Thinking of You Using a Card Map

When I just can't seem to create a card from scratch, I use card maps.  I used this card map by Create with Connie and Mary.  Using card maps can be a challenge, but the rewards (creating your own card) are worth it.  I give myself an F on this my first try.  But wait to you see my second card!
