Happy Sweet Sketch Wednesday to everyone!  This is Judi hosting you this week from University Place, Washington, where we have had some incredible summer weather long before its normal time.  The past two weekends have been unseasonably warm. It was perfect weather for two weekend birthday parties of my grandchildren. Summer usually doesn't arrive in the Pacific Northwest until after July 4. Now the rain has returned and we are back to our normal low to mid 60 degree temps.  
   
Here are a few photos of the Pacific Northwest for you to see the beauty we enjoy.

Well, it's always a delight to see what our followers will create each week and then to see who our Grand Prize Winner and Top 3 will be.  So I won't delay the suspense!

Here is the sketch for this week,
hand-crafted by our one and only, Sally!





This week our devoted sponsor, Sally Ann of Digi Stamp Boutique, will be here to delight you.  It's been nearly 4 years since Arlana started Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Digi Stamp Boutique has been with us on the third week of every month since then.  

Here is Sally Ann's Bio:


All images/designs are created and copyright owned by Sally-Ann Hancock. 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. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy creating.


Our winner will receive the prize of 6 free digi images from Digi Stamp Boutique.


Now let's see what the talented DT 
from SSW has created for you this week!   




















We hope you will play along with us this week!

Here are the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge rules for playing along:
1. Create a card using the sketch of the week.  If you have a Digi Stamp Boutique image, we'd love to see what you can do with it.  However, you may use any stamp or element you have to create your card.
2.  If you are posting to an online gallery, please use Sweet Sketch Wednesday # 206 as your label or tag.
3.  Add the sketch of the week to your blog and include a link back to Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
4.  Post your card on your blog along with the link to SSW.
5.  Sign in to Inlinkz and add a direct link back to your card on your site.
6.  Be sure to leave a comment here on this site and please remember that this is one of the rules to be considered for the Grand Prize.

Have a fantastic week creating!

Note:  The challenge closes on Tuesday evening, 7:00 pm MST.

Hugs from Judi and
