Smooth Sailing

Just about anything nautical will soothe my soul.  I suppose that is half of why I love my morning walk as I view the Puget Sound on my walk around Chambers Bay Golf Course.   This time of year you are almost certain to see a few sail boats enjoying the beautiful PNW summer days. I enjoyed creating this card for you and hope you will play along with us this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  Try one of Doodle Pantry's images.  They are so vibrant, quick and easy to use.  This image is called "Smooth Sailing."  It comes with this sentiment and some added papers,  I chose to use my own as a have a room full of paper and need to use it up.  I enjoyed creating the porthole for your viewing!  Hope this cards soothes your soul!  Have a great day!

The prize from our sponsor this week will be a

$10 gift coupon for non-EU residents,

Happy Brrrrrthday!

Today I am using this darling Winter Birthday image from Doodle Pantry.  It is such an adorable birthday set with several images, outlined or colored, along with several sentiments and some fun matching papers to use with the images.  Since I had seen this image used with the printable papers, I decided to head to my own stash.  I immediately fell in love with this corrugated paper and then found the perfect dot paper to use behind it.  I hope you like it!

My sister, Arlana, made an adorable shaker card this week for SSW2 and convinced me that I needed to make one also.  Then Arlana also convinced our other sister, Nancy, to make one. This is the first time in a little over a year since we closed the original SSW that we, three sisters, have created together. This is my first try at making a shaker card and I have to say it was quite fun to put together. Thanks, Arlana, for the inspiration!  It's great to see your creations again and to create as sisters!

I was going to make this one into a shaker card but decided that I liked it best as it is!  I added Crystal Effects to the gum ball machine and also the gum and then decided to add the rain drops on the corner of the chevron paper.

Doodle Pantry and 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Just want you to know that I am not wishing Christmas to be here any too soon.  It seems like this has been the fastest year ever for me.  I would gladly return to January and begin again if I could.

But nevertheless, I created these two Christmas cards with Doodle Pantry's Mini Bethlehem pre-colored image.  And as you can see I managed to create two cards to add to my Christmas cards for this year.   Loved this little Bethlehem scene! The sketch was super quick and easy.  Sentiments came from a jar of 30 Holiday Rubber Stamps by Inkadinkado.  First time use, I think!....It's always amazes me what I can find in my craft room! 

I hope you will take the time to play along at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this week.  The prize to our winner will be a $10 coupon at Doodle Pantry!

"Hello, my name is Laurie.   I'm just a regular Joe crafter.  While trying to find digital images that met my own crafting needs, I decided to draw some of my own, as I had so many unique (weird!) ideas that I just couldn't locate elsewhere.   I sincerely hope something I've done inspires you to go create something to bring a smile to someone else and hope you enjoy creating to your hearts content with some of my doodles.." ~Laurie

Hope you have a very creative week!

Hugs,

Sweet Sketch 143

Sponsor:  Doodle Pantry

I just have to tell you that I had so much fun using this image from Doodle Pantry!  It is my first precolored image that I have used.  I have to say that this card was actually whipped together in just minutes! 

This image is called "Noah's Ark." 

It comes with a precolored image without the rainbow and

 a precolored image with a rainbow.

It also comes uncolored.

Plus it comes with three word sentiments: 

"All Creatures great and small know the Lord is Lord of all." 

"God's promises are forever." 

 "Two by Two."

This entire package is just $4!  What a bargain!

We are so thrilled to have Doodle Pantry as our sponsor at

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Please take some time and browse their shop. 

 Their images are amazing!  And if you haven't used digis before this is the perfect time to choose one that is already precolored and then you can also have fun coloring it up any way you would like.

A little note from our sponsor!
