Congratulations to our winner and our Top 3 cards this week and it's so nice to see some of our older followers returning after having time off.

Sketch #164

Here's my card using a beautiful image

 from this week's sponsor

Digi Doodle Shop.  I had so much fun colouring my image and I'm so happy how my card turned out.

This image reminded me of my Dad he always had beautiful gardens fruit, vegetable and flowers and he always had a bed of Marigold's in our garden.

A little Bio on two amazingly talented ladies the mother and daughter team from

Digi Doodle Shop

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations.  We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.

Sincerely,

Judy and Joy

Today  is Wednesday and it's

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I'm currently away with my family for a week of a little relaxation.  We're having a couple of days in Rotorua where there are Geyser's boiling mud pools and wonderful thermal swimming pools and there's so much for the boys to do at this time of year.  Then we're off to the mountains from there on Tuesday for four days of skiing and snowboarding. 

Congratulations to our winner and our top 3 cards, I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment on all your cards this week as I've had very little Internet access.

Pattie Gomez Bio

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.

My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed.
Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Allie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…
