Sweet Sketch Wednesday #139-Elizabeth Bell



Hi there Sweet Sketch Wednesday followers. This is Heide posting this week for.....

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY


I'm posting from West Bloomfield, Michigan and I am the newbie DT member. I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying my time with this wonderful team. Before I was invited to be part of the DT I played along with the SSW challenges when ever I could and looked forward to every single Wednesday to see what a wonderful sketch Arlana would have ready for us to use. I got a place in the Top Three one week, then a bit further down the line I actually won a challenge. I was totally thrilled and flattered I can tell you. It certainly boosted my confidence and then to top it all off I was invited to be on the DT! I am still walking on clouds because I am part of this wonderful team.
Here is a little about me, I am a mom of two great kids and one silly fur baby named Guinness. 
I am a crazy soccer mom and also a band mom. On the weekends if I am not down in my craft room I an off to a soccer pitch or at a marching band competition. We get a little crazy around here with our schedules and I could not do it with out my better half, Ken. 
 Guinness looking cute.

Be sure to pop over to the Design Team blogs - they'd love to hear your sweet comments on their creations this week.


Now, remember these new rules for the challenge:


1.      Create a card using the sketch of the week. Remember to follow it without changing the orientation or flipping it.   A flower can be any embellishment or a sentiment. Small dots can be brads, jewels, pearls, flowers or other embellishments. Remember to follow the main layout and shape of the sketch. For example: If the sketch is an oval, it needs to be an oval. A vertical rectangle needs to be a vertical rectangle. However, if the layer behind a circle is a zigzag, it can be a scallop, another circle or whatever you want it to be.


2.     Use an image from this week’s sponsor (Elizabeth Bell).  Feel free to use one of their freebies, if available.  We appreciate our sponsor’s generosity in offering you a prize for your creativity!


3.     Post this week’s sketch along with your card on your blog with a link back to Sweet Sketch Wednesday.


4.     If posting to an online gallery, please use Sweet Sketch Wednesday #139

  13. I havent been able to craft for what feels like forever, and I was looking to my favorite sketch blog, SSW to get me started again... But, with the addition of the rule stating that we must use a sponsor image in order to play along! Sadly,I must look elsewhere for inspiration. I simply do not do digis, I am both unable to and I just love the real deal when it comes to stamps.
    Regrettably,

  14. Christi, we are always happy to have you play along even if you do not use the sponsors image. Sounds like you are not interested in the Grand Prize anyway! We always love to see your inspiration!
