Sewing Basket

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow. This week we have a great challenge - EMBOSSING. You can create your vintage, shabby chic or primitive card with dry or heat embossing.

Join us in saying hello to Digi Doodle Shop, a lovely new sponsor who will be providing one random winner with a $10 gift certificate from their store. The random winner will also receive a winner's badge from Sugar Creek Hollow to display on her blog. In addition the Design Team will select one project as Card of the Week and the creator of that card will receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

The Design Team has used a number of the fabulous images from Digi Doodle Shop and have created some wonderful inspiration for you.

I used this wonderful Sewing Basket image and was so intent on colouring this beauty that I forgot all about the challenge theme so my embossing is a bit lame. I love the combination of the paper and the image though because they remind me of a Grandmother or at least what I think an old fashioned Grandmother would have. I don't know if my Grandmother sewed because she died when my Mother was only 3 weeks old. I never did hear anything about my Grandmother on my Father's side. He only ever mentioned a Sister who was an actress in Poland. I think my Grandchildren are lucky because I am very much in their lives and I am trying to create good memories with them.

Purple Elegance

Welcome to another challenge at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges.  This week we want you to create a card or other project using a recipe; 1 digital image, 1 ribbon, 2 patterned papers and 3 brads.  You have two weeks to enter your fabulous creation for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate from our wonderful sponsor.

 

We were asked to incorporate an image from Digi Doodle Shop on our card and I chose this one called Vintage Dress 6.  It is one of a series of vintage dresses in the shop.  I decided to make this monochromatic card when I found the floral paper in my stash.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge - Flower Power

Prairie Fairy - Anything Goes

Quirky Crafts - Ribbon

Bunny Zoes Crafts - Nice & Girly

2 Sisters Challenge - Anything Goes

The floral paper is from Anna Griffin and the scratched paper is from a Provo Craft Scrap Pack.  The card stock is Recollections (Michaels).  Other supplies used:  Chalk (Mungyo), Card Candy Backless Brads (Craftwork Cards), Lace Corner Punch and Frond Punch (Martha Stewart), Organza Ribbon (Little Bead Shop in Toronto Garment District), Flowers (Bridal Supply Store) and Starry Night Stickles (Ranger).

Flowers for Mother

The challenge at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges is to use an image with flowers with Mother's Day as an option.  Since I was in the Mother's Day frame of mind, I decided to add the option.  This challenge is being generously sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop and we are fortunate to be using their images in our cards for your inspiration.  They are providing the prize, which is 3 digital stamps of your choice from their shop so be sure to enter your creation. Thank you Digi Doodle Shop!

 
The challenge will last for two weeks so you have lots of time to make more than one item to share with us at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges.  Remember you don't have to use a Daisy Doodles image to enter but there are lots of great images in her shop so why don't you hop over and pick one up.  You can purchase Daisy Doodles images and great digital papers here or here.
