Like a Deck of Cards...

Oh I'm just giddy over this card I'm sharing today. It's for the new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday with Bugaboo Stamps as our featured digi stamp company. I love the Stella & Gus characters and this one with the sentiment cracked me up. Read on to see the rest of the sentiment.

First let's start with the sketch to follow. This one is perfect for those larger images - particularly rubber stamps that can't be sized down to fit. It turns out great whether you use pattern papers or embossed cardstock.

Bugaboo Stamps is sponsoring our challenge this week. It's always fun to create with Jodi's images. The lucky grand prize winner of the challenge will receive 7 free digis from Bugaboo. Thanks, as always Jodi, for your generous sponsorship.

So this image from Bugaboo is called Stella & Gus Marriage Cards. It was colored with Copic markers and paired with the perfect papers from my stash offered years ago by Stampin' Up. I knew they'd come in handy one day!  It was a perfect sketch for this image that is wide.

And here is the rest of the sentiment for the card. Ha hah ha hah ha hah!  I can relate to this sentiment some days!

Now head on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and see the rest of the design team cards using Bugaboo Stamps - lots of variety being showcased this week and they are all spectacular!

Friends

Sending all my USA friends out there an early 4th of July greeting with this cute card in a variation of the old red, white and blue! This highlights the new sketch challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday with one of our favorite sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps.

Here's the sketch to follow for the challenge this week. I like layouts with room for a sentiment as this one has. It goes together nicely and I hope you'll have some crafting time this weekend to join us in the challenge.

Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps with a fabulously generous prize of seven free digis to the winner of the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge.

The image I chose from Bugaboo is Cute Puppy - a fairly new digi stamp in the Bugaboo store. This frolicky little pup with his friend was colored with Copic markers and the papers from Colorbok and distributed by a local Ann Arbor, Michigan company through Walmart stores.

There are some darling card examples of the sketch by the design team this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Hop on over there for some inspiration!

Bonnet Birdie

Isn't this the cutest birdie in her spring bonnet? This is for the new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday with Bugaboo Stamps as our sponsor.

Here's the sketch to follow - a really terrific one created by Sally. I absolutely love how the finished card looks with this layout.

We all love to create with Bugaboo Stamps! One lucky winner of the challenge will receive 7 free digis from Bugaboo - a fantastic prize.  Thanks for sponsoring us Jodi!

The fun Bugaboo digi I used on my card is called Flower Bird. It was colored with Copic markers along with stickles and a glitter gel pen to spice it up in spots. The papers are those same dollar bin samples I've used before. I should have picked up a bunch of them because I love the fun patterns and colors.

So that's it for now - it's taken forever to do this post with the Blogger problems I've had today. But don't let that stop you from popping over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday to see the design team cards created for your inspiration.

Sweet Little Mouse

Gosh I'm late in posting this and my apologies! A hectic work travel schedule and then off to Purdue to visit my son has kept me from my tasks on this blog. This is my inspiration card for the challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday - no worries there's still time to play along with us in the current challenge.

Here's the fun sketch for this week. This is a good one for the larger images you have.

A Valentine For Ewe

Now that the holidays are over, we turn our attention to the next occasion - Valentine's Day - in this card I made for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge. I have to admit it's fun pulling out the Valentines papers in my stash and all the fun images - especially this cute ewe from Bugaboo.

Here's the sketch this week. I think it's always fun to have a diamond shape as the focal panel - it really makes the image stand out.  I hope you'll give this one a try.

Jodi at Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor of the challenge this week. Who doesn't love the fun images that Jodi creates. The grand prize winner will receive 7 free digi stamps of their choice - a fabulous prize. Thanks Jodi for your generous sponsorship!

I love this funny looking lamb and the sentiment that is paired with it. It's called Happy Valentines to Ewe from Bugaboo.  The papers are eons old from my stash.

Santa is Going to Town!

Here's a fun Christmas card for you today. We're having some fun over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday with a new sketch and Bugaboo Stamps as our sponsor.

This is a great sketch for any kind of image. I think it would be especially pretty with a vintage look.

Jodie at Bugaboo Stamps is sponsoring our challenge at SSW2 this week. We always love to create with the images she creates. The grand prize winner will receive 7 free digi stamps from Bugaboo - an amazing prize.  You have to be in the challenge to win it so I hope you join us this week.

I chose this hysterical Gus character image from Bugaboo this week. I was in the mood for an irreverent Christmas card!  Old Gus was colored with Copic markers and the papers are Christmas Cheer by Echo Park.

Best Witches

Happy Wednesday friends. We move from coffee themes to Halloween this week in my inspiration for you and the new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  This week we're featuring the fun images from Bugaboo Stamps.

Here's the sketch to follow - another terrific one from our own Sally. I love this fresh new layout for its asymmetric characteristics but it still has balance.

Bugaboo is our sponsor this week and we all love the fun images and characters that Jodi draws up for our coloring pleasure!  The grand prize winner will receive seven free digis of their choice from the Bugaboo online shop.  Thanks for your generous sponsorship Jodi!

I chose this fun "Best Witches" image from Bugaboo because it fit the circle layout so well. I just sized it to fit within the star die I had from Spellbinders. It was colored with Copic markers and the papers are from my stash by Cosmo Cricket. I loved how the moon on the background paper becomes part of the sketch layout.

Now stop on by Sweet Sketch Wednesday for more inspiration and to see how you can play along with us in the challenge this week.
