Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #149

 Digi Doodle Shop

Good evening followers this posting was meant to be scheduled and due to be posted at 12.01 am on Wednesday morning.  I completed my posting last week and scheduled it for 11th April 2012 before going to our beach house for an Easter break and extended holiday with my family.  Just before it was due to be posted Wednesday evening New Zealand time I realised I had a spelling error in my post so decided to edit it and I don't know what I did but I edited all the contents to blog land and all that posted was my title.  I did this from my iPhone as I was still up at the beach house, I was completely gutted, I then thought I would try to edit last weeks post and see what would happen to that YES I lost all the contents of that as well into blog land.  By then I wanted to pull my hair out.  As it had started to rain I told the boys we were packing up and coming home where my reliable computer was sitting.  

I apologise for this posting not being on my site when it should have been.  So now I know from experience don't even try to edit from your iPhone BIG MISTAKE.

It's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and congratulation's to last weeks winners, I commented on so many beautiful cards you all surprise me every week with your amazing creations.

Arlana has another amazing sketch and I just adore this one as it really shows off our amazing images and our wonderful design papers.

Sketch # 149

Isn't this image just beautiful it's called

Digi Doodle Shop

A Note from Judy and Joy

Digi Doodle Shop

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

 It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations.  We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

  
Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.
  

Sincerely,

Judy and Joy

Strawberry Fields For Ever

"Strawberries one of my very favourite fruits"

I do think it's their smell it's just so beautiful

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday.  It's so warm here today that I've noticed our Spring Bulds coming through, it's Autumn here and we haven't had winter yet!!!

  Wednesday can only mean one thing it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and we're counting down now to the big century #100.

On the 4th May 2011 Sweet Sketch Wednesday will be celebrating our 100th sketch.  Each sketch has been designed by our own very talented Arlana Patten so I do hope you can join us to celebrate the occasion .

This week we have another wonderful sketch to work with sketch #97 and our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps.  I picked Strawberries not only are they my favourite fruit, I adore the smell and I couldn't resist colouring these images.  I think they turned out lovely and my son said "Mum they look good enough to eat"  he thought I had mounted a photo on my card.  That was such a lovely complement from a 9 year old boy.

Sketch #97

This week the Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team were lucky enough to work with our sponsors images from

Clear Dollar Stamps

 Lori from Clear Dollar Stamps is offering our very lucky winner
