Hi everyone..I came home from work early today because we finally got our first snow storm of the year. It is suppose to dump alot of snow but I think Arlana will get much more than we will down here. The cards from our fabulous DT are wonderful this week...with all those darling images from Bugaboo. Jodi, thank you so much for your continued support. Thanks to Sharon for the fabulous post this week. And, congrats to all the winner!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Nancy
Hello...we woke up to a blanket of snow this morning too in the Tacoma/Seattle area. It always melts quickly here...but on my way to the airport I came upon a blizzard that stopped the traffic and covered the roads in five minutes. That's unusal for that Northwest. I also woke up to computer problems but finally have access this evening...wow are we tied to computers!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cards this week are so fun. I love the array of fun Bugaboo cards! Yes Jodie, we love your fabulous images. Thanks for letting us create with them. Congrats to our winners this week. Linda, your post was awesome...you are a pro...first time around! I loved this sketch too, Arlana! Happy New Year to everyone! Be safe!
Great DT inspiration - Bugaboo rocks! Thx for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteanother fantastic sketch to use...have a wonderful New Year everyone

Morning ladies what a great sketch to work with I have really enjoyed this one thanks x supet Dt cards Wishing you all a super new year huggies linda H xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Winners! And what an awesome job the DT did with there cards. I especially luv the turtle and lady bug!
ReplyDeleteI am new here and just love them all! Amazing DT! Deb P
ReplyDeleteWow you girls always have such beautiful sample to share. I love playing along with your sketches, this one was fun.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above comments that SSW is the best sketch challnege blog that I regularly do. I really like having a sketch to follow and the DT cards are always very inspiring. I had never seen Bugaloo images before this blog, but each time I see the DT use them I admire how cute they are- just my thing as I am a bit of a cute image addict!
ReplyDeleteKathie- two fab cards and such different takes on the same image- one Christmas and the other birthday. I know of a lot of Mum's friends would have loved a card like your second for their 50th birthdays.
Linda- this made me laugh- love the sentiment and all the stitching and detail you have added.
Jeanie- ace colour scheme- you always think of pink for young girls, but it adds to the humour of the image of the old lady on your card.
Judi- great card for a boy (young or old). I like the rustic feel of the card and the punched forest border.
Jacki- another humourous image. I think had I used that for my fathers 60th card he would have killed me though! Do you know who you are going to give the card to yet?
Sharon- such a sweet valentines day card. You are very organised to be making it already.
Nancy- fab winter card. Is it for a brithday or Christmas. I was thinking that the image is so versatile that you could use it for either.
Deanne- another cute image and fab colour scheme- I must try that pink and yellow. So cheerful- just what we need in this weather.
Arlana- great Christmas card. Looks like you ahve made a start on next years pile like me. You can never start too early!
Happy New Year!
Great sketch! This is my first time playing along, but I plan on coming back for more in 2011! :)
ReplyDeleteHello ladies, gorgeous DT cards again this week. Love the sketch Arlana! Wishing you all a very happy new year...I'm looking forward to lots of new sketches in 2011! Thank you for all stopping by my blog each week, I appreciate all your lovely comments. Wedgie xxx
