Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2!!

Happy Wednesday!!  and... Happy New Year!!  Welcome to the new home of Sweet Sketch Wednesday "2"!!  First of all I owe a BIG THANK YOU to Arlana and Judi for the opportunity to continue the Sketch Challenge and for all the help answering my MANY questions.  Sweet Sketch Wednesday was one of the Challenge that I stumbled upon and began my card making...  I had always loved to Scrapbook and to Quilt and now, most recently I LOVE to create Sketches and make Cards (sorry Hallmark).  I love to Bless people with cards and get so much pleasure creating cards just for that special person.  I wish Arlana and Judi all the best and hope to see them join us as Guest Designers from time to time - they know they are always welcome!!

Most of you will know the members of the Design Team - I am so thankful that most of the DT are joining me in this new venture...  Jeannie, you will be missed, but I know we will meet often in the world of Blogs... A BIG THANKS to Nancy, Kathie, Linda, Heide, Sharon, Joanna and Holly (joining us later this month)... Here we go ladies!!


Our first Challenge is Sponsored by A Day for Daisies!!

A Day For Daisies began as a small token to a constant need to create. Pairing a love of whimsical illustration, with a tidy graphic design background, Tammy S Thompson, produced her first stamp designs, introducing irresistibly sweet stamps to crafters around the globe. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful world around us, she strives to express the happiness and gratitude she feels in each stamp design she creates.

Presently, A Day For Daisies has grown to over 3,000 Digital Stamps with a quickly expanding line of Best Loved Clear Polymer. A Day For Daisies has been published and awarded over the years for innovative and unique designs created to inspire the crafting community. With a whole team behind her now, she remains passionate about illustration, obsessed with quality, and dedicated to her customers. A Day For Daisies thanks you for your ideas, comments, and creativity!

The Winner of this week's Challenge will receive a $12 Gift Certificate to A Day for Daisies!!
