Anniversary Post Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #108

 JJT and S Tequila

My Best Friend's Birthday Card she can't drink more than two wines.

This was for an order for a lady and her birthday is today.

Well what a Wednesday, I don't think blogger loves me any more.  It's taken me about 5 hours to try and post this weeks posting over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and I hadn't even thought of this posting for my own blog.

Well today is my Anniversary with Sweet Sketch Wednesday, a year ago today I posted my first card  as a Design Team member thanks for a wonderful year girls it's been so much fun.

As I told you last week I was going to SENDZ to have a look around,  there was so much to see by the time I got round to all the stands it was nearly time to go home.  So I quickly went back to some stands I liked and made a few purchases of design papers as they were so cheap and I also bought some more Nestabilities which were a lot cheaper than I had been purchasing them for and I also bought some lovely flowers and Roses and a new guillotine.  So you'll see some of my new purchases in months to come.

Congratulations to all our winners this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday again there were so many amazing cards.

Strawberry Fields For Ever

"Strawberries one of my very favourite fruits"

I do think it's their smell it's just so beautiful

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday.  It's so warm here today that I've noticed our Spring Bulds coming through, it's Autumn here and we haven't had winter yet!!!

  Wednesday can only mean one thing it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and we're counting down now to the big century #100.

On the 4th May 2011 Sweet Sketch Wednesday will be celebrating our 100th sketch.  Each sketch has been designed by our own very talented Arlana Patten so I do hope you can join us to celebrate the occasion .

This week we have another wonderful sketch to work with sketch #97 and our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps.  I picked Strawberries not only are they my favourite fruit, I adore the smell and I couldn't resist colouring these images.  I think they turned out lovely and my son said "Mum they look good enough to eat"  he thought I had mounted a photo on my card.  That was such a lovely complement from a 9 year old boy.

Sketch #97

"With Love" Sweet Sketch Wednesday #68

"With Love"
Good morning its another Sweet Sweet Wednesday and we all know what that means we have another weekly challenge for you at Sweet Sketch Wednesday this week.
Well I can't say it's such a sweet month of September here in New Zealand they call it the Spring Equinox well this is the first time in my life that September has been so changeable. With Earthquakes, Snow, more Earthquakes, more Snow, Sunshine, Flooding and now Storms and very high winds, I'm so glad that we are only getting the storm where we live. It's meant to be spring the daffodil's are out and they baby lambs a being born and its been so cold in the South Island its snowing and the lambs are dieing. I'm so glad we are off to Australia on the 1st of October its very hot over there and I'm looking forward to some warmer weather.
