Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #172 our sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique

GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY

This is Kathie hosting today for Sweet Sketch Wednesday. 
Today I thought I would share with you a little of my simple pleasures of life, you should know me by now that I live in New Zealand and when you're having summer in the Northern Hemisphere I'm having winter and visa verse.  Which means spring has begun baby lambs are being born and beautiful spring flowers are out in abundance.
Here are some photo's I took on Saturday of a freshly cut vase of spring Tulips which I just adore, it was due to rain and very windy so I didn't want them to get damaged in the garden.

 Isn't that colour wonderful???!!!
Nature is so cleaver with that wonderful center
and Black and Orange stay-mins. 

  

Our Grand Prize Winner has won the choice of  3 digital images from Pattie's Creations  and the winner is:

Now for our sponsor this week. 

It's Sally-Ann Hancock

from

DigiStamp Boutique



A little bit about Sally-Ann Hancock the owner and designer for DigiStamp Boutique.

All images/designs are created and copyright owned by Sally-Ann Hancock. My work means the world to me - it allows my passion to draw and create, to fit with my family life too - often the inspiration for my designs. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy creating.
This week our lucky winner will be able to choose
6 Digi Images
From DigiStamp Boutique

The team at Sweet Sketch Wednesday really appreciate Sally-Ann's  generosity being our monthly sponsor since Sweet Sketch Wednesday started and for giving our winner each month 6 Digi Images to choose from her website.   
Every month Sally-Ann has a wonderful selection of new images to work with and there's images there that would suit everyone's taste.  Also if you've never used a digi before she always has a new freebie image each month for you to download and have a play with.
If you haven't visited DigiStamp Boutique before or it's been a while here's where to look for her images.




Our Sketch
You will love working with this sketch.  It's really a fun and easy sketch to put together, very quick and looks amazing once finished.
Thanks, Arlana

    I have completed a card for this challenge but having trouble linking up. The "Try Here" button is underneath the "20 comments" and won't allow me to click it. I usually have to use the "Try Here" button to link up. My card is here:
    http://craftysuze.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/sweet-pocket-of-flowers.html
    I will try re-freshing the page again and see if that eventually helps but just in case I've placed a comment here.

    Ignore my previous comment - I re-freshed the page and then madly clicked in the general vicinity of the Try Here button and after a while it worked. I'll have to remember that for next time that happens.

    A belated thank you for choosing my card as one of your top 3! I'm so sorry that this is a late thank you, I've had some internet problems. The Internet is amazing when it works, but when it doesn't - eh - not so much!!

    Thank you!

    love Mags B xx
