SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 95 AND STAMP FAIRY

Hi everyone, it is that time again.  I just love having Wednesdays roll around. 

It has been an interesting week.  I walk every morning before work and Monday I came back to the car and realized I had left my keys in my locked car.
I got a nice little break from work as I had to wait over an hour for the locksmith to come. My friend and I sat on the park bench and soaked up the  sun. It was a nice morning to sit and take a break.  I actually enjoyed every minute of it.
So, here it is Wednesday and it is

"SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY"
time.
Arlana has drawn up a darling sketch for us to use this week. I love working with all the layers.  
 Our sponsor is GERDA from
STAMP FAIRY
The Grand Prize winner of this weeks challenge will receive: four (4) digis of the winners choice.
The images are so darling you will have a hard time just choosing just four. I hope you will join in the fun. We really enjoy seeing your creations and receive so much inspiration from your cards. So, please hop on over and check out our amazing Design Team's cards.  They are fabulous this week.

Gift Boxes

SCROLL DOWN FOR SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY POST

I have been wanting to show you the gift boxes that I made.  I showed Arlana how to make them while I was in Salt Lake and also made one for Judi. 

I got this idea from a dear blog buddy "Terry O" who got the idea from one of her blog friends.  You can find her link on how to make them here.  I just loved it and had to make some up.

The first box is the one I made for Judi and the second one is one I made at home. I hope you enjoy my little creation.

The second box actually has a card on top.  You open it up at the bow to put a message inside.

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 91 AND DI'S DIGI DOWNLOADS

I had quit the day yesterday.  I had to start using a new web based billing program at work.  Instead of the billing taking a half a day to process, it took me from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm last night to finish it.  I am so unimpressed with the improvements this web based company has made to make things easier for our company.  Enough of that...I can't deal with it any longer tonight.  I am just praying now that it actually processed without any errors. Time will only tell.

Well, it is that time again.  I must say that it is the one thing that makes my day!
It is SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY time!!!
I really had a lot of fun creating my card this week with this fun sketch.  I really think it will be one that you will enjoy using too.  You won't be disappointed in the DT creations this week either.  They are fantastic.  So, hop on over and join us.  We would love to see your creations.

Our sponsor this week is
 DI'S DIGI DOWNLOADS. 

Diane is offering (5) five digis to our grand prize winner this week. 

I fell in love with this image.  Di has some really fun images and backgrounds to work with.  You will have a very difficult time choosing "just one" from her collection.   

This is the "Western Background" with the "Indian Girl and Cowboy"

Hi everyone.  I just had a wonderful five days with Arlana.  We shopped for three of the days and crafted in Arlana's craft room the rest of the time. 

Arlana's DH is really into Dutch Oven cooking and so when I am there with Arlana I get to try out some wonderful dishes. There is something new and yummy everytime I visit.  They are probably some of the best meals I have all year. I know that Arlana will be posting more about their Dutch Oven cooking on her other blog at Sweet Things handmade. 

 You can find that link on my side bar. Arlana is also offering really fun kits to buy on her blog with some really fun projects.  I hope you will stop over and check it out.
