Sweet Sketch Wednesday 143 and Doodle Pantry

Good Morning Sweet Sketch Wednesday Followers.
This is Nancy posting this week from Northern Arizona.
We have had a touch of spring in my part of the world.....I am not sure where winter went.  We sure didn't have much of it.
Do you realize that in a couple of weeks it will be St. Patrick's Day and daylight savings time.  Is Daylight savings time world wide or is it just in the United States?  Hummm.  Here in Arizona, our time stays the same.  In the winter time, I am on the same time as my sister Arlana and in the summer, I am on the same time as my sister Judi.  It is a little crazy.  I remember as a kid we would play outside until 10 pm at night because it would still be light enough to do so.  The bad part about it is that in the winter it is dark by 4:30-5:00 pm.  That wasn't fun at all.  Just a little tidbit about daylight savings time....I am sure you wanted to know, right??

Well, let's get going.......

We have a fabulous sponsor this week.  "Laurie" from
DOODLE PANTRY

 

“I am simply thrilled and so thankful to be able to sponsor Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge! We have a wide variety of whimsical characters as well as realistic scenery, floral images, scriptures and a small selection of digitally pre-coloured images. My digital doodles have a special place in my life, and I enjoy the opportunity to share them with everyone at affordable prices.”

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.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday and The Stamping Boutique!

I figured alot of my readers had been watching the news about the Susan Cox Powell Family. My  daughter, Amber, is one of Susan Cox Powell's good friends.  Most all the pictures you have seen in the news media were taken by my daughter several months before the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell. On Sunday after the devastating news my daughter, Amber, put this black and white collage together in tears. My daughter's heart is broken by this horrible act. I would like to pay tribute to my daughter, Amber, and to the Susan Cox Powell Family and hope that we as bloggers can keep these families in our prayers. If you have Facebook and time line you may become a follower of  Hardman Photography and use this on your time line. Any other use is not permitted.

Love and prayers from Arlana and all of us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Can you believe that it is almost Valentine's Day?
This is Patti posting for you today and I wanted to give each of you that visits and participates with us each week a beautiful bouquet of roses and a thank you for doing so! We would be nothing without you and our wonderful sponsors.

This week's sponsor is the fabulous Tracy and The Stamping Boutique!

Tracey Malnofski's resume reads like a who's who of the Stamping Industry. Besides being the owner and a designer for The Stamping Boutique, she's also a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Company and has also worked for InStyle Stamps, Squigglefly, and The Digi Shack. She's a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in her community.Tracey has quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but she loves them all. Her "Boutique" has it all - fairytale, whimsy, sentimental . . . and Candy!

Here's what Tracey says about her Stamping Boutique. 

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality, as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

You can find a link to her blog and store Here .

Arlana has a wonderful sketch for you to work with this week and I know all of us on the team had fun with it.

Please click on each of our names to be taken to our blogs, if you have time we would love to hear your comments on our cards.

Now, the rules, not always fun to read.... but necessary:

1.      Create a card using the sketch of the week. Remember to follow it without changing the orientation or flipping it.   A flower can be any embellishment or a sentiment. Small dots can be brads, jewels, pearls, flowers or other embellishments. Remember to follow the main layout and shape of the sketch. For example: If the sketch is an oval, it needs to be an oval. A vertical rectangle needs to be a vertical rectangle. However, if the layer behind a circle is a zigzag, it can be a scallop, another circle or whatever you want it to be.

2.     Use an image from this week’s sponsor (The Stamping Boutique).  Feel free to use one of their freebies, if available.  We appreciate our sponsor’s generosity in offering you a prize for your creativity!

3.     Post this week’s sketch along with your card on your blog with a link back to Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

4.     If posting to an online gallery, please use Sweet Sketch Wednesday #140-47.

5.     Click into Inlinkz to add your card to this week’s sketch challenge.

6.     Leave a comment for us on this blog.  You must do this to be considered for the Grand Prize.

So grab Arlana's sketch #140-47 and an image from

The Stamping Boutique and begin your creation!

We are looking forward to seeing your creations this week.

Hugs.....Patti
