Ocean Quest
Sweet Sketch Wednesday
Sweet Sketch 49
Sponsor: Pixie Dust Studio


I was so excited when I saw this image on Pixie Dust Studio. It made me want to just ride along for the adventure! I was in the middle of creating my card when I viewed Carrie's card on SSW on the week of April 14 for Sweet Sketch 45. I loved how she tied the rope to her button. So when I realized that there was a rope in this image I decided to create a break away look with the rope. I was going to use twine but the color wasn't the right shade so I pulled out my scrapper's floss and started hand crocheting it and came up with this. Thanks Carrie for your inspiration!

This is Sweet Sketch 49 for this week!

Pixie Dust Studio is our sponsor this week at SSW. You may want to look around on their blogspot. You will love every image!

The prize this week from Pixie Dust Studio is two free digis of your choice. So you might as well play along and have a chance to win....just think...it could be you!!!

I wanted to make a birthday card for my granddaughter who will be turning 5 in June. When I came across this image, I thought it would make a perfect card! I wanted it to be bright and cheery. I was looking for a birthday paper but I am a softy for dots. I found the polka dot paper at JoAnn's then found the flower print in my stash. Arlana and I found the Pink and Purple flowers at the Scrapbook USA Expo along with the glittery brads. I added the yellow flowers from my stash. I also used Crystal Effects on the cherries. Arlana, thanks for the fun sketch!

Sweet Sketch 43Sponsor: Inktegrity

I just love it when I create a card that comes together so easily! I have to say that it usually doesn't work that way for me. But this one just fell into place! This image is from Inktegrity and when I saw it I just loved that little bunny! When I found this trim in my stash...I thought that it would maybe give the appearance of a row of carrots. Well, if it doesn't to you...then at least it gives a little texture! Hope you enjoy it! It was fun to create!

Inktegrity is our sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. So be sure to hop over and see of the sweet images that Joni has designed for you.

Happy Birthday Mama Nurse
Sweet Sketch Wednesday
Sweet Sketch 41
Sponsor: Digi Stamp Boutique




Happy St. Patrick's Day! Thought I had better add a little green to my blog today!
This was such a fun card to create. It is a birthday card for my daughter who is a nurse and is expecting her first child. I tired to make the nurse's apron look like it was poochy by shading it darker but I didn't do a very good job so you probably wouldn't even notice. But it is the thought that counts! My daughter is an ER nurse and loves every minute of her job. I can ask her a simple question about anything medical and she can spout off for a good two hours about every little detail. Sometimes I have no clue what she is even saying ... but I am happy that she is well versed in her field!
I thought this image, Nurse Suzie, from Digi Stamp Boutique would make a perfect birthday card for my daughter. Digi Stamp Boutique is our sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Sally Ann is so talented with her images. You will love every one. So take some time to check out her shop. And play along with us this week at SSW. Go ahead and get some inspiration from our DT. If you are the winner of the week, you will received $10 of digi images from the Digi Stamp Boutique. How fun is that!
Also we hope you are gearing up for our first Bunny Hop Blog Hop at SSW. It will be this weekend March 19, 20, 21. So be sure to come back on Friday to get all the details and to participate in the Bunny Hop....lots of prizes and also one Grand Prize will be offered. Digi Stamp Boutique will also be our sponsor for the Bunny Hop.

Well, it's been a rather busy two weeks. But I am finally back home. Thought I had better take a few minutes to post this. It will be really short. I had a lot of fun making this card. It actually looks better than it does on the computer. But I think that is the way with all the cards.

I really liked this image when I saw it on KLM Digi Stamps. I enjoyed using my copics and practicing more of my shading.

Our sponsor, of course, is KLM Digi Stamps. Take some time to look at their images and also check out our DT Line Up to see our creations with KLM Digi Stamps.
