Black Friday Deals

Well, how many of you braved the Black Friday Deals? I was crazy enough to. But only went to a few places. Got some really fun scrapbooking  deals. I fell in love with my digi this week. The Black Friday Deals meant I had to get this adorable paper pack. I love the fun sweet colors of this pack and the images are small so it works perfectly for a card.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Di's Digi Downloads . Diane has created some SWEET digis for all your creative cards.  Be sure to go over and check out Di's Digi downloads. 

Our Grand Prize winner this week will receive a Gift Voucher valued at $10.  

Our winner can choose more than the dollar amount and pay the difference.

 

 So head on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and play along. Sweet creation by the design team.

I have created an easy SWEET sketch for you this week.

I hope all of these Christmas cards are helping to get you in the holiday spirit.  This is my favorite time of year.  Hope you come back and visit again next time. HUGS

Christmas Pj's

Every year my husband's parents have a a tradition to give all the grand kids pj's. I remember how much the kids loved that tradition. Now that they're older they still give everyone something that matches. This has always been such a fun tradition.

So when I saw this adorable image I knew it was the one I needed to do. Don't you just love how cute this image is? My inspiration can from a polka dot Dixie plate...Looks just like the pj bottoms. Our sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday  is Whimsey Doodle. We love Melyssa sweet images.

Candy Cane Christmas

Did you put Candy Cane's on your tree? I remembered my kids loved getting a Candy Cane from the tree. It was always such a delight for them. Well, this paper is the sweetest paper and it came from Hobby Lobby. I knew when I decided to do the penguin from Stamp Fairy I would use these papers.

While working on my card, it dawned on me that a candy cane would be so cute in the hands of the penguin. I don't know if you can tell or not but my penguin is glittered. It looks very cute in person. Not always does the picture do justice!

This week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday our sponsor is Stamp Fairy. Gerda designs the cutest digis. We love having her sponsor. Greda at Stamp Fairy is giving away 4 digis of winner’s choice. So why don't you come on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and make a card and follow along.

Caroling with the Birds

This week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday our sponsor is A Day for Daisies.

I just love Tammy's images. It's always so hard to pick just one to do. But I must say I loved this image the moment I saw it. I have a village that I put up at Christmas time and this reminded me of that. Tammy has so many fun winter images. Some of my design team have created with some of them and I think they look so stunning and real.

Tammy is giving away a $12 Gift Certificate to ADFD Shop. You will want to make sure you play along for such a sweet Prize.

Scaredy Cat

We have a black cat living outside in our yard. You only see him once in awhile. Not sure whose cat he really is. We have been wondering if it is a cat we had that ran away a long while ago. He never lets you see him long enough to tell.

Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo. Jodi always blows me away with her darling images. She creates new ones ever week. So sweet and so talented. We have been lucky to have her sponsor our challenge blog Sweet Sketch Wednesday alot in the past  2 1/2 years. Jodi is giving away 7 digis that value at $21 prize to her store.

It is so fun when you come across a inexspensive find. My embelishments came from Walmart. Can't wait to see if they have some Christmas ones coming out. The embellishments were only a dollar. So I decided why not use all the ones that matched. There were two left in the package. I really had a fun time with this card.

Well bug on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and check us out. My design team always has some adorable samples using my sketch. Be sure to come back next time. Have a sweet day!!!!

Christmas with Digi Stamp Boutique

How could anyone mess up that makes their own sketch. Well, I did it again this week.  I copied the sketch, looked at it and then colored my image. From there I had it in my mind that it was a rectangle. So I used the nesti and made it a rectangle. Then I went to cut all the other pieces and realized it was an oval. I did not want to redo my image as I had spent quite a bit of time coloring it in. So I came up with the idea of cutting it out. I did not have a big enough nesti so I used an old fiskars oval that I traced. It worked out well. Then I glued it to the kraft paper and free handed the cut around the kraft paper. All in all I was very pleased with how my card card turned out.

This week our sponsor is Digi Stamp Boutique. Wow,  has SallyAnn created some darling images for Christmas. I was just over there looking around and she has lots of new ones. I just loved this nativity set. There are more images to the set. Go take a look you won't be disappointed. SallyAnn is offering 6 free digis to our prize winner at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Also run check out Sweet Sketch Wednesday. You will love what the design team has created just for your enjoyment. I hope you play along. It's so fun to see all of the cards each week. Have a  SWEET week.
