Bugaboo Sketch #177.

Hi Everyone, It is Heide here from Michigan posting for this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesdays. For those of you new to Sweet Sketch Wednesdays, Welcome and we are happy to have you with us. For our returning followers welcome back we are always happy to see you!

This silly little guy is my Guinness. Every time he decides he wants to chew his bone he will either give it to you to hold or go onto this ottoman and chew his bone...this is such a goofy dog. This morning he fell asleep like this and on some days he will even put his hind legs on the ottoman and then drop his bone and then he barks for you to pick it up. He has us trained well! 

Lets get to the fun part of our Sketch challenge...

The sponsor for this week is Bugaboo Stamps and the Grand Prize winner will receive 7 digital stamps that value $21.00!!

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 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.

Here is our sketch for this week.



Here is what our DT made with the sketch and the fun images from Bugaboo.

                                      Heide

                         Joanna




                                         Arlana


Arlana has had some bad news come her way this week.  Her doctor has banned her from the computer, crafting and any activity where she would be using her hands.  He believes that she has carpal tunnel.  Now you have to know that Arlana spends her entire day crafting, sewing and using the internet so this will definitely be a trial for her.  Now you will know why she is not able to visit your blogs and leave you sweet messages!  Hang in there, Arlana, and get better soon!!!!!








                                    Jeannie

We have some very sad news to share with you today.  Jeannie, our long time DT member and new Coordinator will be stepping down.  Jeannie has been such a wonderful help to Judi in scheduling the sponsors for 2013. This will be her last week as she will be moving on to new and better things!  We wish her the best and want her to know how much we have appreciated her dedication to SSW and all of her fabulous inspiration that she has shared with us!  Be sure to stop by her blog to say "Goodbye."  We love you, Jeannie!  We hope you will stop by often to visit!  Hugs from Judi and the rest of the SSW Gang!

  7. Oh no, poor Arlana!! That sounds like the most horrible punishment possible for a crafting web addict. I hope she recovers and gets off "computer rest" soon!

    Guinness certainly is a handsome fellow and, yes, it sounds like he has you trained well! ;-)

    Fun sketch. I hope to play along this week. (Although I say that every week!)
