December 2022 at SSW2

Welcome to our last challenge of 2022 here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

This challenge will run until the 10th of January to give you all a little extra time to create over the festive period.

This month we say farewell to our DT member Olga and would like to take this opportunity to thank Olga for all the inspiration and lovely comments she has given over the last couple of years.

Here are Olga's cards for this month.

Wishing you well in ll your adventures in the future.

We also have a guest designer this month, Marie who won one of our challenges earlier in the year, we always offer our winner a guest designer spot and Marie chose to design with us in December. She chose to use sketch 243 for both of her cards.

You are probably itching to see the sketches by now so before I share the rest of the DT inspiration here they are.

We'll be back with our first challenge of 2023 on the 4th of January and look forward to seeing you then. 2023 will be our 10th year of challenges here at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and we will start 2024 with our 10th birthday. We won't be carrying on with the optional twists in 2023 but will still be here with 2 sketches every month and plenty of DT and GDT inspiration.

A huge thank you to all of you who continue to support us, we look forward to seeing how you have interpreted the sketches.

Finally, we would like to wish all who celebrate a very Happy Christmas and we will be back on the 4th of January with more Sweet Sketches to inspire you with.

November's Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge

Hello and welcome to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. To our followers welcome back and anyone new please come and join us in our challenges.

I'm Kathie from New Zealand and I'm your hostess this month.

We have two new sketches every month for you to play with.

We have an optional twist this month which is

Vintage and or Birthdays

As I celebrate my birthday in November and feel somewhat Vintage at times please remember the twist is optional you do not have to use it as you might be busy making Christmas cards and please join us using our sketches.

Of course, you can also rotate and/or flip the sketch - but we should still be able to recognize the sketch.

Don't forget it's a countdown now to

Christmas 53 days to go.
