Sweet Sketch Wednesday 224 and Digi Stamp Boutique

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's Joanna, your hostess from soggy Colorado hosting this week. I know that you've probably heard about our crazy weather but I thought that I would share some photos with you

This is Boulder, home of the University of Boulder, the largest University in Colorado.  The heavy rain forced it to close.  Boulder County was one of the hardest hit.

 

This is Broomfield, a town near Denver, our capital.  Roads washed out and homes were flooded.

 This is highway 34 near Estes Park. Weather forecasters are saying that our 11+ inches was half a year's rain, in three days.  Good heavens that's a "lotta" rain.

This is an over-loaded sewer/geyser in Manitou Springs, near where I live.






But enough about our wet weather, let's get started this week by announcing the winners of last week's A Day For Daisies challenge....

A big congratulations to all the winners from last week.

If you are new to Sweet Sketch Wednesdays a BIG welcome to you!  For those who are returning, we are thrilled to see you back.  We can't wait to see what you do with this week's sketch.

And speaking of Arlana's sketch, it's a classic rewind from July of 2011.  We'd love for you to take a look to see how the designers of yesteryear handled it.

This week we are sooo happy to be able to welcome back Sally-Ann from Digi Stamp Boutique.  She has been our faithful monthly sponsor for many years and we are always excited to use her images.

Sally-Ann is generously providing a prize of 6 free digi images to the winner. Nice!
