Saturday's Sketch Share Doubled!

Hello!  Today I have both last week's share and this week's share for you!  What is interesting is one is a vertical card and one is a horizontal card.  It is if I planned it, but you know I didn't, as you know I am late only because of my crazy class last week!  So, let's do it.  I am going to show you my card, Debbie's card and the sketch and then repeat the process!  And then I'll give my two cents about all of them!  Enjoy!

The Sketch

I had received Debbie's squirrel card before I made my squirrel card, but I didn't remember she had done a squirrel, so that was not planned.  I think it is humorous though, especially since the squirrels around my house have been having a hay day way up high in the trees dropping acorns.  When the acorns hit our metal carport it sounds like the sky is falling!  As far as the sketch goes on that one, I think it is a pretty good one and you can see that anything can be substituted for the stars on the sketch.  Speaking of the stars, when I saw the stars on the sketch on Monday, I thought of the fact that I was going on Monday night to help the Blue Star Mothers pack boxes to send to the troops and usually Donna and I make cards to add to the boxes.  Donna is still with her mom at the hospital, so I thought I needed to figure out how to turn this card into a dual purpose.  I couldn't make the sketch with the stars work, the squirrel idea was better for that one.  But, I did on the second card.  It is half Christmas and half patriotic!  It worked.  This sketch both Debbie and I liked.  And of course, it being an horizontal one is good, as there are not as many of those sketch layouts.  Do you like the cards, the sketches?  What is your take?

Happy Stamping!
