Wow  it is another Wednesday here again, tell me where did the last one get too?  This week has gone so quickly.  I have one son on a 3 week holiday break and the other starts on Friday.   So I have both the boys home for their break.  The weather here is getting warmer so we might spend a few days at our Beach House as long as it's not raining.  

Because it's Wednesday it means it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Arlana has another new sketch for you to work with.  Congratulations to our winners this week there were some really lovely cards.

Sketch #122

Is it a square or is it a rectangle???

Arlana is leaving that one for you to decide this week.

We have a new sponsor this week it's

Krista Smith from
Saturated Canary Digi's 

My name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!). And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)


Krista is offering our lucky winner

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #121

Sleepy Time Bear

Good morning to a wonderful warm Wednesday morning from New Zealand.  Well Spring is really here the warm weather is upon us, we've started daylight savings so our evenings are longer so that's all positive.  On  the negative side we are still getting the spring rain and our evenings and mornings are still very crisp and fresh.

Our New Zealand All Blacks haven't lost a game and hopefully won't loose a game in the Rugby World Cup. It's lovely having so many special visitors to New Zealand and the atmosphere is electrifying a real buzz especially when Ireland beat Australia in one of the pool games.  The All Blacks beat France last Saturday night which was one amazing game to watch.  England, Canada, and the American team are all doing well in their Pools.  I can't wait for the quarter, semi and the final hopefully our All Blacks will be in that final.

Today is Wednesday and that means it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3, awesome work and there is just so much creativity our there it's amazing.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #118-49

Congratulations On Your Engagement

Two Hearts Beat As One

Good morning everyone, it's count down here in New Zealand and it's only two days to go until the opening of the Rugby World Cup being held in the main cities in New Zealand.

It's 23 years ago that it was here last and that New Zealand won the cup.  We have one of the best Rugby teams in the world the Might 'ALL BLACKS'  and we haven't won the cup since so they have every advantage this year as they are the home team and have the home crowd to back them,  so hopefully the World Cup will be ours again by the end of October as it only happens every 4 years.

  My boys can't wait.

GO THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS

Today is Wednesday and that's got to mean two things it's the middle of the week and it's

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3, wow what a job having to choose from all those wonderful entries as there were so many amazing cards and such talented ladies.  I was absolutely stunned with everyone's creativity.
