Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #221-163 Our Sponsor this week is Bugaboo Digi Stamps.


Good morning SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY followers.
This is Kathie and I'm your hostess from       
 New Zealand this week.

Our days here are getting warmer and longer which means Spring is just around the corner and there have been so many spring flowers out in bloom it looks amazing.

Well most of my American Colleagues would have heard of the
 America's Cup Yachting.  

On Monday morning New Zealand time Team New Zealand won the
 Louis Vuitton Cup,
wrapping up the challenger series over Luna Rossa 7-1,
 PRADA being their sponsors.  This means now that New Zealand are the Challengers to the America's Cup.


The sailing has been amazing using Catamarans and going at such high speeds at appropriately  84km per hour at times.  On the 7th September Team New Zealand will sail against Oracle in San Francisco Bay for the America's Cup the oldest sailing race in the world.

  
This will be specular to watch as it's so close to the piers and to the shore line.  These are two amazing trophies which New Zealand have won twice before in 1995 and 2000 which is amazing for such a small country.

Now on with Sweet Sketch Wednesday

This week we have the wonderful

Jodie Mackrell the owner of 

Bugaboo Digi Stamps as our sponsor.


A little bit about Bugaboo



Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five 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 world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. TodayBugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary 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 stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

You can check out Bugaboo and Jodie's amazing images here.  There's an image to suit everyone and her images truly make me smile.

  1. Well done NZ and good luck for the next race. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed Kathie. And thanks for a great post.

    Well done Mynette and the top 3. What an amazing turnout last week. I hope we see the same this week, and how could we not with such a great sketch and sponsor this week. Don't forget- if you want to use a digi from our sponsor, Bugaboo, they do have some freebies.

    Good luck everyone.
