Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #207-60 Sponsor Elisabeth Bell Designs

Good morning everyone and welcome to another wonderful

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

I'm sorry that I'm late posting my card but it was Mother Nature calling.  We had a storm with very heavy rain, thunder, lightning and hail.  At the time my darling hubby was coming back from overseas and about to land at Auckland Airport.  He said that flying through that the passengers went very quiet and the turbulence wasn't the best.  Because of this storm I haven't had Internet access since Tuesday afternoon and I have just got it back now Thursday lunchtime. 

Congratulations to our winner Janice and to our Top 3 cards awesome work ladies.

I had an accident yesterday and I wonder how many of you have done this or was it just me.  I was refilling one of my Copic Ciao's  you know with the large needle, I had trouble getting it into my copic and missed with a little force I managed to ram it down through the top of my thumb to my knuckle oh did it hurt and I then had to pull it out.  I think I might take myself off to the doctor as it's very sore and swollen.

  So please don't do what I did........ I was using the Copic Booster to fill my pens.....

   

This week we have a blast from the past sketch and using Elisabeth Bell Designs.

Sketch #207-60 

Here is this weeks card using Miss You Love You.

Here's my blast from the past using this same sketch on

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #206 Sponsor DigiStamp Boutique

 Good morning and welcome to another wonderful
 Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Congratulations to our winner and our Top 3 cards awesome work ladies.

This week I felt a little GUILTY well a big bit GUILTY, that the image from DigisStamp Boutique I used didn't have to be coloured it's called Floral Black Set so because of that I created two cards using two of the images in the set.

I have a little smile on my face I made the Top 3 with my card from last week over at Brown Sugar Challenge. 

We have a lovely sketch this week design by our very own Sally Dube.  The sketch is very straight forward with two 1/4 circles hidden behind the circle.  I didn't have a die big enough so I used a desert bowl worked a treat.
