Default What Program For Card Sketch?

I love to use sketches for my cards and would like to design some of my own. I am wondering what computer program is best to do this with? Any suggestions?

I use Microsoft Publisher to create my sketches. It's pretty user friendly. I tried using Photoshop and was just spending too much time trying to figure out how to create the shapes. Publisher is much easier. Hope this helps!!

Nothing besides Publisher girls? Currently....like yesterday, I sent a rough sketch to a friend to do up for me in Corel....since I don't have anything for sketch impaired people here.

I use Photoshop Elements 7.0 for my sketch site. Super easy and fast and not as itimidating as PS. Hope that helps.

Both Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw work really well for card sketches. If you don't have either of those, you can use a program like Photoshop. I explained the steps and uploaded a sample in this thread: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
