Sweet Sketch Wednesday 176

Hi, it's Joanna from Sitting on Pens here.   Greetings from colorful Colorado, USA!  Here in the West, our color comes mostly from Aspens.  We get amazing yellows but very little red and orange.





We seem to get short bursts of color, rather than the lengthy season like the rest of the country.  Our "Fall" lasts sometimes only three weeks and then ... snow.  I took these pictures on Thursday and by Friday, they were off the trees thanks to a rain/hailstorm. 


I also wanted to include a picture of my hiking companion.  This is Holli (short for Holiday) and she's pausing here in the shade, to say, "what the heck Mom, I thought we were hiking here!"

 Here are the winners from last week's challenge ...

The Grand Prize Winner of Sketch #175 is:

And now... on to this week's Sketch Challenge...

I am super excited to say that this week our Sponsor is Sally-Ann Hancock from DigiStamp Boutique.

As Sally-Ann says, "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. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them."

 

This week's winner will receive 6 free Digis from Sally's shop!  Yay!
