Flowers In My Pocket

 

Welcome to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  Life has been a little chaotic in my home in the last 4 days with the boys finishing their school holidays and getting them ready to go back to boarding school.  My head is down and my bum is up for a couple of days to make sure they have everything and its ticked off my check list.

Congratulations to our winner and our top 3 cards there were some really lovely cards this week and it was nice to see that you had a go at the 
Tic-Tac-Toe for our end of the month Twist.

Happy Mother's Day to all the counties that celebrate Mother's Day this coming Sunday.

This week Sally has another wonderful sketch which is just so easy:

Sketch #13



Here's my card using Flowers In My Pocket.
I tried to make it look like an old pair of faded jeans.


This week our sponsor is Melissa Jenkins the creator, artist and owner behind these wonderful images at

Meljen's Designs


Melissa's Bio:  My name is Melissa Jenkins, and I am a homeschooling mommy and wife to my best friend. We have two children, two cats and three hermit crabs. When I'm not drawing, I love spending lots of time with my family cuddling on the couch, playing games, going for walks, fishing, visiting the park & the zoo, collecting postage stamps, or just plain watching movies.
I've been an artist as long as I can remember - and I am inspired by everything around me. All of my digital stamp designs are inspired by my children (and husband!) and things they do, our cats, things we see on nature walks and daily 'adventures', or memories I have of my childhood. Animals too - I love animals! Art is an uplifting thing for me, and I love designing cute tidbits of art that makes people smile.
I draw all of my little creations by hand. A lot of love goes into my art! Each of my designs is sketched in pencil, inked with a black Micron pen, then scanned in and lightly cleaned up so it will look crisp when you print it.
I LOVE inspiring crafters. I am not very talented at making cards myself, so I LOVE seeing all of the beautiful things that you make with my digital stamps. I couldn't ask for a better blessing!
Melissa is offering our very lucky winner 
Prize: 4 images (non-colored)

Kathie, your papers andcolors are so perfect with your iamge. It does have that wore jean look! I love it. I am sorry I missed commenting on your card last week. I don't know what happened. I really thought I did. I can't seem to keep up with everything lately. We had one of our bosses here from the main office this week and I got to go to dinner with him twice. That took up a couple of evenings. This is the first time I have been invited to go with them. So, it was a real treat.
Have a good weekend.
Hugs, Nancy
