Paper Addictions and Sweet Sketch Wednesday



Hello everyone, This is Arlana hosting you this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I have been busy preparing for a boutique for my Paparazzi Jewelry. It will be for two long hot days outside. Luckily I have this cute tent to help me stay a little cool.  Wish me luck in holding up as I am still recuperating from my surgeries earlier this year.



Our fun sponsor this week is Paper Addictions. What fun digis you will find in Jackie Mathews' store! Hope you bug on over and take a look.

Jackie Mathews

A little bit about Jackie!!!

My name is Jacqueline Mathews and I am a crafter and designer. I love paper, pens, doodling, stamping and above all designing. I have a degree in fine arts with an emphasis in graphic design. I worked in the graphic design industry for many years and quit 15 years ago to become a stay at home mom for my 3 kids. Now that the kids are older and don’t need me as much, I am reinventing myself and have decided that I wanted to create my own line of digital stamps. I have dabbled in rubber stamping and became a “Stampin’ up!” demonstrator and had a blast, but thought it would be more fun to create my own stamps. I decided digital was the way to go. It is affordable for the customer and for the designer. I now have a digital stamp shop on Etsy called “PaperAddictions”. I would love to create my own line of rubber stamps someday, but for now I am testing my designs out in my shop to see if anyone likes them. I am pleasantly surprised that I have gotten a good response to the images I have designed so far. This positive response has motivated me to create more images in the future.

The winner for this week's challenge will be able to choose any 5 items from Paper Addictions Esty Shop.


First of all, the winner of last week's Challenge  is...

Congratulations to Janette our winner from last week and to our Top 3 cards, great work ladies there were some amazing creations.

    Great Sketch! Love the simplicity of it but it allows for a lot of creativity - it can be CAS or it can be embellished too!
