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.

Growing up...

Hello bloggers, 
I had to share a picture with you of my daughter and her friend. 
Today they are going to a Bat Mitzvah  that is for one of there good friends. The theme of the party is the 50's. Mia and I went shopping for a dress at a resale shop and found the one she is wearing. 
Mia is in the blue dress and her friend Avery is in the lovely cream dress.  My little girl is not so little any more.

Fancy Folds

Good morning and welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow.
This week our challenge to you is FANCY
FOLDS
. So think outside the box or past the single fold and
let us see vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards with fun and fancy
folds.

Here is my card closed and below it a photo of the card open. 
I give this card to my In-laws for Thanksgiving. 

This week one random winner will receive a digi of our choice and a
winner's badge to display. In addition, the Design Team will choose one
project as Card of the Week and the creator will receive a badge and
will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Thankful...

Hello bloggers,
Hope you are having a great day, I am on the mend. Off of work yesterday due to a ear and sinus infection. Hoping and praying that the antibiotics kick in so I start to feel better. Not to mention I also had a crown put in my mouth today too!  In between going to the Dr.'s offices and getting my prescriptions I managed to make a card.
I used a cute image from Jellypark- Heartfelt,  which I colored with my copics. The sketch is from Magnolia Down Under Challenge. Thanks for stopping by and Hope to see you soon.
