Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope you all are enjoying this blessed day with family and friends.

It's hard to believe this is the last challenge of 2013 at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and we have some news there today. Arlana is resigning her post as owner of SSW and Sally Dube is taking over starting next week.  The new challenge site will be Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and the new link for the weekly challenges will be www.sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com.  Most of the team will carry over to the new site and owner and you'll continue to have those terrific sketches to follow each week with generous prize packages for winners like we have now.  You can read more about it from Arlana at the SSW site.

Here's the sketch for the final challenge of the year - it's a blast from the past sketch originally appearing in Week 98 in April 2011. 

Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor this week and Jodi is offering the grand prize winner of the challenge 7 digi stamps totaling $21.  This is such a terrific prize I hope it motivates you to create a card and play along.  Thanks Jodi for your generous sponsorship!

I chose this fun image from Bugaboo called DeDe Christmas Ornaments to create with this week. It makes such a fun card I think.  It was colored with Copic markers and glittered up a bit with a sparkly gel pen and some crystal lacquer on the orgnaments.  The papers are from Authentique.

Now head on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and read the final farewell from Arlana and see the fantastic cards created to inspire you to join our challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by!
