SSW2: Twisted Dilly Beans

Welcome back Crafty peeps!  It's Joanna, from cool (and a tad rainy) Colorado.  I'll be your hostess and guide this week.  We are soo glad that you are back.  I hope that you are ready for some fun!

Before we get started with this week's Sketch, I am happy to announce last week's Winner ... 

#17. Lisa Lynn

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

Here, in no particular order, is the list of our TOP THREE favorite cards from last week's challenge...

#2. Janette
#5. Carol Dee
#7. Yola


A great big HOORAY goes out to you three!!   You guys should also grab your badge from our sidebar for your blog.  We are so lucky to have such great artists stop by and participate each week.  Selecting favorites is always difficult because we have gorgeous work posted!

Since this is the last challenge of the month, in addition to our sketch, we have a twist for you, just to shake things up a bit. This week our TWIST is that you must have sewing on your card to qualify for the prize drawing. It's up to you whether your sewing is real or faux.




We're also super excited to welcome back Megan Suarez, the artist owner of Dilly Beans Stamps, as our sponsor this week. She will be providing the challenge winner with three free images from the Dilly Beans online shop. Wow!!

Dilly Beans offers some wonderfully whimsical digi stamps in a lot of different themes. To see more of Megan Suarez’s beautiful illustrations, visit her InspirationsBlog, Dilly Beans Challenge Blog and the Dilly Beans Facebook Page.

Thanks for your generous sponsorship Megan! We loved working with Penny and Tula this week.

Now, without further ado, here is this week's sketch … yep, it's a blast from the past. Originally created by Sweet Sketch Wednesday's Arlana Patten and featured all the way back in April of 2013. Click here to see what the talented artists of original Sweet Sketch team did with it.

Hi there friends!!  Thanks so much for checking out our Challenge - I am SO GLAD you have stopped by!!  If you are new to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, Welcome!!  And Welcome back to our faithful Followers - the Design Team can not wait to see your creations using this week's sketch.  My name is Sally and I am your Hostess this week coming to you from Massachusetts.

This week we have a wonderful sponsor, Laurie, from Doodle Pantry.  Here are a few words to re-introduce you to Laurie

"Hello, my name is Laurie.   I'm just a regular Joe crafter. While trying to find digital images that met my own crafting needs, I decided to draw some of my own, as I had so many unique (weird!) ideas that I just couldn't locate elsewhere. I sincerely hope something I've done inspires you to go create something to bring a smile to someone else and hope you enjoy creating to your hearts content with some of my doodles."

~Laurie
Our winner will receive a $10 coupon to use in the Doodle Pantry store.

Bio:

Everything that you ever wanted to know about 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.
