Sweet Sketch Wednesday 102-43 & Digi Stamp Boutique

Good morning Sweet Sketch Wednesday followers.  It is that time again.  I must say that Wednesdays really roll around fast these days. 
I don't know if you noticed our sketch number at the top.  It reads "102-43" We have decided that once a month we will be highlighting a sketch from the past. The "43" represents that it is sketch #43 that we have used in the past. This way we will be able to use some of our wonderful old sketches.
Our sponsor this week is our monthly sponsor:
Digi Stamp Boutique 
 Sally Ann has been so gracious these past few years.  We really appreciate her support.
This week Sally Ann is offering our GRAND PRIZE WINNER 6 digi images.

Here is Arlana's wonderful sketch.  Be sure to stop by our DT blogs.  They have some wonderful creations this week.



 I have used the image:  "Henry and Zoe Get Wed"
I am not sure what prompted me to use pastel blues and pink for a wedding card.  But, here it is.

Recipe:

Our sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday is:



SASSY CHERYL'S
Cheryl is offering our Grand prize winner a $5.00 Gift Certificate.




I used the image "April Umbrella" 

I used Stampin Up paper and paper from my stash.  Sometimes, you have so much paper that you can't remember who it is from.  I added some black rhinestones to accent the white satin ribbon.

I used "Smooch Spritz" on the flower.  It gives it a nice sparkly finish but is quit expensive to use.  Arlana and I couldn't believe that it didn't go very far when we used it. I am not sure it is worth the money you have to spend on buying it. 
I finished my card using the Deckled Nestiblities and glossy accents.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Clear Dollar Stamps

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY

Our wonderful and generous sponsor this week is Lori from

CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS

You won't believe what the GRAND PRIZE winner will receive this week.

The grand prize winner will receive a $25.00 gift certificate. Wow!!!

How amazing is that.

So, hurry on over and join in the fun.  Our Design Team have created some amazing cards this week and you won't want to miss out on seeing them. 

I just have to tell you the reason I picked the image I did for my first card.  I has brought back so many wonderful memories of when I was growing up.

When Arlana, Judi and I were growing up, we lived on a farm.  Our father raised everything imagineable, from every kind of animal to all kinds of birds.  My favorite time of the year was in the spring and summer months when dad would put the eggs in the incubator and we would wait for the eggs to hatch so that he could sell them.  I remember that we could hardly wait for the day to arrive for the first one to start hatching.  We would watch ever day to see their progress.  It was a wonderful experience to watch.  We had baby chicks, gosslings, and ducklings. And, a whole lot more....I raised a baby goose one spring (named Friskie) and it followed me everywhere.  However, I could say that about any of the little ones because they all thought we were their mother.  We would get down on all fours and wonder around the yard with them following behind us.  I will never forget when Arlana was about two and she decided that she wanted some lunch or something and took a bit out of Friskies webbed foot.  Friskie had a hole in his foot from then on.  When he was an adult goose, I could always tell which one he was because of that.  This image of the ducklings reminds me of my youth and I just couldn't resist coloring it up.  The ducks look just like the ones we raised. I used the quilled flower because I could just see the ducks reaching down and nibbling on it. They would nibble at the grass for hours.  These are just a few of my fond memories of my youth.

SSW96 and Digi Stamp Characters

Wow, I think I might make it this week.  I just got done with the main part of the billing for my real job and it is 10 pm at night.  I started it at 9 am this morning.....one really long day.  Tomorrow, payroll and Insurance billing.  I think I will be really glad when I have this week behind me.  The first week of the month is always the hardest.

Thanks to Judi and Arlana for taking care of some of my SSW responsibilities Tuesday night.
