Hearty Hippo

Welcome back to another sketch challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday! This week we have a blast from the past sketch and Meljen's Designs returns as our sponsor.

Here's the sketch for the week - originally drawn up by Arlana Patten. Arlana has always been so talented in developing interesting sketches with lots of layers. This one turns out great.  For more inspiration, you can find the original creations with this sketch here.

Meljen's Designs is our sponsor this week and it's so nice to have Melissa Jenkins return to SSW. We all love her images!  The grand prize winner of the challenge will receive four digi stamps from Meljen's - a fantastic prize.  Thanks Melissa!

I created my card using Hearty Hippo from Meljen's Designs. I colored with Prismacolor pencils this time - it's been a long time since I used those!  The papers are a combination of different companies all from my stash.

Now stop on by Sweet Sketch Wednesday to see more creations with the sketch and Meljen's Designs images.

So Special

Here's my inspiration for you today featuring the new sketch for the challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Our sponsor is Digi Stamp Boutique and I love all the images there that feature little Westie dogs because they remind me of our own little Westie named Tillie Mae.

Here's our little pup with her favorite pillow. She thinks it is her mommy and cuddles with it all the time!

Here's the sketch for the challenge this week. I really like how it turns out especially with the prominent embellishments and place for a sentiment.

Digi Stamp Boutique is our monthly sponsor for which we are truly grateful. Sally Ann has such wonderful images to chose from in her shop. The grand prize winner of the challenge this week will receive a £10 voucher to the Digi Stamp Boutique store - a fantastic prize!

The DSB image I chose is Pip So Special and was colored with Copic markers.  I found the papers at a local shop in their dollar bin of all places and they are so fun! The sentiment is part of the image set from DSB.

Now stop on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and see all the other wonderful creations from the design team - lots more inspiration for you today!

Sweet Little Mouse

Gosh I'm late in posting this and my apologies! A hectic work travel schedule and then off to Purdue to visit my son has kept me from my tasks on this blog. This is my inspiration card for the challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday - no worries there's still time to play along with us in the current challenge.

Here's the fun sketch for this week. This is a good one for the larger images you have.

Bugaboo Stamps is our challenge sponsor this week. The lucky grand prize winner of the challenge will receive 7 free digi images - a fantastic prize! Our thanks to Bugaboo for the generous prize package.

This darling mouse from Bugaboo is simply called Girl Mouse and she happens to currently be free in the Bugaboo store.  She was colored with Copic markers and her bow popped up for character. The papers are My Minds Eye.

Now hop on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and see the wonderful cards the team has created using Bugaboo images.
