I wanted to try a new challenge. I love following my stamping friend Renee's blog (It's a Patchwork Life). And she's has been entering CAS-ual Friday challenges and doing a fabulous job. I just love CAS and see so many great examples out in blogland so thought I would do my own.
We are to use this sketch:

This card ended up being so easy I almost feel guilty!
The curved sentiment from All Booked Up was an easy choice. I thought this would make a fun masculine card that could be given with the gift of a book or a gift card to a bookstore. I also liked this Graphic 4 plaid paper. And since I had to make a card for hubby's golfing buddy's retirement party, I used it again to make this card.
I have gotten such good use from this Riley stamp! I have made at least a half dozen cards for various people who play golf.
Hope you have a great week and if it's as warm where you are as it is here, try to stay cool!!

Oooh never feel guilty for a card that just comes together - make the most of it LOL! That curved sentiment suits the sketch so well!
Two great guy cards (I'll be keeping them in mind when I struggle to make mine!)

It reminds me of Burberry...
so very fashionable!
I just love it Sharron...
it's perfect!
Really love the first card you have made for the CAS-ual challenge. Perfect way to frame the sentiment! Cute retirement card too! Birds are happy splashing in the baths. Daylilies are still coming up and we may reach 85 today. That is hot enough for me! Keep cool.
Hi Sharron. Love your take on the sketch I can see why you used the book stamp. Just love the sentiment too and how it follows the card. Fabulous card :)

Sharron, this is great! I was tempted to use that same open book and sentiment stamp for my DT card! You really did this sketch justice. So glad you joined us for CAS-ual Fridays this week!
Great work & great take on my sketch!
