January Sketch for Sugar Creek Hollow

This week we have some changes for you at Sugar Creek Hollow and a wonderful sketch for the first challenge of 2011.

Everyone is invited to enter a card using this sketch and you are not required to use an image from Sugar Creek Hollow but if you do you will get two entries into the random prize draw.  The winner of that draw will receive a digi of their choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and a badge to display on their blog.  Once we reach a minimum of 10 entries, the Design Team will select a Card of the Week and the creator of that card will receive a special badge to display on their blog.  Every month there will be a Guest Designer chosen from the Cards of the Week and that person will be invited to join the Design Team in a challenge.  There are lots of reasons to enter so we can't wait to see your fabulous creations.

Did you know? - - - The proceeds of sales from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe go to provide food, clothing and shelter for those who are less fortunate.  If you don't have any images from the Shoppe yet, check it out and when you buy something to use on your creations you can say that you have helped out too.

My card this week features the Vintage Hot Air Balloon from Sugar Creek Hollow and I have coloured the basket with my Prismacolor pencil crayons and paper pieced the balloon.  I created the sentiment on my computer and then mounted it under a heart I cut with my Cricut.  The border was cut with a new Martha Stewart punch.  A vintage post card, some flowers and some card candy finish it off.
