Country Gal

It is time for a new challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow and this week we want you to make vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards with DIE CUTS OR PUNCHES. You can use one or the other or even both, if you wish.

This week we are pleased to welcome a new sponsor, Sassy Cheryl who will be providing one random winner with a $5 gift certificate to her store.


I love Sassy Cheryl's images and was anxious to play with this one called Country Gal but was saddened to discover that it had been retired. Cheryl is a wonderful gal and has agreed to re-activate it just for one week during the challenge so if you want to play with her too, pop over to Sassy Cheryl's store and snag her while you can.  You can find her here.


My card has a bit of a split personality this week and can't decide if it is vintage or primitive but I think the more primitive inspired papers and the twill tape suits her.

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

Sassy Cheryl's - Anything Goes
Divas by Design - Charms
Sweet Stamps - Vintage or Shabby Chic
The Stamping Boutique - Distressing
Top Tip Tuesday - Spotty Dotty
