Twas the Sketch Before Christmas...

HO HO HO!! Not long now before we hear sleigh bells in the sky and reindeer on the roof!! I am far from ready but will not let myself get stressed out about it. So I didn't get my cards mailed out this year or very many presents bought, it's okay. Christmas is all about family and friends and letting that inner child free to enjoy it all!!!!!


A big welcome to our Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge blog. We are thrilled to have you with us. Before I show off our awesome sketch, let me announce the winners from last week.


Drum roll please......

Thanks so very much to everyone who joined us last week.



Now spread the news, the new sketch is here!!! And we are looking forward to seeing what you do with it!!!!


It is an honor for me to tell you about our sponsor this week, because I am also on her Design Team. I'm talking about Heather of Fresh Brewed Designs.


Heather is the sweetest! She combines her sassy style with her love of coffee!

She is also very generous, not only providing the DT with images, but also giving the winner of this week's challenge 3 FREE DIGIS of your choice.



Now the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Design Team has some showing off of their own for you!

Here are their creations...

  1. Merry Christmas everyone, well it just doesn't feel like Christmas over here it's far too hot and humid for this time of year. Who feels like a hot cooked Christmas dinner in this heat, this year it's yummy salads, new potatoes with ham, turkey. Some delectable desserts, good wine and some family fun around the pool and in the evening a family BBQ and more food which we're still full from our lunch and we really don't need it, but it is Christmas.
    Congratulations to all our winners this week, weren't there some fantastic cards. It was so good to see so many entries as I know everyone is just so busy at this time of year.
    Aren't all the card just so cute this week, Thanks Heather for being our sponsor this week, there are so many great images. Arlana thanks for another neat sketch to work with and I love next weeks sketch as well it's awesome. Linda thanks for the posting this week it's wonderful, you made me chuckle. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year.

    Hugs to everyone
