Sugar Creek Hollow Blog Hop & New Release

This is a really big day at Sugar Creek Hollow (and this is a really long post).  There are new stamps in the store, we are having a blog hop and we have a new challenge for you.

Let's start with the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge.  It is an easy one for you - ANYTHING GOES - and you have to love that. This week each of the Sugar Creek Hollow designers has used one of the new stamps so you really must check out their work and when you see their cards I know you will want to head over to the store to pick up one or two of the new images.

Here's my card featuring the Happy Anniversary Cake - a sentiment that has been kicked up a few notches, wouldn't you say? Sorry about the photo but the light would not cooperate so the faded black paper at the top looks a bit more faded.


Today, in addition to announcing our weekly challenge, we are having a blog hop at Sugar Creek Hollow as part of our first anniversary celebrations. All the designers have a giveaway for a winner chosen randomly from the people who leave comments on their blogs. There will be a grand prize winner chosen from the people who leave a comment on the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge blog.

The blog hop will run in conjunction with the challenge from 8:00 am EST on Saturday, March 19th to 12 midnight EST on Friday, March 25th. Comments left after the deadline will not be included in any of the draws. Winners will be announced on each blog and the challenge blog on March 26th.

To be eligible for my giveaway you must become a follower and then leave me a comment telling me which stamp in the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe is your favorite. In addition, if you'd like you can tell me what types of stamps you might want to see added to the Sugar Creek Hollow line of stamps. Don’t forget to leave a contact email in case you are the winner on my blog.

Here is what one random winner from the comments on my blog will receive:


1 package of 3/8" Glue Dots singles
1 package of pink pearl stickers
1 roll of ribbon
2 bundles of Wild Orchid flowers
8 unmounted flower rubber stamps from Stamp It Crazy
1 unmounted coordinating sentiment rubber stamp from Stamp It Crazy

Hopefully you have arrived here from Sharon's blog but if you are lost, here is the order of the blog hop:

Tracy
Heide
Sharon
Cec (That's Me)
Darlene
Dawn
Donna
Marsha
Mary
Nancy
Renee

We look forward to hearing your comments and to seeing your creation entered into our challenge. Your next stop is Darlene's blog.

Oh and if this isn't enough, Tracy, the wonderful and generous owner of Sugar Creek Hollow has a freebie for you to pick up for one week only when you go to the challenge blog during the blog hop.

Have Fun!

    Cec, this is such an elegant anniversary card. Love the die you chose and that ribbon treatment is stunning!! I love SCH and this hop is so much fun. I adore the vintage images (vintage, balloon and postcard) and would love to see more of this, Maybe a vintage suitcase or something on that order. Happy Anniversary and have a great week.
