Birthday Turtle
Sweet Sketch 99
Sponsor:  Bugaboo Stamps


Our sweet Jodie who owns Bugaboo Stamps is our lovely sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.    She is constantly creating new images...her imagination just doesn't end!  So you will want to check out her site here and be sure to click on each image as there are more images behind each image!

If you are our lucky winner this week at SSW you will have the sweet surprise of winning
 7 Bugaboo digis valued at $21. 
It wouldn't be hard for you to find seven that you like.
The hard part will be diwindling your list down to seven.

This Turtle Birthday was a freebie awhile back.  But you can still purchase it.  Of course, I used Arlana's fabulous sketch this week and added stickles to my balloons and party hat.  The added balloons are the MS balloon punch.  I then added glossy accents to the turles brown spots, the edge of his shell and toenails.
Hope you like it?  It will probably go to my grandson for one of his birthday cards...

Oh, how I love Sally Ann's Cute Oriental Characters.  This image is called Kishi. It reminded me of my granddaughter and thought I would make her birthday card with this image.  I'm a few months early but that is ok.  It will be waiting for her when the time comes. 
This card almost took me back to Okinawa.

Flowers, Birds and Turtle
Sweet Sketch 97
Well, I'm back to reality! I had a great time visiting Arlana and creating my cards through April.

Can hardly wait for you to see what I created for you!

Today I have three adorable images from 
Clear Dollar Stamps

Basket of Flowers
On this card I used a new embossing folder from Quickutz that I purchased at the Scrapbook USA Expo called Flowers!  Wish you could see the sparkle in the center of the flowers on this image but my camera didn't capture it .  I think you can see the sparkle on the dragonfly, fronds and flower center. Not sure how I managed to cut the dragonfly out but it worked for me this time.   This image is a freebie at Clear Dollar Stamps.  Isn't is cute as can be? Just love that basket of flowers and the little dragonfly!


Turtle Greetings
I loved this Turtles Greeting image and thought it would make a fabulous birthday card for my grandson when he turns three....in another year.  I'm planning ahead!  As you can see I used Glossy Accents on his shell! I also used stickles on the flames and the turtle's party hat.  Then I just put together the little badge and used a marker to add the three.
Oh, the Nesti Pinking Circles is also a new purchase from the Expo.  I've been wanting that one for some time now.  I used it to make the badge too!


Love Tweet Love
 I'm always in need of wedding cards and thought this would be a perfect addition to my collection.  The embossing folder is another purchased from the Expo.  It is from Quickutz and called Swirls.  I added stickles to all the hearts and circles and on their head and tail feathers and added a little blue jewel in the center of the his flower!  Again my camera doesn't show the sparkle like I wanted it to but hopefully you can imagine!




Clear Dollar Stamps is our sponsor at SSW this week! 
You will definitely want to play along as
 Lori's fabulous prize is a $25 gift certificate!

For You
Sweet Sketch 96

I thought I would be back home today but I will be spending another week with Arlana as we have lots of work to accomplish some of which is related to SSW! 
Today I am so excited to show off this sweet image from
I have always loved Heather's sweet images.  
This image is called Pure Innocence 20.  
 I have used one of my favorite embossing folders from SU...Square Lattice. 
I also love this MS Daisy Border punch and have it in the larger scrapbooking punch!  For the finishing touches I added stickles to her little jacket, shoes and the centers of all the flowers! Now I just want you to know that she reminds me of my grand daughters with their sparkly shoes and outfits! 
I'm not sure if you can see all the sparkle.  But the paper also has a sparkle to it.
Digi Stamp Characters is our sponsor at SSW this week.  Heather is offering
3 Free Digis from her etsy shop
to our Grand Prize Winner at SSW!
