CAS Sympathy

I've been so busy lately I'm WAAAAAY behind on reading my blog updates. I try to keep my 'to read' list current, but it's almost at 1000 now! EEKS! I can't bear to click the 'mark all read' button as I admire and respect each blogger's work and dedication. Another busy weekend is scheduled for me but I will try to get a bit of time in blog land. I've got a quick and easy card to share now. I like how switching up the fold a bit and adding the 'band' element gives a new twist to a standard clean and simple card.

I didn't add the string element, but kept with the basic feel for the other elements.
