Sketch #203-44

Jodie's Bio

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 Stampsstamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Jodie is offering our very lucky winner 

of the winners choice.

How awesome is that Jodie has so many amazing images you'll 

be totally spoilt for choice.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #202 Sponsor DigiStamp Boutique

Good morning everyone and welcome to my blog and my wonderful supportive followers.  When I woke on Tuesday morning here in New Zealand to here of the news coming in live on TV at the Boston Marathon and the explosions happening, it ran shivers down my spine bringing back memories of September 11 2001.  My heart goes out to the people of Boston.  This was so sad and so terrible.  I just wonder what our world is coming to with so many tragedies around it.  My prayers are with everyone that has been injured and families of the deceased and hope that justice is found.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #201 Sponsor is Stampfairy

 

Welcome to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

As some of you know last weekend I got a Wasp sting on the bottom of my foot I was worried that it would swell up and I wouldn't be able to wear heels to the wedding we were going to this last weekend.

Here's a photo of William and I on the big day and I did wear  heels, the swelling had all gone down within the week. 

.This photo was taken about 6pm at night before the reception and after a few glasses of Champagne.

We picked out the orange in my silk jacket for hubby's tie and satin handkerchief   He could have worn purple, green, blue or pink but I think the orange looked smart.

Here's the Black Suede and Gold shoes the heels are also Gold and the clutch is Black with Gold trim

 This is the top of my Fascinator with Black spotted net.

I so wanted to wear a Fascinator and there is always a time and place for them to be worn and it was so nice to be able to get dressed up.

Congratulations to our winner and to our Top 3 cards there were so many wonderful cards and over 40 entries from our loyal followers and some new ones which is lovely to see.
