Hello friends!! This is Sally from Massachusetts. It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Sketch Challenge here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!! It's my turn to be your Hostess. I love Fall in New England - my favorite time of year. I was up in New Hampshire this past weekend visiting a friend and we went for a lovely ride. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very cooperative and the sun never did come out, but we had a great time in spite of the weather. I wanted to share a little of the beauty we experience here in New England with you... The leaves have started to change, but the colors weren't quite as vibrant as they would have been on a sunny Fall day...
And now... on to our Challenge...
I am so excited to say that this week our Sponsor is Krista Smith - Saturated Canary. I love her images!!
"My
name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary
Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was
hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie.
They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the
digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!).
And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create
anything that pops into my head:)!
I am so humbled by the artistic talent of
the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am
so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty
community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my
challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the
fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated
Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything
from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say
'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)"
I encourage you to check out her images at her Saturated Canary Online Shop her images are so much fun to color!! This week's winner will receive 2 free Digis from Krista!!

Congrats to the winners. Love those fall pictures in New England with the leaves turning colors. Great sketch and wonderful work by the DT. Krista Smith is one of my favorite artists so it is wonderful to see her images displayed.
ReplyDeleteSally, thank so much for a wonderful post and the gorgeous fall colors of New England! I would love to enjoy that part of the world some day in the fall. I have been to NY and CT in July. But all the while I was wishing I could stay for the fall colors to bloom! Gals, what a lovely job on all of your cards this week! Just love those Saturated Canary images! Thanks, Krista for your sponsorship. Congrats to our winners again this week! It's always so fun to see what our followers will create for the week! I am here in Utah with Arlana for the week.

I love Saturated Canary images and have been using them quite a lot (especially her free think pink image recently). I actually used a Wee Stamp today for a change but it would be amazing to get more Krista images.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to do some sketch challenges recently and I loved your sketch and had great fun playing. Inspiring DT creations to drool over too.
Great sketch and wonderful inspiration by the DT's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all inspiration and great sketches :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this sketch! It worked perfectly for my card. Thanks for all the lovely DT inspiration!
