FLOWER TEACUP

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  I'm late posting my card because I went away for a few nights and forgot my laptop.

This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, I have two new sketches for you as well as a retro sketch from the past.

Today I'm presenting one of the sketches.

Sketch #303

This sketch is very easy, and I love how my card turned out using the design paper and image I chose to use.

 

A quick peek at the inside of the card.

TULIPS & BUGS

 Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  Today is another Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge, and we have two new sketches and one retro sketch.

Today, I'm showcasing 

Sketch #301

This is another very easy sketch, and it's a good way to use up some of those scrap design papers and card stock we all have.

If you want to see the other sketch, I'll showcase it around the 16th of April, when last month's winners are announced.  Other wise drop over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, and see what the design team have created.  You'll see Sketch # 300 as well as the retro sketch a blast from the past that Kelly decided to use.

Flower Birdie

Good morning and welcome to my blog on this beautiful spring morning.  Another stunning day in paradise.

Here is my second card made for

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

again using a Bugaboo image

and this time would have to be one of my very favourites

Flower Birdie using

Sketch # 215

This is an easy sketch, and if you don't have a Hexagon die it isn't hard to cut a hexagon yourself.

Here are a couple my views of my card. 

 

You may have noticed that we have all created with Bugaboo images this month. The Bugaboo shop is closed and we would like to thank Jodie and all the design team at Bugaboo for their support of Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and our previous incarnation Sweet Sketch Wednesday through the years.

Our winner this month will choose 4 images from the ones we have used as their prize.

Don't forget to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and send them a little love.
