Welcome Wednesday!! Hey there friends, I hope you are all ready for a new Sketch Challenge here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It's Sally posting from Massachusetts, sandwiched between Boston and Cape Cod!! We have had quite a week with all of the events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing. The support that has been felt from not only around the US, but also from around the World has been amazing!! We live in a world where we are faced with so many trials, and I am so thankful to see how people rally together to help those who are hurting and to support one another from both near and far. So from my little corner of Boston, Thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers!! Boston Strong!!
I am so glad you have stopped by to check out our Challenge!!

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.

super sketch and another week of great cards from the DT xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for another challenging sketch. This one was a bit more of a challenge for me as I'm away from home - no die-cutting machine with me so have to make do with what I have. Got around the problem with some clever fussy cutting and the help of the trimmer for the rest of the card.
ReplyDeleteFabulous sketch, loving all the layers and wonderful inspiration from DT.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Nicola
