HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY AND SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 2 and FAREWELL A DAY FOR DAISIES

A Decade In the Making.

This week Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and former Sweet Sketch Wednesday are celebrating our 10th Anniversary for being in Blogland.

We congratulate Arlana Patten who started

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Arlana encouraged both her sisters to join her and the first posting was on 9th June 2009.  Arlana, Nancy and Judi stepped down from Sweet Sketch Wednesday in December 2013 and on the 1st January 2014 Sweet Sketch Wednesday became 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 which Sally Dube took over the running, later when Sally got busy with her family and grandchildren she also stepped down and our lovely 

Anne Puddicombe took over the running of  SSW2 which you all know and love today and I became the master of sketches and I'm celebrating 9 years with SSW and SSW2 this month.

Here are Arlana's and Nancy's cards they made for that first posting on 9th June 2009 which was a Tuesday.

A few weeks ago I sent out an email asking our lovely threesome to join us in the 10th Anniversary Celebrations, so today you'll see the work of two of the three sisters.  Unfortunately, Arlana is unable to join us as her and her husband are shifting house and Arlana extensive craft room was all packed up and ready for the shift.  I know Arlana will be thinking of us all today and we'll be in her thoughts. 

Firstly I would like to announce the winner and our Top 3 from last fortnight.

So this fortnight we decided to make our Anniversary celebrations run for a month giving everyone from the past and the present to join in and we've decided to use the first original sketch ever used over at

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday. 

Sketch #1

Our Sponsor is 

A Day for Daisies

It saddens me to read on Facebook that Tammy is closing down 

A Day for Daisies

 after 10 years at using her wonderful images which I know we'll all miss.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tammy for being our ongoing sponsor over the years which we've all appreciated and we wish her well in her new artistic adventure.

So this is our last chance to celebrate ADFD wonderful images as well.

We'll also have a lovely selection of images for you as a prize this month.

So before she closes don't forget to pop over and grab those last minute purchases.

Sketch 160

Hello everyone and welcome to

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

If you're new to SSW2 a very large warm welcome and if you're one of our regular returning friends thank you so much for coming back and visiting us.

It's Kathie here this fortnight from an autumn's day here in New Zealand.  Autumn has really set in now as the temperatures have dropped in the evenings and I can feel the cooler air at night.  We've also had the much-needed rain that we were all wanting now I've had enough.  

Now onto last fortnights winner for 

Sketch 159

It's Lisa Lynn

I love this wonderful brightly coloured card it's so cheerful and feels like summer.

Lisa, please email Anne

 anne_ssw2@aol.co.uk

to claim your prize.

Now onto this fortnights sketch

Sketch #160

I do hope you like it and I'm looking forward to seeing all your creations.

This fortnight we are unsponsored, unfortunately so if you are a sponsor looking at our site or know of sponsors that would like to sponsor SSW2 we would be very grateful as we are finding more and more sponsors are turning away from giving away free images, as prizes and the design team members.  

So because we don't have a sponsor doesn't mean you can't enter.

Personally, as a designer, I would rather have the recognition

of being worthy of a Top 3 than claiming a prize. 

Now it on with the show checking out what our fabulous 

design team have created just for you.

Anne

Such a pretty feminine card.

Kelly

Love this wishing well Kelly and how you've turned this sketch works perfectly.

Kathie

My card using this super cute Mice from Di's Digi Images

AJ

AJ also turned the sketch to fit her image perfectly.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creation in the next fortnight wishing everyone happy crafting.

Sketch 159 with Bugaboo!!

Hello and happy May Day to you all.

As I typed that greeting whilst wondering where the last 4 months have gone, I was transported back to infant school where I had so hoped to be chosen to dance around the maypole on May Day but ended up Morris Dancing. All of us girls wore gathered skirts with Ric Rac trim, I remember mine was bright orange, and the school were still using them 20 years later when my friend's daughter attended.

Anyway onto our winners from the last challenge. We had some gorgeous entries and really enjoyed visiting your blogs but unfortunately, there can only be one winner and the winner of the stamp set is 

Margreet with this card

Please, email me with your postal address and I will get your prize off to you.

Now onto this weeks sketch which is another interesting one for you. I so look forward to seeing what you create with it.

Here is what the fabulous DT have created.

AJ

Anne

Kathie

and

Kelly

We also have a guest designer this week, it's Teresa with this lovely card

Thank you for guesting with us Teresa.

I think that our design team have provided some fantastic inspiration so now it's over to you. You could win 4 images from our wonderful sponsor.
