On to our Challenge...  This week we are revisiting a wonderful Sketch by Arlana...

And, we are Sponsored by the wonderful Jodie of Bugaboo Stamps!!  Let me share with you... 

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: 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 stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #201

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

It's Kathie here from Auckland New Zealand posting this week.  Well our clocks turned back on Sunday morning for the end of Day Light Savings which meant an extra hours sleep in.  Our days are still very warm for this time of year but wouldn't you know it the clocks turned back and the evening temperatures have changed dramatically and really cooled down now to one digit at night and early mornings. I know that my friends in the Northern Hemisphere will be smiling soon and so looking forward to a warm Spring and Summer.
I do love the look of our Autumn trees.

'
The trees at Cornwall Park have just started to change colour.

The trees at Cornwall Park late on a Summers evening.
This park was donated to the city of Auckland by 
Sir John Logan Campbell
and is situated in the heart of Auckland for everyone to use.
Cornwall Park is a landscape park designed for the recreation and enjoyment of all the people of New Zealand. The park is renowned for its landscape design and its wide variety of mature trees. Cornwall Park consists of 125 hectors of land some being used as an urban farm in the city.
