches

Hello, 

I have begun occasionally using card sketches to help me find a starting point when creating cards.

I first came across this idea from someone I found on YouTube called Kristie Marcotte who uploads 6x6" Paper Pad tutorials using card sketches.

I like using the sketches as I feel it starts of my thinking process and then I can change measurement and adapt the sketch to my needs.
