It's a fabulous Autumn day in the Carolinas and I want to welcome you to the  Create with TlC Blog Hop!  Paulette decided a Blog Hop would be the perfect way to launch the new design team.  We have a special treat from Paulette, every designer will be including the image they used as a freebie!  If you have arrived here from Laurence's blog, then you are on the right track, if not please return to the TLC blog to get started and to see the complete list of designers.

My image for the hop is "Windy Autumn", perfect for a vintage fall card!
card ingredients:
Basic Grey Indian Summer design paper, Brushed Corduroy and Scattered Straw distress inks, Copic markers:  B41,E00 E07,E11,E35,E55,Y23,Y26,Y32YG61, The Ribbon Retreat double ruffle ribbon, burlap, jute and buttons from my stash.

Sugar Creek Hollow Saturday Challenge

It is another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and we are having a special HALLOWEEN WITH A TWIST challenge this week so make sure you read the challenge post carefully.

We are welcoming Plumrose Lane as a new sponsor this week and for this challenge our sponsor is providing all of you with a wonderful freebie that you must use to make your vintage, shabby chic or primitive challenge entry. You will love this because the freebie is a collage sheet of fabulous Halloween images along with an instant card and envelope.  Here's my design:
I chose the images I wanted to use, trimmed them and adhered to a spiderweb frame I made with my Cricut.  This collage is so versatile and so many different designs can be created!

To get your freebie, just go to the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge blog, click on the link and download the freebie (in a .zip file format). Please note that the freebie will only be available for the length of the challenge and after that will be available at the Plumrose Lane Etsy shop.


Plumrose Lane is also giving one random winner a $10 gift certificate toward the purchase of any item from the Plumrose Lane Etsy shop. The random winner will also receive a Sugar Creek Hollow winner's badge to display. In addition, the Design Team will choose a Card of the Week and that creator will receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.
