SSW 234 Eureka Stamps!



Good morning everyone! It's Joanna from Colorado as your hostess this week.  I wanted to share some of flowers I picked up at the Farmer's Market this week.  I don't know why but Sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers.  They just make me feel think of Fall and make me happy.  Lucky for me, they are plentiful in the area that I live.

I know that everyone here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday would like to wish our American friends an (early) Happy Thanksgiving!

Our grand prize winner from last week is...

#14 Papersniffer

Please email Sally Ann, owner of Digi Stamp Boutique:
to receive your £10 Voucher for Digi Stamp Boutique.

This week we have a wonderful sponsor, Eureka Stamps as our sponsor. They offer a little bit of everything in their store.  I think it's fair to say that there is definitely something for everyone!  Here is a bit more about them:


Finally, The Stamps You've been Looking for! Eureka Stamps offers a large variety of images and sentiments in many different categories for all of your stamping needs. Our Paper Sculpting stamps add an extra dimension to your creations. Or, Mix and match our Balloons and Balloon Holders to celebrate every occasion. Our Stamps are available as unmounted, deep etched, natural red rubber stamps OR as digital stamps. If Eureka Stamps aren't exactly what you are looking for, Don't miss out on the sister companies: QKR Stampede, Biblical Impressions Rubber Stamps, or the newest addition; Alluring Impressions.

Our winner will receive the prize of any 5 digital images from the Eureka Stamps on-line store.  Let's see what visual delights our talented team from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team has on tap for you this week:

Sweet Sketch Wednesday #233 and Digi Stamp Boutique

Hi there!!  It's Sally hosting from Massachusetts, home of the Pilgrims!!  Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving??  I was driving through Plymouth today and saw that their Thanksgiving parade will take place on Saturday.  Have any of you visited Plymouth?  So many get such a kick out of seeing Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower.  I think visitors are so surprised when they see the size of the rock, much smaller than one would imagine...  I thought I'd share a few pictures I took not too long ago on a visit to Plymouth with my Great Nephew Axel...


I can't imagine what it must have been like for the Pilgrim's travelling on the Mayflower to a new land...  So many crammed into that small ship...

Well, I guess it's time to share this week's Sketch with you all, but first... a word or two about our Sponsor!  This being the third Wednesday of the month means our Sponsor is Sally-Ann Hancock of Digi Stamp Boutique!!  She has so many adorable images to choose from, I never order just one ;-)


Here is a little about Digi Stamp Boutique:
All images/designs are created and copyright owned by Sally-Ann Hancock. My work means the world to me - it allows my passion to draw and create, to fit with my family life too - often the inspiration for my designs. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy creating.  

You can check out Sally-Ann's images by clicking HERE!  Each month she features new images and often has some special pricing!!  Visit often!!


This week's Winner will receive a £10 voucher to her shop!!

Before we go any further, I'd like to announce our Winner and Top Three from last week's Challenge...
