SSW2- Sketch 92- Dearie Dolls.

Hi there friends!!  Welcome to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  It is Heide here welcoming you from Michigan.  I speak for the whole Team when I say I am SO HAPPY to have you join us this week. Our wonderfully talented sponsor is Mary Ellen with Dearie Dolls. Below is a little something about Mary Ellen and her store Dearie Dolls. 

If you are new to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 a BIG welcome to you.  We are excited to have you play along with us and love to see all the wonderful creations each week!!  

Without further ado, I want to introduce you to Dearie Dolls:

                                                  

Mary Ellen's Dearie Digis are inspired by the wooden dolls she and her husband Kip made together for 25 years. She likes to tell a little story with each illustration. Some of her favorite subjects are snowmen and children.

Most of Mary Ellen's images are free to use.  They are so delightful and you could spend hours looking through the images that she has on her blog.  She has colored and uncolored images to choose from.

Mary Ellen also has a Etsy shop - Dearie Dolls by me where she has some very cute images for sale be sure to stop and take a peek.

90 Sketches!! and a little bit of Sunshine

Hello and welcome to our latest sketch challenge for you. 

It's Anne here from Yorkshire in the North of England as your hostess this week. It's bluebell time here at the moment so I thought that I would share a picture of some of this pretty woodland flower with you.

Before I reveal this week's sketch, we'd like to announce our winner of the prize from Sketch 89 with Bugaboo challenge.  Drum-roll for the Grand Prize Winner please....Congratulations, it's you

Crafters - no Top Three this week!!  We announce Top Three when our entries exceed 15...  so, spread the word and keep that Mojo flowing!!

This week our sponsor is Heather Valentin.  She is a creative, award winning,  modern-day  fantasy and  whimsical  artist who has displayed a dynamic and vibrant energy while painting professionally for over 18 years.  She  began to express herself creatively through movement at a very young age.

For many years she studied dance, being drawn to forms that allowed creative self expression, all the while feeling this constant urge to create with her hands. The canvas is now her dance floor where colour, beauty and drama are expressed through her every pencil sketch and  brush stroke. Her  subjects vary from fairies, fantasy, mermaids, vampires, dragons, wildlife, abstract and more ...

Lacy Sunshine Stamps

Our very lucky winner will receive

Well done!  Congratulations.  You guys should also grab your badge from our sidebar for your blog. 

Now, on to this week’s challenge... This week we welcome back Jodie and Bugaboo Stamps (insert giggles and hand clapping)

I think I can speak for the entire design team when I say that we all love to create with her wonderful and whimsical digital stamps.  No matter your personal style, you can find it over at Bugaboo.

Our grand prize winner will receive 7 free digi images from Bugaboo – a fantastic and generous prize.

Here is a bit of information about Jodie and 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.

Bugaboo Store: www.bugaboostamps.com

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch # 87 with A Day For Daisies

Good morning everyone and welcome Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

It's Kathie here from New Zealand and I'm your presenter this week of our new sketch.

Well as most of you know I live in the beautiful southern hemisphere, and sometimes we really don't know how lucky we are when it comes to the weather.   Since our return from England and Europe in January, 99.9% of our meals we have are dining alfresco and making the most of our Summer and Autumn weather today the temperature was 21 celsius not bad for an Autumn morning.

Let's get on with our sketch and last week's winner and Top 3

The winner.....

#12. Nicolette

  

Please e mail Sally at sallydubessw@gmail.com to claim your prize
