My Mother's Apron


Today is another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and our challenge to you this week is to create a card or other paper crafting project and use buttons and bows.  This reminds me so much of the type of apron my Mother wore when she baked when I was a youngster a zillion years ago:)

I found some wonderful digital paper at Raspberry Road to use for the apron and then used a couple of the blue papers in the pack along with some red gingham from my paper stash.  I think this apron is such a fun image from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and lends itself so nicely to paper piecing so that is just what I did and then popped a second image up with foam dots.  The baking powder ad and the old handwritten recipe card came off the internet and I apologize but I forgot to make a note of the sources.  I added some wonderful crinkly ribbon that was a gift from Tracy, the owner of Sugar Creek Hollow along with some red buttons and cooking themed buttons.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

AI Factory  - In the Kitchen
Digi Doodles Best Shop - Anything Goes
Do You Stack Up - Dots
Outlawz Challenges/Prisma and Other Mediums - Anything Goes (Western Optional)
Shelly's Images Blog - Anything Goes
