Potted Lavender

Good morning followers and visitors and welcome to my blog.

Today is Wednesday which means we're another day closer to summer and we have another 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Now for this fortnights sketch.

Sketch #141

This week our wonderful sponsor is 

A Day For Daisies.

This fortnight we're sponsored once again by Tammy Thompson the illustrator and owner of A Day For Daisies. I love to create with her wonderful and whimsical digital stamps.  No matter what your personal style is, you can find it over at 

A Day For Daisies.

Bio:

A Day For Daisies began as a small token to a constant need to create. Pairing a love of whimsical illustration, with a tidy graphic design background, Tammy S Thompson, produced her first stamp designs, introducing irresistibly sweet stamps to crafters around the globe. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful world around us, she strives to express the happiness and gratitude she feels in each stamp design she creates.

Presently, A Day For Daisies has grown to over 3,000 Digital Stamps with a quickly expanding line of Best Loved Clear Polymer. A Day For Daisies has been published and awarded over the years for innovative and unique designs created to inspire the crafting community. With a whole team behind her now, she remains passionate about illustration, obsessed with quality, and dedicated to her customers. A Day For Daisies thank you for your ideas, comments, and creativity!

Our grand prize winner will receive $12.00 Gift Voucher from
