Rainboots With Tulips

Well I don't know how my schedule got so messed up this week thinking that today is Wednesday but it did. I guess I should be pleasantly surprised and thankful that I'm one day closer to the weekend than I thought I was!  So here is my inspiration for the sketch challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday today...

Here's the sketch to follow - a blast from the past sketch created by Arlana Patten and it just look terrific.

Pattie Gomez, owner and illustrator of Pattie's Creations is our sponsor this week. We all love using Pattie's images. The grand prize winner of the challenge this week will receive two free images from Pattie's Creations.  Thanks Pattie!

I chose this wonderful image Rainboots With Tulips and colored it with Copic markers. The papers that I love for their bright, sunny colors are from the dollar bin at a local store.  Tulips are my favorite flower so I love this time of year where they are popping up all over and naturally loved this image!

Now stop on by the Sweet Sketch Wednesday site and see the other inspiration created by the design team using Pattie's Creations images.

Brooke

Isn't this a fun image? It's from Dilly Beans, the sponsor of our new sketch challenge starting today at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Here's the sketch to follow - a terrific one I say!

Megan Suarez, the owner and illustrator of images at Dilly Beans digi stamps is our sponsor this week and we love creating with her "big eye art" stamps. The grand prize winner of the challenge this week will receive three free digis from Dilly Beans. Thanks Megan for sponsoring us!

I chose this Dilly Beans image called Brooke and colored her with Copic markers. The papers are by Cosmo Cricket. A little dimension was added by popping up the flower in her hair and also duplicating the same flower for the corner embellishment in the sketch.

Now take a minute and pop on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday to see the other Dilly Beans images we're featuring and the wonderful and creative cards the design team is showing off to inspire you.

Forget-Me-Nots

Welcome back to a new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday featuring my absolute favorite sponsor, A Day For Daisies.  This will be a quick post - I'm vacationing in Florida and soaking up the heat of the sun after a long, cold Michigan winter!

Here's the sketch to follow for our challenge this week.  It's pretty simple but I think it looks terrific with a lot of possibilities for embellishment.  Give it a try!

I just love the images that Tammy creates at A Day For Daisies. I find them so inspiring and so beautiful colored up.  A Day For Daisies is our sponsor this week and is providing a $12 gift certificate to the grand prize winner of our challenge. Thanks Tammy for your generous sponsorship and wonderful images!

For my inspiration card, I chose this lovely image called Delivery Bonnet from A Day For Daisies. I see blue Forget-Me-Not flowers when I look at this image so I colored it up that way using Copic markers. And of course, yellow is a perfect color to combine with the blue. The papers are from Pebbles.

We have such beautiful sample cards with A Day For Daisies images at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Stop on over there for more inspiration!

Cow Are You?

Isn't this such a fun card? The images are from a new sponsor, Deedee's Digis, for the new challenge starting today at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. But first let's start with the sketch for the week...

Here you go - it's another good one from our own Sally. I like the checkerboard background on this one. Just create a card using this layout and play along with us this week!

We welcome Deedee's Digis as our new sponsor of the challenge this week. Created by Deedee Anderson, you'll find a ton of wonderful image sets to play with. The grand prize winner of the challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate to Deedee's Digis. Thanks for your generous sponsorship Deedee!

The set I'm featuring is called Cow Are You from Deedee's Digis. It comes with individual cow images in precolored and line drawn versions. There are black and white cows in the set too along with the cow print digital papers and sentiments.  A terrific value! I chose the precolored version here along with the complimentary papers.

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.

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!
