Bio:  Pattie Gomez

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.

I have added many other images to my store in the past few years. I know have a large selection of images to fit everyone’s needs.

It's Wednesday the middle of the week which means it's

 This sketch is just so easy and looks great.

Here's my card using our sponsors image, I love Hedgehogs and Ladybugs so I just had to have this very cute image from Bugaboo Stamps.

Well as you can tell by now our wonderful sponsor this week is Jodie Mackrell the owner of Bugaboo Stamps.

 Bio:

Bugaboo Stamps has become one of the leading companies in digital images. From seiously 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.

Sunbathing Granny

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday.  This week has been great I have my two boys home on a school break, not so good for them as it hasn't stopped raining.  Today is the first fine day we've had since they've been home.  We are now at the start of Spring but on Monday evening it turned bitterly cold and was snowing in both the North & South Island mountain ranges and today's a lovely sunny day.

Congratulations to our winner and top 3 from last week great work everyone.  Because it's the last Wednesday of the month week means we have a blast from the past with a twist.

Sketch #234

Blast from the past sketch.

The twist this month is 

 Incorporate something to do with Coffee, be it the digi, the colour...  the sentiment...  Think Coffee!! 

This week I rotated the sketch something I don't usually do, but I loved this image and by rotating the sketch it worked perfectly.

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday.

We're half way through September already where has this month gone?  It only feels like yesterday that it was Christmas and now another Christmas is just around the corner about 98 days to go.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments this week and welcome to my new follower Darcy Schroeder.

Today is Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, congratulations to our winner last week and to our Top 3 cards well done everyone.

 This week Sally has another great sketch to work with and again it's very quick and easy and looks great finished.

Today I thought I would share a piece of Cross Stitch that I've been working on and had it framed last week.  As you can see it's a Christmas piece and looks stunning finished I'm so happy with it and it was stitched on cream linen  which was an 18 count cloth.  I'm currently working on another Christmas piece that being stitched on cream 14 count Aida Cloth.    I also have another piece at the picture framers at present so I'll also share that with you once I get it back.
