Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday which can only mean that it's another Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
Congratulations to our winner and to our Top 3 cards. Whilst I'm writing this I was hoping that we had more than 7 entries to cover these four spots.
Our dear Sally is still having Laptop problems and hasn't got it back from the repairers as yet so this week we have a blast from the past which Sally designed last year.
Sketch # 219
This week I've used this beautiful image from Bugaboo
For You From Me Block.
I totally love Hydrangea 's as a child I hated them they were such a common flower bush that grew everywhere. But now I'm older I appreciate what a beautiful clever flower this is being made of so many individual flowers and they come in such a variety of colours. These colours depend on what type of soil you have in the ground if it's acid or alkali. We have them growing in our garden, but I haven't got my favourite colour this amazing mauve, mine are cream, apple green, blue and a few pink.
Here's my blast from the past in August 2013
This week our sponsor is the wonderful
Jodie Mackrell the owner and illustrator of all these amazing images over at Bugaboo Stamps.

Wow, what PERFECT paper this week! Loving the colors you've used - very Spring-ish!
This is beautiful, I love the colours and the image x
Wow, this hydrangea card is gorgeous! Your papers couldn't be more perfect! Lovely job inside and out! Your monarch is a lovely contrast too. I have a hydrangea bush in my yard too. I just love the flowers. Mine is bright blue because of the acidic soil from the fir trees. Hope you are doing well. I'm sure the kids are keeping you busy too.
Have a wonderful week!
Judi
Lovely colors in this card -- it feels so Spring-y! Thanks for joining the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge this month.
Kathie, your coloring is so beautiful on your card. The hydrangeas are some of my favorite flowers. I am not as lucky as Judi to have them growing in my yard. Perfect paper too.
Hugs, Nancy

Kath: Caleb made a Van de Graaff generator and tested static electricity (it was pretty cool). TJ and I threw eggs off our balcony to test which kind of packing material was best. We had fun!
The flowers just seem to pop off the page - so pretty. Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Pile it On Challenge, Elizabeth (DT)
I so love your card this week Kathie, it's beautiful. I'm partial to the blue hydrangeas. I'm fascinated by all their beautiful colors.

Thank you for sharing your lovely creation for Lexi's challlenge 113: Easter, Hazel, GDT x
Kathie this is such a delightful card. I love that Bugaboo image too and used it several times last year. It's a joy to colour and comes up so well. Like you I didn't appreciate the beauty of this flower as a child. My parents had a huge hydrangea bush at their front door and it was always a mass of pink flowers in the summer. I too now have a hydrangea bush and really wish mine would flower even half as well as my parents one did! Guess I'll have to dream on! Jx
