MARCH SKETCHES #273 AND #274

Well hello and welcome, 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 fans!!! 

It's Kathie from New Zealand, and I'm in charge of creating March's post for you.   I have another 2 new sketches and one retro sketch out of the archives.  You can enter up to 3 projects per month so why not try out all three of our sketches we would love to see your entries.

Thank you to everyone who entered our February Challenge.  We visited so many lovely cards on your sites and now we'll be choosing our winners. On the 20th of March, a post will be created announcing our winner and the Top 3 cards and it will also be announced on Facebook here.

Here are the sketches for March.

Sketch #273

Sketch #274

Sketch #273 is a little different for us this month it's not a square.
Remember these sketches can be flipped and or turned it's entirely up to you as long as we can see the original sketch in your card. 

Now it's on with the show and the lineup of cards handmade by our lovely design team.

And now for our retro blast from the past sketch this month which you can create with.  That gives you the option of one or all three cards to create.

from 7th August 2019


This beautiful card was made by Anne


And another cheeky Bugaboo card made by me.


Don't forget you can check us out on


And for one of our participants, there is a little surprise and a place as a guest designer to win.  So it's worth playing along with us!!!

February Sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Hello and welcome back dear crafty friends,

 I'm Doris - known as Kleido - and this month I'm your hostess.

Every month we have 2 amazing sketches for you, designed by Kathie, which you can also rotate and/or flip - but we should still be able to recognize them.

If you still need more inspiration we have a sketch from our archives too.

We hope we inspire you a little with our work and look forward to your numerous participation.

Sketch #272



And these fantastic inspirations were created by our design team.

News from SSW2


Hello friends and followers it's Anne here with a little update from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Starting from this month there will be an extra sketch each month for you to choose from.
This will be a sketch from our archives, so if the new sketches don't work for what you need, you might like the retro.

Entries will still be limited to 3 per person.

We will be keeping the challenge open for a little longer, it will now stay open until 11.55pm on the evening before the next challenge is launched so a few hours longer to add a card if needed.

We will share our winners on the 3rd Wednesday of each month along with some more inspiration and a reminder of the current month's sketches.
We hope that this will draw better attention to the winners.
Our winners will have the chance to guest design with us and a small prize will be sent.

We also have our Facebook page for you to follow us and see what's new and coming up each month.




Doris will be here with the new sketches very soon.......... or if you want to get a head start.


Happy Crafting!

Anne and the SSW2 DT

Kathie




 Kelly is having a well-earned break this month.
Kathie has been busy behind the scenes preparing the sketches for 2024 so they are all ready and waiting for you. As the months progress you will notice something different about some of the sketches and we hope you enjoy the changes.

We hope you can find the time at this busy time of year to play with us.
This challenge will last a little longer than usual to give a little more time and will close on the 6th of January at 9.00pm UK time. Our first challenge of 2024 will begin on the 3rd of January so there will be a slight overlap but I wanted to give as many of you as possible a chance to take part in this one.

All that remains is for me to wish all of you who celebrate a very Happy Christmas and all the very best for the coming year.

Anne and the SSW2 Design Team
