chance to be our Grand Prize Winner for the week!

4 non-colored images.

  

This week's sketch!

Here is a little about Meljen's Designs:

 My name is Melissa Jenkins, and I am a homeschooling mommy and wife to my best friend. We have two children, two cats and three hermit crabs. When I'm not drawing, I love spending lots of time with my family cuddling on the couch, playing games, going for walks, fishing, visiting the park & the zoo, collecting postage stamps, or just plain watching movies.

I've been an artist as long as I can remember - and I am inspired by everything around me. All of my digital stamp designs are inspired by my children (and husband!) and things they do, our cats, things we see on nature walks and daily 'adventures', or memories I have of my childhood. Animals too - I love animals! Art is an uplifting thing for me, and I love designing cute tidbits of art that makes people smile.

I draw all of my little creations by hand. A lot of love goes into my art! Each of my designs is sketched in pencil, inked with a black Micron pen, then scanned in and lightly cleaned up so it will look crisp when you print it.

I LOVE inspiring crafters. I am not very talented at making cards myself, so I LOVE seeing all of the beautiful things that you make with my digital stamps. I couldn't ask for a better blessing!

Thanks for stopping by to see me!

Hugs,

Judi

Sail Boat

Sweet Sketch 109

Sponsor:  Meljen's Designs

For my card this week I am using an image from Meljen's Design!  It is called Sail Boat.  Isn't it just the happiest little boat you have ever seen!    I had so much fun creating with this image.  I used a new nesti that I purchased a few months ago, added an anchor button on top of another button. Then finished the sails off with some little golden pearls.  I also added glossy accents on the water.

Meljen's Designs has been a wonderful support to SSW!  Meljen's is sponsoring us again this week at SSW with a sweet prize of 4 free digis to our Grand Prize Winner!  Wouldn't you love to be the one choosing those 4 free images?  Hop on over to SSW and play along for  a chance to win!  You will also want to look at the inspiring eye candy that our DT has displayed for you!

I loved this little boat so much that I decided to make a second card!  I added a button for the sun and stickles on the water.  I also found this fun seagull button from Arlana's button stash that she shared with me a year ago!

I used papers from the K and Company Super Paper Pad. 

Nancy and Arlana have both used this fun tulip paper

My flower and leaves are made from the Cuttlebug Quilling Chrysanthemum Kit. Again I only used two of the three plates to create the flower.  I inked the edges of the leaves to give some dimension along with giving them a twist.  I added stickles to the "I" in SPRING.  But more is not better!  As you can see the "I" isn't really visable. While it was wet I actually move the glitter away from the "I" but it must have migrated back! I also added the tiny butterfly with some added stickles from the SU Butterfly Emboss Plate.   It was the perfect size. 

Oh I almost forgot, I was looking through my stash of treasures that Arlana gave to me...and I couldn't believe that I had two ladybugs in the two colors that matched this card! 

Have you ever seen a pink or teal ladybug?????

Thanks for stopping by!  I love your sweet comments!  Have a great week and try to stay warm!
