Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #191 With our new sponsor Birdie Brown

Hi everyone welcome to my blog.  I'm back from a wonderful five weeks of being in our beach house from after Christmas until the middle of January and then on the 16th January we went to Queenstown for 10 days in the South Island.  

Here's a few photo's from our deck of our beach house so we don't have to walk that far to the beach just across the grass and I can watch the boys on the beach from my kitchen or the deck.  There plenty of grass to play cricket, Soccer or just having fun by kicking a ball around.  My little slice of piece and quiet and relaxation.

 

 Next week I'll have photo's of Queenstown for you.

Today is Wednesday and that means it's another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I'm sorry I having been visiting your blogs for last month but being away and very little access to the Internet it was just easier to have a break and come back refreshed.

Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards I'm really looking forward to commenting on your creations this week.

Sally has created another lovely sketch this week and is really fun to put together.

Sketch #191

 Now, on with introducing our new sponsor this week.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch # 190 Sponsor Floppy Latte Designs

Good morning everyone.

I'm back from the land from holiday mode, we've been away for a month and that time with my family has gone so quickly.

I have to make my apologies to my peers and management at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and all my followers.

I don't know what happened before I left but I forgot my posting for Floppy Latte Designs.  I was so organised before Christmas, I had made my cards about 5 weeks in advance, completed my postings and used scheduler, I remember doing my postings and thought that I would complete Sketch #190 between coming home from our beach house and before going to Queenstown and guess who forgot.  I had a 36 hours between coming home from one holiday and going away again and packing for everyone.  I checked SSW posting last Wednesday night and it was shock horror where's my posting and as I didn't have my laptop with my with photo's there wasn't a thing I could do about it.   

Don't you just love travelling on planes and they asked did you pack your own bag???

What a stupid question I don't have a maid so of course I did and then they look at my boys and husband what a dam stupid question to them they my help but it's good old mum that does it for them!!!

So here's my belated posting.

Congratulations to all our winners and top 3 cards over the past weeks I have been looking form my iPhone what totally amazing  word ladies.

This week we have another wonderful sketch from our very own Sally Dube.

Sketch #190

This week we have a new sponsor

Jessica and Stef H (Glitterbabe)

from

Floppy Latte Designs

Hi. I'm Jessica (or FLOPPY) of FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS. I design digital stamps and papers, and also rework old woodcuts and drawings and put them into digital stamp form.. and I'm stef (or GLITTERBABE) as I'm known in blogland. I also design digital stamps but not quite as intricately as FLOPPY does. Together we're the LATTE LADIES, or better known as FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS. Jess is the more serious one and stef is the clown – always trying to make people laugh. OK. So she likes the limelight. Keeps me (jess) in the background creating. Together we offer a variety of stamping and scrapbooking images and items reaching out to everyone's tastes (so we think). Do drop by FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS ( www.floppylattedesigns.com/catalog ) and have a look around. We are sure you'll see something you like and we guarantee it'll put a smile on your face!

Our Grand Prize winner this week will receive

Happy New Year 

I do hope you all had a lovely New Year and 2013 has started with a bang.  I won't be giving you a count down on how many sleeps there are until Christmas as that would be depressing at this time of year.  It's summer here in New Zealand and I'm currently away at our beach house having a little R & R, but still cooking meals, untangling fishing lines and sorting out disagreements with my boys.

Today is Wednesday and that means it another wonderful 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
