Sweet Sketch Wednesday Anniversary Blog Hop
Well time sure does fly fast! It's so hard to believe it's been one year since I created Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It has been such a fun journey and I hope you have enjoyed the journey with us. We have grown alot since we first started this journey. We now have 241 followers and hope to continue growing. I have had some very dedicated design team members, past and present, we have loved all their work and continued dedication.
There is alot of talent out there among all you ladies and we have enjoyed seeing your creations. We hope that you will keep spreading the news about our Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog and keep coming back.
In the beginning I never dreamed that we would be doing digi cards. In fact I must admit I loved stamps so much that I grumbled. Not really liking digis at all. But I knew the only way I could keep this running and offer prizes was to do digis. Then we started finding fun sponsors and really sweet digis. Now I am hooked and rarely have time to pick up my stamps except for the sentiment. Digis tend to be be a cheaper way to go also. So I want to thank all my wonderful sponsors for their continued support. They have such talent in creating their adorable digis.
Before we begin Our Blog Hop, I want to announce the winner of last weeks challenge with The "Digi Doodle Shop". The winner is: #28 Wishcraft
Lisa, be sure to email Arlana at sweetberrydesigns@hotmail.com . Arlana will direct you as to how to receive your winnings. Congratulations!!!!!
I also want to thank our Lisa for her dedication of being on the SSW design team for almost a year now. She has asked to be released and we will miss her very much. Best Wishes in all your endeavors!

Wow, I just finished the blog hop! What an amazing line up of cards! We have the best DT ever! Congratulations, Arlana, on your One Year Anniversary! It's incredible what you have accomplished this past year! I can't believe all the hours you have put into this for all of us to enjoy. Thanks for everyone's sweet comments concerning my help...but it has been minimal compared to what Arlana does everyday! This is "her love" and "her baby" and it all comes naturally to her. At times, I can't believe Arlana got me into this...I didn't think I could even make a card....Before this blog: "I always copied Arlana's card and if it didn't look like hers I was very frustrated." Nancy has always had that natural artistic talent too. Thanks Arlana, for believing in me! It's been a fun year for Nancy and I and I'm sure the rest of the design team, players and followers feel the same. Thanks for creating such a fun place to come! Thanks to all of our sponsors this past year...we couldn't have done it without you! Happy Anniversary! And if your just beginning to hop....Have fun and come back to visit us often!
