SSW160 and Bugaboo

Good morning and welcome to my blog.
We have a fantastic sponsor this week at
 SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY,  
Jody
from
BUGABOO
Jodi has this never ending imagination and creativity. It is so fun to see what she has created from week to week.  And, I have to stop by every friday to pick up her adorable freebie.  You don't want to miss out on that.

It is with sadness, that we say goodbye to two of our DT member's on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Design Team.
Patti and Geneveive are stepping down from our team.  They will both be greatly missed.  I hope you will stop by and give them a little love. 

Erika, has joined us back for the summer while she is on break from teaching school.  Erika was on the DT last summer.  I am sure you remember her.  It is great to have you on board, Erika.

Now for the Bugaboo party:

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary 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 stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Judi beat me to the draw on getting these adorable Origami cards posted for Father's Day.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 157 and Saturated Canary

One night after work, I got a call from Judi and Arlana. They told me they had just the right image for me to use the next time SATURATED CANARY was our sponsor.  They were so right.  We had such a good time reminiscing about growning up and our adventures in High School and such.  My first year in High School was at a brand new school.  We were called the "Viewmont Vikings".  Art was my favorite class and we had a contest that year to submit a drawing for the school emblem.  My drawing won.  I was so honored and excited that my drawing was picked. 
The school emblem was later designed into the floor of the entry way at our school.   Judi and Arlana thought it was very fitting that I use the image:
"Vickie The Viking".  It is such a cute image and has brought back so many fun memories of High School.......Go Vikings!!!!!

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!:)


OUR GRAND PRIZE WINNER THIS WEEK WILL RECEIVE
