Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #237 sponsored by DigiStamp Boutique


Good morning and welcome to another wonderful

Well the countdown is on in my household, my youngest son keeps reminding me how many days to go for Christmas, I so wish he wouldn't as I have so much to do and I feel at this time of year there are less hours in the day.  LOL.

Well this time next week it will be Christmas night for me and for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere you'll be waking up to Christmas morning and I here that a lot of you have plenty of snow in your areas for this time of year.

Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards, great work everyone.  I do wish there were more entries but I know how busy everyone is at this time of year.

Sketch #  237

Here's my card using this fun image by our very own
Sally Dube.  This is a very easy sketch and its so awesome as you can use up all those scrap pieces of paper.  I must admit that I was given 6 sample books of Anna Griffiths design papers and they are all 2 inches wide and 12 inches long and they are the perfect size for this type of sketch.





This week we have the wonderful
Sally Hancock the designer and owner of 
DigiStamp Boutique sponsoring us this week.
