Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today being Wednesday means it's a Sweet Sketch 2 Wednesday and we have a new sketch and a great sponsor.

Here's another look at my card as well as the inside.

Now it's time to reveal this fortnights sketch.

Sketch #135

It's a very simple sketch so easy and it looks good.

This fortnight our sponsor is Bugaboo Digital Stamps. We all adore Bugaboo images and so many wonderful images and characters to choose from, there's something for everyone.

   

                                       

Here is a bit about Jodie Mackrell the owner and illustrator of Bugaboo images.

Bugaboo Stamps

Jodie's 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 paper crafting 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 sugary 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.

With Deepest Sympathy

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today I'm sharing a card I made the other night.  Another one to my collection of cards with sentiments only.

A sympathy card isn't easy to make as we are usually making cards that need to be given away because someone has lost a loved one or someone we know.  So I've decided to make a few to add to my collection for just in case situations.

The sentiment I used was an old stamp I bought some time ago and felt that the wording was perfect, a stamp I haven't used very much.
