Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 with a twist Fairies and or Mermaids.

Good morning and welcome to 26th March 2014, where have those last 3 months gone too since Christmas?  My boys will be home from school in two weeks time for a three week break.  It only feels like yesterday that they went back to school for the start of term.

Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards great work everyone.

  It was lovely to see our regular faces staying with us here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and it's also nice to see new faces entering our challenges.  I know for myself I've noticed a lot of Challenge Blogs closing down, is it because know one seems to have the time, is there too much work involved or is the novelty wearing off making cards and a new craft is about to hit our homes I really don't know but it's lovely having so many new faces entering our challenges.

Because it's the end of the month we don't have a new sketch but there's a twist this week.  Fairies and or Mermaids and this week I've used 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 

 Sketch #009

 Today I've used Amalia's Daisy Crown by Dilly Beans Digi Stamps.

This week we have a fabulous new sponsor which is Megan K Suarez the illustrator and owner of Dilly Beans Digi Stamps.  Don't you just love these fun images?

create something to bring a smile to someone else and hope you enjoy
creating to your hearts content with some of my doodles.. ~Laurie

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch #008 Our Sponsor is A Day For Daisies

Our week passes by so quickly I feel that our Wednesday's roll into each other.  
On the 1st March it was the start to our Autumn (Fall) and you would think that the weather gods knew it was the change of season over night as our temperatures have dropped dramatically in the evenings.  Last Monday evening at 9pm it was 20c and last night at 9pm it was 13c what a change.  A friend text me today who has just moved to Queenstown in the South Island and said it was snowing to the mountain range there, it looks very pretty but very cold. 

Welcome to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  It was lovely visiting all of your blogs and seeing which was your favorite sketches and that extra twist of Monochromatic which was totally a first for me, I did enjoy it and I will make another monochromatic card with a Vintage feel I think and image.  Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards great work everyone.

By the time you've started reading this posting I've hopped on a plane and I'm in Australia a fleeting visit to Sydney for 3 days and 2 nights.  So I'll be back by the weekend to comment on your creations.

This week we have another lovely sketch Sally has created and this week we were able to choose our very own images from our sponsor

Tammy Thompson the owner of 

A Day For Daisies
 I just adore her images they really make my creative juices run wild.

Sketch #008 

Here's my card using Garden Bonnet, you may recall I used a similar image last year from A Day For Daisies which was Delivery Bonnet.  I love these sweet images they remind me of 'Holly Hobbie' which I was totally in love with when I was a very young girl.

This week our sponsor is the very talented Tammy Thompson the owner of
