 Our sponsor this week is the one and only Bugaboo Stamps. Owner and artist Jodi is offering our winner 7 free images!!! Now that's one fabulous prize!
Here's a little bit about Jodi and Bugaboo Stamps:

  "Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps:  As if raising 5 children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the work of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. Bugaboo Stamps has become one of the leading companies in digital images. From seiously snarky to sugar sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!!  If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampilicious.  And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for the weekly Challenges at Catch the Bug."

And now I get to share with you the fabulous creations of our very talented Design Team. Please take a moment and visit their blogs and give 'em a little love!!

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.

 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!

Tammy is offering our very lucky winner
