Sweet Field Mice

What weather we have been having here in Utah! On Monday we got SNOW. You would think we would have summer soon. We went from 80 degrees to snow. How crazy is that!

This week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday we are being sponsored by Prairie Fairy Designs. Roberta has such darling designs to design cards with. I decided to do the darling mouse holding the basket of flowers. Now you would think after dealing with fields mice last fall it would not be one I would want to do. By hey, it was just too cute to pass up. I love how it turned out, Don't you? Make sure you go and check out Prairie Fairy Designs

Well don't forgot our anniversary blog hop is coming up really soon. You will want to make sure you join in the fun and prizes. Be sure to go check out this week's cards at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and play along.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Hope your day is filled with sunshine and not SNOW!!!

It's Party Time!!!

Are you ready for a party? It's always party time when I'm using Sally Ann's Digis from Digi Stamp Boutique. I just love her fun images and they're so much fun to create with. It always feels like a party when I am creating!!!

Digi Stamp Boutique is our sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. You will want to go over to the Digi Stamp Boutique and buy some of her digis so you can have your own party full of fun. Each of the design team has been having their own party creating cards with Sally Ann's images. We just love them and appreciate Sally Ann's continued monthly support.

We have a Anniversary Party for Sweet Sketch Wednesday coming up in about three weeks and I hope you will join us for our fun Anniversary Blog Hop. The Blog Hop is being sponsored by Digi Stamp Boutique.  Sweet Sketch Wednesday will be 1 year old. It's hard to believe I have created that many sketches and that it has been a year.

My Party Hearty card was inspired by this cute paper from Scenic Route. Don't you just love the fun colors. I had those color is my bedroom growing up as a teen. They were my favorite. Oh the fun memories. I hope you enjoyed viewing my blog today and I hope you leave me your sweet comments that you always do.  Now go out and have your own Party!!!!

Miss Bo Peep

I hope that all you Ladies and Mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day. To my surprise I had 24 rose delivered to my door Fed Ex by my son and daughter. Such a wonderful surprise. The roses were a mix of red, orange, pink and yellow.... all so very lovely. The prettiest one was the one that reminded me of my mom's favorite...a yellow rose with red and orange edges. I did a tribute to my wonderful mother last year on this blog post. It shows her favorite rose and shadow box. Check it out here.

Well, it's been almost a year now and we are gearing up for my one year anniversary blog hop. It has been such a pleasure getting to know some of my followers and players. We now have way over 200 followers at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It's been great and we're still rising. I hope you will mark your calendar and play along with us for some fun.

This week's sponsor is Pixie Dust Stuido. They are giving away two images of the winner's choice. They have such darling images. You will want to run over to their store and check them out. I knew when I saw Miss Bo Peep I had to do her. I had so much fun picking out the papers to match the pattern in the dress. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without my sewing. There are very few cards that I don't do sewing on. The design team at Sweet Sketch Wednesday has cooked up some darling cards using the sweet Pixie Dust Stuido images.

I will be spending my fun week with my sister, Judi, who is a delight to be with and do crafting with. Judi and Nancy have been such a wonderful support to me and my blog lately and I want to thank them for all of their continued help and support. Thanks to all my followers for all your continued support and for all your sweet comments. Have a wonderful sweet week.

Froggy in my Bug

I love making frogs and I have a VW bug....so with this week's sponsor for Sweet Sketch Wednesday being Bugaboo I knew I had to have this image. It fits so perfectly. I also had the perfect paper with the beach balls on it. So it just all came together and was such a fun card to make. Be sure to check us out at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and play along for the prize.

Bugaboo has such cute images and always has such a fun variety. You can find anything there that suits your fancy. I am so happy that Bugaboo keep sponsoring us. We love their fun images and hope that you will go and try them out.

Well we will be having a blog hop for our one year anniversary. I hope that you watch out for it. It will be coming up soon. Thanks for being a continued supporter and follower. Hope your day is filled with lots of sweetness.

A Perfect Day

Welcome to another week at my blog . This week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday we are being sponsored by Busy Beauties Boutique. They have such fun digis. You will want to go check them out. I used this sweet image of the boy and girl. They are sharing a bit of apple. I thought this was such a sweet image. I had lots of fun designing with this image. It was fun picking out my paper. Don't you just love how these colors turned out?

I bought this fun paper at the Scrapbook USA Expo. It came in a paper pack and my sister Judi and I split it in half. It has some of the cutest papers in it. I really love most of them. Can't wait to make more cards with this pack. The pack is from Scenic Route Paper Company.

I hope you will come on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and join us in our Sketch Challenge. Our prize for Busy Beauties Boutique is three free digis. I hope you enjoy creating with my sketch. I love making them to inspire you with your creativity. Have a berry sweet day and thanks for the sweet comments.

School Colors

Another week gone by and I am here to post my Sweet Sketch Wednesday post. Seems like by the time I do everything to make SSW run each week,  I never have time to post any other cards during the week. Sometimes I wonder how my design team does it all too. This week we have one of our very favorite sponsors Digi Stamp Boutique . Sally Ann has such fun images and comes out with new ones all the time. I want to thank Sally Ann for sponsoring us every month.  This month she had this darling cat in a graduation suit. I knew I had to do that  even though  we have a dog and not a cat.  It was just to adorable to not do.

Well  for us school is almost over and it's our last son's graduation from high school. His graduaton is a little over a month away. Yeppie we have almost made it!!!! Well he loves his school and the colors are Purple and White. He was on the football team and did very well at football and had lots of fun doing it. We are very proud of him and are so happy that he has worked hard to pull off graduation..

I needed to make him a special card  and I think this fits just perfectly. The graduation announcments are purple black and  silver. So I thought that doing purple and silver would be perfect. For my added embellishment I wanted to make a tassel and add that to the hat in some way. For the oval I sewed two ovals together with silver thread.  Then I scrunched up the white oval on the edge.

Well I loved how my card turned out and was happy that it all came together due to limited computer access. I want to make sure to thank all of my follwers on both blogs. It really means alot to me and I hope my design team  and I send you lots of inspriation each week. 

Red White and Blue

I have been very busy making 6 by 6 Layouts  with a recipe for a recipe club. My month was July. Heather from Fresh Brewed  has the cutest Hannah Bella Cooks. It was so perfect for my layouts.

So I decided for Sweet Sketch Wednesday I would chose that image for my card. That way it had a dual purpose. I had lots of fun using Heather's Sweet Hannah. Heather has so many cute images. You can find Heather's images here.

I wanted to make my layouts patriotic to represent the Fourth of July.   My Recipe is Red White and Blue Cobbler. It is made in the dutch oven and is oh so yummy. I'm sure you could use a regular pan. It's a must-try recipe.

My card was also made using the same papers. For some reason it seemed a little challenging for me. That's unusual for me . But finally it came together. 

Most of Hannah was paper pieced. Do you think I was glutten for punishment. It took me all day to cut out thirteen pieces. (Next time mayby I better think twice :)

Dotted paper was My Mind's Eye stamped with a Stampin Up star in Nights of Navy. Other papers were Die Cuts with a View, and Scenic Route.

Thanks for popping on over and checking out my creations. I hope your day is filled with Joy and Happiness. Hope you go over and check out Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
