For You

Sweet Sketch 96

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Sponsor:  Digi Stamp Characters

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

Digi Stamp Characters. 

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!

Sweet Sketch 64

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Sponsor: Digi Stamp Characters

This week I am not able to go for my daily hike around the golf course as we are having the 110th US Amateur Championship at Chambers Bay Golf Course. I will really miss my daily hike but will spend more time walking the streets and going to the gym. Here is a link to photos of our course. Wait a few seconds and it will give you a quick slide show of the course. The Course is right on the Puget Sound. The hardest park of the hike is up through the fir trees on the far right side of the course. After more than three years, I keep thinking it will get easier but it doesn't. It is just a good workout for this body! Now can you see why I savor my morning hike! It is a 3 1/2 mile trail around the course.

Well, that is probably more than you wanted to know! But I mostly wanted you to see how beautiful the Puget Sound is.

Today I have three cards to showcase. I never have time to make three cards but I had some relaxing time at Arlana's last month. I love this sketch. My favorite part is the border. I could have cut out borders all day long!

Ink: Copics and Promarkers

Tools and Embellishments: Nestabilities Large Classic Square, MS Border Punch, Flowers, Pearls

My Mistake but I had to finish it!

This card is a slight deviation from the Sweet Sketch 63. I acutally made the square for the image too small as the ribbon was suppose to lay across the bottom of the square. I was still happy with the results. The flowers are from Michael's Dollar Bin. It includes the flowers and the little jewels...packaged in Red, Yellow and Pink! Arlana found these and she was going to split them for us. So I ran to my Michaels to make sure Nancy, Arlana and I had all three packages. Nancy, now you know! You have three packages waiting for you at Arlana's.

Instead of putting jewels on the flowers in the wheelbarrow, I dotted the centers of the red flowers with Stickles.
