Sweet Sketch 71

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Sponsor: Sassy Cheryl's

Boo!

For this week I managed to get two cards made. Arlana bought Nancy and I each an image from Sassy Cheryl's so that is why I have two cards this week. We just love Sassy Cheryl's images. They are so fun to work with. I love all her detail. Our DT was given three images to create with. All three images are so fun. I just loved this little ghost. It's he just adorable? Hardly the scarey type but that is to my liking! I'm not fond of spiders either but even he looks rather friendly! Don't you think? To accent the image I used the MS bat punch!

As you can guess...Sassy Cheryl's is our sponsor this week at SSW! Cheryl is offering a fabulous prize of a

$5 gift certificate!

So be sure to play along....you may be the lucky winner!

You will love using Arlana's Sweet Sketch 71 this week! It's one of my very favorite sketches!

Candy Corn Girl

Candy Corn Girl is my second card this week. I had a blast creating this card. I cut out the candy corns from the background paper and glued them to the purple polka dot paper. I also cut out the wrapped candy to add to the top of my bow. Then I topped things off with the green metal dots...just love using those dots.

Happy Fourth of July!
Let it Sparkle!!!

Most of you know that I am visiting Arlana this week! We have been busy working on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday schedule for the rest of the year....In all of our fun looking at sponsor sites...we came upon Sassy Cheryl's images! We absolutely love her images! Arlana and I wanted to create a Fourth of July card so we each purchased an image from Sassy Cheryl's. This image is called Patriots Remembered. This morning I couldn't wait for Arlana...(I was hoping she would create a sketch for us to use but she wasn't available)...so I started to create my own sketch. This is what I came up with. I hope you like it!

I have a lot of fun memories of the Fourth of July...From celebrations at the Bountiful city park to Battery Park on the Columbia River to picnics in our own back yard!

Most of all I am thankful for the freedoms that we have in this country....for our forefathers who believed in a God and founded this nation on that principle. I am proud to be an American and put my trust in God! I am grateful for those who have fought for the freedoms of this country and have lost their lives to preserve it! I pray that the rest of us may live well to preserve it also.
