Sweet Sketch Wednesday #118 with StampFairy

Welcome to Sweet Sketch Wednesday! This is Sharon from the design team posting this week from Michigan, the Great Lakes State. If you're a new visitor here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday, we extend to you a warm welcome and our open arms of online friendship. If you are a returning friend, we greet you with a hearty smile and hugs - pull up a chair and spend some time with us!

Before we get to the new sketch, we have some wonderful news to share with you today.  We are just tickled pink to announce that Michelle Lancaster has joined the Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team and I know you'll find her creations inspiring.  Here's a little bit of background on Michelle:

My name is Michelle Lancaster and I now live in Buxton, Derbyshire, England but I am originally from Liverpool, Merseyside. I have lived in Buxton for just over a year. I started making cards about 3.5 years ago and I am totally hooked. My favourite method is stamping and I am longing to learn different colouring techniques, especially colouring using distress inks. I do love other crafts such as cross stitching and beading amongst others.  I have a cute 5 year old son called Brandon and a gorgeous, elderly cat call Suki (my shadow). We all live with my partner of 19 years Col. Oh yes, mustn't forget them.... we also have two gerbils but their names are still undecided.

A warm Wednesday welcome to you Michelle! We're thrilled to have you on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday team!

Now, let’s announce the Grand Prize winner and Top Three for last week's sketch challenge #117. Drumroll please.....

Just one more thing before we introduce the sketch for this week....Kathie from our Design Team noticed that we now have 501 followers.  Thank you everyone.  We really appreciate your loyalty to Sweet Sketch Wednesday. We love our followers and receive soo much inspiration from each one of you. And most important, We couldn't do this without you!!!

Now on to the terrific sketch this week and a fun sponsor too. Take a look....

Here's that super sketch, created by our own Arlana Patten - it's a great one to show off papers and embellishments. This is Sketch 118-49 which means it’s a repeat of one of the favorite sketches in the past from Week 49.  I can see why this sketch is a favorite!

And our wonderful sponsor this week is StampFairy! The Grand Prize Winner of the challenge will receive four digital stamps from the StampFairy Shop!  Now that’s a fantastic prize!

Now hang onto your hats - it's time to see the creations of the design team using the fun digi stamps from StampFairy. Prepare to be inspired....
