“Do you have a favorite layout?  I have a handful of of go-to layouts that I find myself turning to over and over.  I thought it would be fun for this week’s challenge to focus on your favorite layout!  This week especially will be a great resource for those of us looking for some new card sketches!  The layout I chose is one that I tend to use when I am creating a more CAS, graphic, or mass produced cards.  I can’t wait to see all of your favorite layouts!”
