It’s another great sketch this week by our own talented Sally Dube!  We’re so lucky to have Sally creating these wonderful sketches while our sweet Arlana is recovering.  Let’s give another Get Well shout out to Arlana – we miss her terribly here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!  We’re thinking of you every week Arlana and looking forward to the day you return with your wonderful creations – both sketches and cards! 

Be sure to check the rules for the challenge at the bottom of this post – we want everyone to be eligible for the Grand Prize!

This week we’re featuring our sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps! Jodi at Bugaboo is a regular sponsor of Sweet Sketch Wednesday and we love the fun images she creates!  The Grand Prize winner of this week’s challenge will receive 7  free digi images totaling $21 from Bugaboo – a terrific prize!  Thanks Jodi for your generous support of our challenges!

Now here’s a little bit about Bugaboo Stamps and their creator Jodi: 
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  at Totally Stampalicious.  And finally, join theBugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Prize: 7 digi stamps that value $21

We hope these samples inspire you to create and join in our challenge this week.

Hello everyone,  looks like it is Wednesday again and we are always happy to have you join us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  We hope you will enjoy playing along with us this week.  This is Judi hosting you from the Pacific Northwest!

First off, I hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Father's Day. No matter what day Father's Day is celebrated, it is a great day to honor Dads and to show our love appreciation for all they do.  It was a busy day for me as our family is rapidly growing....so the dinner crowd gets bigger with each event...which means more cooking and more cleaning up!  But all in all it's always a fun event as everyone pitches in to help out in one way or another.

Next I would like to share a few photos from a hike my husband and I  took last year at Paradise on Mt Rainier.  Just like to share a little of the beauty of the great Pacific Northwest!




Now let me share with you our winner for last week's challenge:
The Grand Prize Winner is:

Liselot #9






Please contact Arlana at 
sweetberrydesigns@hotmail.com
Please include the names of the two images you would like from Stamp-n-doodle.
