Winter wonder...

Hello, 
Today this will  be my last card for 2011. I am ready and happily looking forward to 2012 and all the excited adventurers that will happen in the coming year.

This card is made with a Stamping Boutique image for the challenge over at 2 sisters Challenge blog, because The Stamping Boutique is the sponsor. The Challenge is to make a card with Winter colors.
Here is my card, I used the image called Mail Girl. The papers are all in blues, white and a touch of brown. I would of done more white but we do not have any snow to remind me of the white, LOL! 

Thank you to all of my  followers and for those that comment Thank you, I appreciate each and every one of the comments. Wishing you all a very Happy and Joyous New Year.  BIG HUGS...

Friend to friend

     No... you are not seeing double...I wanted to play with my new printer that I got for Christmas and also  wanted to do the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesdays and since the sponsor this week is A Day For Daisies. I do not have many images from ADFD, so this one was one that fit the sketch( I know I don't have to use the sponsor image, I just like too). Did I mention my new printer? It is wonderful and wireless! Thank you Mom and Dad Dronchi I love it.
For this card: The Dp are all digi papers from Sherri K design. The image is from A Day For Daisies, and the sentiment is from SU. I used Copics for coloring and glitter on this little one's  hair. Hope you are doing well this afternoon. 

Sea Friends

Hello, 
Just popping in to remind you that the open house is still going on over at The Crafters Cafe. 
Here is I card I made for the challenge sponsored by A Day for Daisies ( challenge will start on 12-31). I used lots of glitter on this little mermaid her 3 friends are just adorable.
I made this card for a soccer friend of my daughters, she had eye surgery this month and I thought this would cheer her up. Come to find out She was up and going the very next day. So happy for her! I am going to try and get a few more posts before the new year. See you soon.

Welcome to Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow
and a new challenge. Before I get to the challenge, let me tell you
about some changes to the Sugar Creek Hollow Design Team.

First, we are losing a couple of our wonderful designers because of
family commitments. Marsha has been with Sugar Creek Hollow
since the very beginning and her wonderful vintage designs will be
missed. While Heide hasn't been with us as long, she has
inspired us all each week with some gorgeous designs. Renee is
going to stay with the team but will be scaling back her participation.
Starting in the New Year she will become our Feature Artist and will
show us all how Recycling and Repurposing are done the vintage way when
those challenges come up. These ladies have made valuable contributions
to the Sugar Creek Hollow team and have become lovely online crafting
friends.

Next, we have three new designers coming on board and they are joining
us with their vintage beauties for the challenge this week so you can
get a preview of what they will be showing you starting in January.

Give a big welcome to:

Linda Payne from Payne Holler Cards
Peggy Marsh from The Wired Angel
Daniele Haddon from The Musings of a Chocoholic 

Now on to our challenge. With Christmas close at hand, our challenge to
you this week is to make CHRISTMAS
CARDS IN NON-TRADITIONAL COLORS
. Don't forget that we are a
vintage, shabby chic or primitive challenge and want you to create in
those styles.

Here is my card and the colors that I used were pinks, mint green and yellow.

We have a lovely new sponsor this week. Please welcome Delicious
Doodles who will be providing one random winner with 4 digis of her
choice. The random winner will also receive a Sugar Creek Hollow
winner's badge to display. The Design Team will also choose a Card of
the Week and the creator will also receive a badge to display and will
be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Don't forget, we also have Christmas Blog Candy for one lucky winner to be chosen from
our challenge entries
between now and Christmas Eve.

To inspire you all of our current and our new designers have created
some fabulous Christmas cards in non-traditional colors using a couple
of the images from Delicious Doodles.
