Sketch Saturday #300 - Blog Hop

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  As promised I've got something a little different and fun today!  Today marks the 300th challenge at the Sketch Saturday blog!  The Saturday Girls are celebrating with a blog hop!  And we have another surprise - Jo Edwards, the founder of the Sketch Saturday blog, is hopping with us and we are all using the very first sketch she had on the blog!  Fun, right?  But wait, there's more!  There is mystery blog candy hidden at some of the sites along the hop.  Be sure to leave comments on every blog along the way to have a chance to win one of the hidden prizes.   You should have arrived at my blog from Marzena's blog.  If not, you should head back to the Sketch Saturday blog and start from the beginning so you don't miss anything.

We are generously sponsored this week by Simon Says Stamp, who are offering a $25 GC to their fabulous store.

 
Here is the fabulous sketch:
 
Here is my take on Jo's sketch:


My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Summer Swing Birgitta from C.C. Designs.  I colored her with my Copics and popped her up on a seat of chevron-striped ribbon.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few pretty Spring flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop on the hop is Lesley.  Don't forget to leave comments on every blog to be in the running for the mystery candy!

Here is the whole line-up in case you get lost:


Have a wonderful day and enjoy the hop!
