Sweet Sketch Wednesday 110-32 & Stamp Fairy

We have a wonderful sketch this week for SSW110-32.  The 32 means it was sketch #32 in the past and we are using it again. Our wonderful sponsor Gerda is from STAMP FAIRY. Take a look....isn't this a wonderful sketch. It was so fun to work with.  I love the fact that Arlana is bringing back some of the sketches from the past to use again.
The GRAND PRIZE WINNER will receive (4) four digis of their choice.



I decided to make a couple of Birthday cards for my grandson's this week.  I was happy with how they turned out.  I used one of the circle sentiments and used it for the focal point of my card.  I made my own little balloons and added the twine.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday109 & Meljens Designs

Here we are in July...can you believe the year is half over.  I sure hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. We are so grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy.  I spent the evening with my family.  My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have an amazing view of the fire works that are on display at one of our public parks on the 4th of July. We watch them right from their balcony.  We always have a BBQ with our families and then watch the fire works together.  It is very fun, safe way to celebrate the 4th.  I look forward to it every year.

Welcome to my blog. I hope you will stay awhile and enjoy the cards that I have created for our challenge this week over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Our Design team has some super cute cards to share with you this week.  You won't to miss them.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 107 & Amber Inks

Hello, Sweet Sketch Wednesday followers.  I want to wish you a warm welcome today.
Our sponsor this week is AMBER INKS



http://amberink.com/


Amber Inks is offering our GRAND PRIZE WINNER  a $15.00 Gift Certificate
How awesome is that!!!
Here is Arlana's sketch


I just had to use this image.  My daughter sell Miche Bags. If you have ever seen them, they are amazing.  They have three different size purses.  (The Big Bag, the Classic and the Mini).  Of course, I have to have the Big Bag.  The neat thing about them is that you have a base bag and then you have the shell that covers the base and you can change the look of your bag every day if you want.  They are the most amazing bag I have ever had.  So, I no longer have to pull everything out of my bag when I want a new purse.  You pull the base out and put the new shell on.  The sentiment on my card says it all......"But, I need it".  I have seven shells for my big bag.  I also have the Classic bag with four shells.  I know.....you would think I am spoiled.  But, they are just so much fun.  I have never been so excited about a purse. 
If you would like to take a look at them, you can visit my daughters website at:

http://www.my.michebag.com/elisa_ivanich





If you are interested, you can purchase them right on her site as well.
Have fun looking......I promise you, you will be hooked.

And, here is my card for today.

Father's Day is just around the corner and so
I wanted to create a card for my Father-in-law.  I ended up sending him the first one here.  He has given me so much support this past year and has been an inspiration to me throughout my married life.  I truely admire and respect him.  He has been a wonderful father and example to all six of his children, their wives or husbands and his grand children.  I want him to know how much he is loved by all of us.
I also want to pay tribute to my wonderful father who passed away a few months back.  He too, was a wonderful father and example to his family. I love and miss him dearly. 
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 104 & TIDDLYINKS

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I ended up having to work on Monday even though it was a holiday.  I guess that is the way it goes when you have a set schedule and things have to be done on time. 
I sure hope that Blogger will be up and running like it should be this week.  It has been very difficult to comment and sometimes even upload our cards.  I know that blogger is working on the problem.  If you have another search engine on your computer, such as Safari or Google Crome you should be able to comment.  I have been using Safari all week.  If you have Foxfire and Internet Explorer, it is still not working. 

We sure have a fun sponsor this week.
Our sponsor is: Christy Croll from TIDDLYINKS.
Our grand PRIZE winner will receive a $10.00 Gift Certificate.
