Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #106


Wedding Chapel
Congratulations
Merry Christmas
 with Polly Penguin

Wow where did that week go too?  Here it is Wednesday again and that means it's another
Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I went to post my card for the week and realised that I hadn't even made it let alone ordered my image from our sponsor.  I sometimes have my cards made in advance and thought I had already made this weeks sketch.  I have heaps of DigiStamp Boutique images so grabbed one off my computer very quickly.  Later on I was looking at all of Sally-Ann's wonderful new June images and noticed that she had a freebie for June so I grabbed that to make my second card.   I tried to make my image look like a Christmas Decoration.   You can find this freebie here
We had some amazing cards and images this week using our sketch and congratulations to all our winners.

This is a great sketch to work with.

Oh, Kathie you are not dumb, I love the papers and they have such a different look I wouldn't have realized if you hadn't told on yourself. Beautiful showcase of two cards with the same sketch. Love your wedding card and what a lovely image. I am loving that cute penquin and will have to go get him for my future creations. Love the gorgeous embellies you added for this design. I want to thank you so much for the warm welcome to the team and look forward to getting to know you and all of the ladies on the team. I have always so enjoyed SSW and know this will be a fun adventure.

Gracious Kathie, these are two gorgeous cards! I love that gold paper on the wedding card - how beautiful that is against your wonderfully colored image. And that penguin card is the perfect winter card - love the idea of making it look like an ornament. Very clever.
