Ladybug Bud



Good morning and welcome to my blog, happy Wednesday.  Last Saturday night my husband and I went to a 1920's evening which was a great night and we all had to dress accordingly, I didn't make a dress but added a few bits and pieces to a dress I already had.  Here's the hair piece I made which will give you some idea.



Congratulations to our winner and top 3 from last week.  Great work everyone and I loved looking at your creativity.

Now, on to this week’s challenge and our fabulous sketch for you to follow…

Sketch # 94





  
Create your card using this sketch. You can rotate it or flip it – it just has to maintain the essence of the sketch when you create your card.

Don't forget to check the challenge rules, comment on the SSW2 posting for this fortnight and post our sketch on your posting.

We are so happy to welcome back Sami Stamps as our sponsor this week. Samantha Siemers Ratliff is the owner and illustrator of the wonderful images offered at Sami Stamps. You might know Sami as the younger sister of Tammy at A Day For Daisies where she grew up fascinated with art and watching her sister paint all day in her art studio. Sami got her start through her sister’s store and now has an ever expanding selection of her own digi images at Sami Stamps. Sami’s inspiration comes from those things around her that make her happy in hope that it might brighten your day.

Flower Bird


Good morning and welcome to my blog.  As I get older I wonder where my 24 hours a day goes to.  As a child days seem to be longer and now days a day passes so quickly and I don't have enough hours in a day to get everything done.
I would love to have a day a week in my craft room just to do what I want to do, but when the family is around I feel so guilty sitting crafting when I know there are other things I could be and should be doing.
This week we have another wonderful sketch which is brilliant and you can use up all those scrap pieces of your favourite design papers that we all keep.

Sketch # 93

I know I've used Flower Bird before but I just adore this image.
Here my card using this wonderful image.


3 D mounting of the image and a quick look at the inside of my card.

This week our wonderful sponsor is 

Bugaboo Stamps


Bio:

Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps:  As if raising 5 children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the work of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. Bugaboo Stamps has become one of the leading companies in digital images. From seriously snarky to sugar sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!!  If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampilicious.  And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for the weekly Challenges at Catch the Bug.



Now it's time to grab a coffee and check out what Team
