Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and The Stamping Boutique

Welcome Wednesday!!  Time for a new Challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  I am excited to say that we have over 50 Followers after our first week - Yay!!  There is some "Candy" to be had once we hit 100 and then 200 Followers, so why not check it out and become a Follower...?

Here is this week's Sketch:

Our Sponsor this week is The Stamping Boutique.  Lots of fun images at their shop!!  The DT were given three images to choose from.
Always fun to see how the DT cards can be so different using the same image...  paper choices, color choices, embellishments...  we all have put our own "stamp" on our cards.

I chose this wonderful image The Birthday Car.  Lots of fun to color this one up =)  One day I hope to have a "Bug" of my own...


Here's my card...

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  I hope you will be able to play along with us this week!!

Blessings to you!!

Tuesday Throwdown - Team B

Happy Tuesday!!  So glad you stopped by.  I have a quick Post to share my card for the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge.  Team B has had a bit of a vacation over Christmas and New Years, but now we are back with a Challenge all about Snowmen...  Snow Much Fun!!  Our Sponsor is Robyn's Fetish and the DT have been given some awesome images to create with...  I chose this cute Snowman holding on to a birdhouse - how cute is he??  

I used some remnants from a retired paper pack from Close to My Heart, colored the image with Copics and highlighted the star and heart with CtMH Liquid Glass.

We had over a foot of snow last Thursday/Friday with temps in the single digits.  Yesterday our temps hit the mid 50's!!  Thought I'd share two pics of the Snowmen my Great Nephew and his Dad made Sunday, and the sad departure just 25 hours later...

Head on over to Tuesday Throwdown and check out the rest of the DT creations, and play along!!

Blessings to you!!

A "New" Adventure begins... SSW 2!!

Hi there friends!!  Happy New Year!!  It's Wednesday and that does mean it's time for a new Sketch Challenge but this week is a bit different.  Last week was the last Challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday...  This week is the first Challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2!!  With Arlana and Judi stepping down, I have been asked to continue the Challenge.  This is a new adventure for me as there is so much that goes on behind the scenes of a Challenge Blog...  I really had no idea!!  But, I am excited to give it a go...

This week's Sponsor is A Day for Daisies.  A Day For Daisies began as a small token to a constant need to create. Pairing a love of whimsical illustration, with a tidy graphic design background, Tammy S Thompson, produced her first stamp designs, introducing irresistibly sweet stamps to crafters around the globe. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful world around us, she strives to express the happiness and gratitude she feels in each stamp design she creates.

Presently, A Day For Daisies has grown to over 3,000 Digital Stamps with a quickly expanding line of Best Loved Clear Polymer. A Day For Daisies has been published and awarded over the years for innovative and unique designs created to inspire the crafting community. With a whole team behind her now, she remains passionate about illustration, obsessed with quality, and dedicated to her customers. A Day For Daisies thanks you for your ideas, comments, and creativity!  

This week's Winner will receive a $12 gift certificate to A Day for Daisies!!

SWEET Sketch Wednesday!!

Merry Christmas!!!  What a wonderful few days this has been...  Great to see family, we gathered at my brother and sister-in-law's house on the Cape Saturday.  Love to get pictures of the next generation, they are all growing up so fast - this group ranges in age from 7 months to 10 years old!!

We were missing the newest member of the family, Jack just 6 weeks old - he arrived with his parents in New England on Christmas Eve!!  I was so excited to finally meet him!!  We had our Christmas Eve gathering at my sister and brother-in-law's house... complete with a visit from Santa!!

Before the gathering, we had a wonderful Christmas Eve service where we celebrated the reason for the season - the birth of  Jesus who came so that we may have life... eternally.

My heart is full and my body is tired, and I am thankful for so many things one of which is that tomorrow my office is closed =)

Lots to do...  Before I go on babbling, let me share this week's Sketch with you from Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Our Sponsor is Jodie over at Bugaboo Digi Stamps!!  LOVE her stuff!!  Be sure to visit and have a look...  always something new to see =)

Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Pattie's Creations

Welcome friends!!  How is your December going??  I just love this time of year!!
I've been having some computer problems, so I'm a little late with my post for this week's Challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday, sorry about that...  This week our Sponsor is Pattie's Creations!!  Pattie Gomez Bio:

"I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them."

My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Pattie has so many wonderful images, be sure to head on over to check them out!!

Here is this week's Sketch...

...and here is my card =)

This image reminds me of my Mom.  She loved to keep her bird feeders filled and watch for the cardinals, her favorite!!  I colored the image in with Copics and added some Stickles.  The papers are a new pad I just got from Kaiser Kraft.  The ribbon, netting and flower are all from my stash.

Thanks so much for visiting.  I hope you visit Sweet Sketch Wednesday and see the rest of the Design Teams cards.  I would love to have you play along with us!!

Blessings to you!!
