Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #225 Sponsor Eureka Stamps

Baroque Square

Hi everyone and welcome to the middle of the week, which means it's Wednesday and we have another wonderful 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

As most of you know that I'm away overseas, travelling in Chile and Argentina with my son and 20 other students and adults from his school, learning Spanish.  By now we've arrived in Argentina and hopefully I'm enjoying myself and sampling some of the cuisine and local wines and some wonderful their culture.

This week Sally has another wonderful sketch for you to have a play with.  This sketch isn't hard and I think looks great finished.  My card is very masculine but look great in person.

Sketch # 225

Here's my card using a Baroque Square by Eureka Digi Stamps our new sponsor.

Baroque Era is a form of Architecture from the 16th Century Italy.  You'll see piece of architecture in gilt, gold, silver and wood.  Totally amazing work.

This week our new sponsor is

7. Embellishments: Black Gems from my stash used on the corners of the card, in the Baroque and on the gold and black embellishments.

9.This is how I finished the inside of my card.

Take care everyone I do look forward seeing your creations this week have a great week and happy crafting.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #224-112 Sponsor DigiStamp Boutique

Birthday Bobbi

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday.  In three day's time I'll be flying out of New Zealand bound for Chile and Argentina.  I've scheduled my posting for the next 3 weeks and hopefully everything will work as I am keeping my fingers, toes and legs crossed.  I'll have very little Internet access so please don't be disappointed that I haven't commented on your blogs.  I'll be in a different country but on a similar time zone as most of you. 

Being Wednesday mean it's another wonderful
 Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards wonderful work ladies and it was awesome to see what everyone did with that wonderful fun sketch by Sally.

This week we have a blast from the past, it was a sketch I loved then and I still love now and it's rather easy and looks great when finished.

Sketch #224-112

Here's my card using Birthday Bobbi from DigiStamp Boutique.  I know some of you will be saying she used this image about two months ago which is so true, I made a baby boy's card that time and this time it's a little baby girl's card.

Here is my blast from the past using the same sketch #112 back on 27th July 2011.  Isn't it funny without realising I've used that same lovely lace on both of my cards.
