Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch # 192 Sponsored by A Day For Daisies

Hi everyone and welcome!  It’s Kathie here from Auckland New Zealand posting this week for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 design team.  Well as most of my crafting friends from the Northern Hemisphere are starting to soak up those wonderful rays of sunshine, here in New Zealand is the start of winter, yes we're still having a few rays of sunshine once they shine through the early morning fog and this morning we had our second white frost for the year and it was a record temperature for May.  Usually it gets colder later in June and July.  Where we live the temperature drops but we don't get any snow in Auckland.

 For those of you visiting us for the first time, we welcome you to the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 sketch challenge!  We are so happy to have you join us!  And for those loyal followers of our weekly challenge, we welcome you back and thank you for your ongoing support!

  6. Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards last week, I really can't wait to see more of them this week especially looking very P for Purple. I just loved seeing all the PURPLE DT cards this week, everyone of them looking so different and totally beautiful. I can not wait to what what our wonderful creative followers get up to this week with the blast from the past sketch, but also new to some of our new followers, P is for PURPLE and of course how about A Day For Daisies image as well that to me would be P for Perfect and icing on the cake. Take care and happy crafting and I can't wait to see your wonderful creations this week.

  9. Fabulous sketch and loved the DT creations! Purple is my favorite color but I needed a pink card this time. I couldn't find where it said if the twist was optional or not so if it's not please feel free to remove my card. Thanks for the inspiration either way!
