4. Post your card along with the link.

5. Sign in to Inlinkz and add a direct link back to your site.

And most important: HAVE FUN!!
 This part is being added by Arlana. Thanks for making last year such a great year at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Hopefully many more to come. I have added a new blog to my collection of blogs. I will be teaching craft classes at my local Roberts Crafts. Be sure to run over and check out my new blog Sweet Things Handmade. I am going to run a contest so please become a follower and have a chance to win a prize. I will be posting more on that soon. Also I will be adding some cooking too. You wont want to miss out.

  1. Good Morning Ladies, It nice to see that we keep getting new followers all the time. I cant thank all of you enough for helping to my blog run. We had almost 39 players last week Yeppie. Please forgive me last week for not posting much on many blogs. Trying to get my new blog and business going has had me swamped. I hope you can bug on over and check out my new blog which is still a work in progress. Thanks Deanne for posting this week. I want to welcome Genevieve back with us on the design team. We have missed you. I also want to thank By Lori Designs for sponsoring us this week. Hope you all are having a happy new year.
