Good morning and welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow. This week our challenge to you is FANCY FOLDS.  So think outside the box or past the single fold and let us see vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards with fun and fancy folds!  I chose to make a side step dresser card.  I found the tutorial for this here:

side view

My vintage image is from Clearly Vintage and the fabulous mirror is from Create with TLC's "Ooh La La" collection.  I made the fancy cuts with a Spellbinder's die and used brads as the drawer knobs.  For the final touches, I sponged my dresser and mirror with distress inks.

This week one random winner will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display. In addition, the Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week and the creator will receive a badge and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Sugar Creek Hollow Saturday Challenge

It is Saturday and we have a really fun challenge for you at Sugar Creek Hollow this week. We want to see a vintage, shabby chic or primitive card or other paper-crafted project that features a RECIPE CARD. The recipe card can be shown either on the front or inside of your project and the recipe itself should be a family favorite that has been passed down over the years.  Well, that being said, my recipe has been passed down for a few years, it is a favorite I obtained when I joined Weight Watcher's a few years ago:

I don't cook as much as I did when my children were living at home and we like quick and easy meals most of the time.  After all, when you're retired you never have any time to yourself!  I have passed this on to several friends and to my children.  This is so yummy on those cold winter days!  You could easily add some other vegetables to make this ever heartier.


We hope you will join along with our fun challenge this week!  If your recipe isn't easily read from the photo of your project, then we would ask that you detail it in your post. It would also be great if you could show a photo of the finished recipe. Your recipe can be of any type and we would love to hear the story behind it. Soon your family's favorite could become someone else's family favorite so thanks for sharing.


This week one random winner will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display. In addition, the Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week and the creator will receive a badge and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.


Don't forget, we also have Christmas Blog Candy for one lucky winner to be chosen from our challenge entries between now and Christmas Eve.

Here's my creation for this week's challenge:

I chose this gorgeous House Mouse stamp "Choir Practice", LOL!  I think I'll take it with me to choir tomorrow night!  My image was colored with Copic markers and distress inks.  My design paper is "A Country Christmas" from The Paper studio.  My poinsettias were made with Spellbinder's Layered Poinsettia die.

Tiddly Inks Finale: Bah-Huggybuggs

For my final Tiddly Inks post, I chose Christy's "Bah-Huggybuggs".  I believe this is an older digi, but still as cute as ever!  Here are my Huggybuggs:

close-up

All my coloring was with Copic markers and my diecuts were made with my Cricut and Spellbinder's Layered Poinsettias.  My design paper is from The Paper Studio's "A Country Christmas".   

Whew!  That was my final Tiddly Ink card for tonight and I'm pooped!

Once again thanks for visiting!

Tiddly Inks Encore: Christmas Joy

Here is my second creation tonight using another new Tiddly Inks digi, "Christmas Joy":

close-up

Once again I took a handful of Copics and had such a blast with all the different colors.  My sentiment is from Create with TLC and I used a Christmas sample pack I purchased from Sweet n Sassy last year.  I then added a splash of Basic Grey's Wassail.  My trees were cut with Spellbinder's 2010 Shapeabilities Christmas Trees.

Tiddly Inks Fall Queen

I think this newest creation from Tiddly Inks is cute enough to be crowned "queen"of the pumpkin patch!  Fall has become my favorite time of the year and I love seeing all the pumpkins, leaves and scarecrows.  I actually colored this image about a week ago and I've been taking my time deciding on my colors and design.    Here is my finished card:

Fall Queen

close-up

My image was colored with Copic markers and I added burlap and embossed my cardstock for additional texture.  And what is fall without leaves?  All of my leaves were made with my cricut.  I embossed the leaves and added some Viva-Decor Inka Gold for glitz.

   

Stay tuned!  I will be posting two more Tiddly Inks cards tonight. Thanks for visiting, I appreciate your comments and all your support!
