We are so happy to welcome back Sami Stamps as our sponsor this week. Samantha Siemers Ratliff is the owner and illustrator of the wonderful images offered at Sami Stamps. You might know Sami as the younger sister of Tammy at A Day For Daisies where she grew up fascinated with art and watching her sister paint all day in her art studio. Sami got her start through her sister’s store and now has an ever expanding selection of her own digi images at Sami Stamps. Sami’s inspiration comes from those things around her that make her happy in hope that it might brighten your day.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and Bugaboo

Can you tell by this picture where I'm headed off to in a little over a week?!!! I can't wait!! Sun, sand and surf...our annual beach vacation is always a blast!

We were so happy to see so many fabulous creations using our last sketch...you guys are awesome! We have a new one for you to try but first, let me get down to business. Everyone from our last challenge was a winner because all of the images from our sponsor, Dearie Dolls, are free!!


Here's our latest sketch for you to try!!

 

 We have the return of a fan favorite sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps.

 "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."

Challenge Blog: Catch the Bug

Prize:  7 Free Images
