Sweet Sketch Wednesday #85

Hello everyone!  This is Judi posting today from the Great Northwest in University Place, Washington, where I am warming up from last week when I was visiting Arlana in Utah with 8 to 20 degree weather.  Normal winter temps in the Northwest are 35-50 degrees.  I usually feel half  frozen with those temperatures because of the damp moisture which we have here but I am not complaining this week.  I am actually feeling on the warm side compared to last week!  It seems like many locations around the world are having cooler temperatures than normal this winter so I hope you are staying warm and those of you who are enjoying the warmth of the sun where ever you are....just enjoy! 

Most of all, I hope you are all gearing up for another fabulous week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!

Our sponsor this week is our monthly favorite,
 Digi Stamp Boutique. 
Sally Ann has been sponsoring SSW from the beginning and
 she always offers such a generous prize to our Weekly Winner. 
Her prize is
6 digis of the winner’s choice! 
You just may be that lucky winner of her digis...
so go look around her site and start creating!



Last week's Grand Prize winner is:

                                                       TINIE (#14)
Please e-mail Arlana at sweetberrydesigns@hotmail.com for your prize information.


Our Top 3 for last week's entries are:




Don't forget to grab your Grand Prize and Top 3 badge located on the sidebar!


Each week we look forward to seeing your creations and want to thank you for your support whether you have been with us for awhile or whether you are new to SSW.  It is always so difficult to choose the winners each week.  We love the creative inspiration that you all bring to SSW.

Here is Arlana's sketch for this week.  We can't wait to see what you will create!


Now it is time for us to show what we have created for you!






































To Play Along This Week - it's simple:

1. Create a card using the sketch of the week. You may use any stamp or element you have to create your card, although if you have any Digi Stamp Boutique images, we'd love to see what you do with them.

2. If posting to an online gallery, please use Sweet Sketch along with each week's number, which is 85.

3. Add a link on your blog about Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

4. Post your card along with the link.

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

6. Be sure to leave us a comment here as we love hearing from you (you must do this to be considered for the Grand Prize).

And most important:
HAVE FUN!!

  1. Well hello everyone boy Wednesday seems to come around quicker every week. What an amazing aray of cards this week ladies and such fun images they're all too cute for words. Arlana another wonderful sketch to work with, Judi thanks for a great posting and I'm so glad you're a little warmer this week. Our over night low for the last 3 nights has been 21c which is about 70F so I'm looking forward to a little cooler temps at night. Sally-Ann thank you for being our wonderful sponsor each month, I just adore your images, love them to bits and they are just so easy to work with. Congratulations to all our winners I just loved Tinie's card it was amazing and our top 3 rocked. Wishing everyone a great week of crafting and a lovely weekend.
    Hugs

I like looking this week at the different things you have all done for the 'flower' part of the sketch. Some beautiful flowers and some fab ideas like the bow with a brad through it adn the bunch of balloons!
