Sweet Sketch Wednesday

 Bugaboo Stamps and Sweet Sketch Wednesday 160

Hello fellow blogger friends...this is Judi

from the Pacific Northwest where we are finally getting

 a bit of summer and hoping that it will stay!

June has been a bittersweet month for us here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday as we have lost two of our fabulous design team members.  This will be Patti Painter's last week with us here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. We hate to see her leave.   Last week we had to inform you that Genevieve was leaving.  We love these gals so much.  We will miss their wonderful talent but know that they will continue to create and inspire others and hope that they will be back to visit us often and maybe even join us again on the DT.  Thanks so much for all your hard work week after week. 

 Best Wishes, Patti and Genevieve!

You can click on their pictures below

to leave them some sweet LOVE!

The sweet part of this month was that Erika,

 a former DT member returned to SSW! 

For those of you who do not know, Erika is my niece!

She is a wonderful mother of two children and

an incredible school teacher.

 I'm sure you will see her love and dedication

 to teaching in her creations!

 Welcome Back, Erika!

       Patti                                     Genevieve                            Erika

 Now these are only three of our DT but I could go on as every single DT member is wonderful and we love each of them and appreciate all their hard work and dedication to SSW....

just to give you a little inspiration.

In case you do not know...

Now for this week's sponsor we are happy to announce that
Bugaboo is joining our party for the week. 
It's always a party with Bugaboo!

We love Jodie's images so much!  She has sponsored us from the beginning and we have enjoyed watching her shop grow.  I am always amazed at her creative talent.  She now has so many wonderful images...there is no way I can keep up with them.  But for sure, you can always find an image to go with anything or any celebration!  Just go take a look around her shop!  It is never ending!

Here is a little about Jodie and her shop:

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two and a half years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Jodie is so generous...you can always find a
new freebie on her site every single Friday!!!!!!

7 free digis to our lucky Grand Prize Winner.
