Papercraft Toodle

Happy Sweet Sketch Wednesday to all of you! Yes, it's time for a new challenge and we have some fun cards and a terrific sketch today for you at SSW2.

This is a great sketch that Sally drew up for the challenge this week. I like the diamond shapes because they are unusual and grab attention. I hope you give it a try and join us in the challenge.

We welcome back Broken Box Stock as our sponsor this week. Wendy Sefcik is the owner/illustrator at Broken Box and I love the unique whimsical images she creates. The grand prize winner will receive three free digital images from Broken Box - a fantastic prize! Thanks Wendy!

I'm featuring Papercraft Toodle from Broken Box Stock on my card today. It was colored with Copic markers and the papers are from Stampin' Up. I've had that "Been There Stamped That" stamp for ages and thought it was perfect here. All in all it makes for a fun card for a stamping buddy of mine.

Now head on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and see the great inspiration cards our team made for you and the challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Teacup

Well the kids are back in school and that makes morning here just as hectic as ever - in a good way of course! My son is a high school senior now and every school day is meaningful and to be cherished. I know this year will go by fast for him and me :(  My daughter is off to a good start as a sophomore too - gobs of homework on the first day but she's handled it just fine.

Now on to today's card for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge this week. We're featuring Broken Box Designs images and have some great samples to inspire you at SSW.

Sally created the sketch for this week's challenge and it goes together quickly and looks terrific. I hope you give it a try and join us in the challenge fun this week.

Broken Box Designs is our sponsor this week and Wendy, the owner and illustrator, has such a wonderful selection of images to choose from. We loved creating with her digi stamps this week. The Grand Prize winner of the challenge will receive a $5 gift certificate from Broken Box. Thanks Wendy for your sponsorship of our challenge!

I collect teacups and this Teacup image from Broken Box caught my eye. I decided for a vintage look with my card this week using Copic markers to color the image, distress inks and some vintage looking papers from MME. I added a bit of sparkle with a glitter pen which is a bit difficult to photograph well.

For more inspiration using the sketch this week, stop on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and take a look at the design team samples using Broken Box images. There's a whole selection of wonderful card that will entice you to join us this week in the challenge.  Hope to see your card in the mix this week!

Christmas Tree Toodles

Welcome back to another Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge! We have a terrific sketch and a new sponsor this week that I know you'll enjoy so let's get started...

This is a great layout that I hope you'll try this week.  Nice layering, terrific placement for the embellishment and pretty easy to put together using those pretty Christmas papers you have in your stash!

We're so excited to announce a new sponsor of our challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  That sponsor is Broken Box Stock and you're just going to love what you see there. Broken Box Stock is a fun, imaginative and unique clipart shop featuring hand-drawn illustrations and digital stamps by Wendy Sefcik.  All you cardmakers, scrapbookers and crafters of all kinds will find something you love at Broken Box Stock!

And this is what the Grand Prize winner of the challenge will receive from Broken Box Stock! The Holiday Toodles Set Printable Page that you'll enjoy all year long! I hope you'll play along with us this week for a chance to win this generous prize!

You'll find this image in the grand prize winner package.  It's called Christmas Tree Toodles and is also sold separately. I think it's darling and makes a fun Christmas card. This Toodle was colored with Copics and I applied crystal effects on the tree ornaments and star. Stickles were used for the sparkle on the tree and her outfit fluff.  The papers match her whimsical tree hat and are from Bo Bunny.
