Good morning everyone, it's a lovely sunny spring morning here in New Zealand, the sun is shinning the birds are singing and it isn't raining.

My heart goes out to everyone on the East Coast of America that have been caught up in the storms, flooding and power blackouts.  I do hope all our followers are safe and well and you're all in my prayers.

Today is Wednesday and only 7 weeks to go until Christmas. Congratulations to our winner and top 3 cards great work ladies.

Wednesday morning so that means it's

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Arlana has a very new sketch it's something a little different to work with and they say a change is as good as a rest.  When I saw this sketch I couldn't wait to give it ago and it was great working with it, it's easy and pleasing on the eyes so please give it a go.

BIO

HI all!
Thanks for taking the time to get to know a little bit about the gal behind The Doodle Garden digis!

I'm Jennifer L Nilsson (but please, call me Jenn or Jenna!). And I am blessed to be able to work full-time from home as a licensed artist.

I enjoy creating bright whimsical pieces for manufacturers, but also wanted to be able to offer something to those who like to craft. So I have begun my journey with digistamp designs with my Etsy shop: The Doodle Garden.  It's fairly new, but is growing pretty fast and I am SOOO enjoying creating these little whimsies for YOU! 

This week our lucky winner will receive

 5 single digi's (sets not included)

 of winner’s choice from 

The Doodle Garden.

So check out Jennifer's shop here at

Welcome Sweet Sketch Wednesday lovers do you know it's only 2 months today until Christmas Eve??? Where has 2012 gone too?  I can definitely say it's flown by just so quickly, quicker than last year LOL. That's because I'm getting older.

Congratulations to our winner and our Top 3 cards, awesome work ladies and there were just so many lovely entries this week.

Today Arlana has another wonderful sketch it's very easy and I think looks great once completed.

Sketch #177

I just love JJ and I think we all know a JJ in our lives through our travels JJ is bit of a party girl.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Jodie Mackrell the owner and illustrator of 

Bugaboo Digi Stamps.

Here's a little bit about Jodie

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

I just adore Bugaboo images as there's an image for everyone whatever suits your taste.

A Little Bit About Krista.

My name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!). And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)

Krista is offering our very lucky winner 

2 Digital Images
