Sugar Creek Hollow Blog Hop!

Good Morning and thank you for joining us here at Sugar Creek HoLLow for our Christmas BLog Hop. We are going to pLay the "Secret Word" game today. You wiLL need to coLLect a Letter at each design team member's blog and then post your answer at the Last stop.

We wiLL be awarding a $25.00 gift certificate to one Lucky winner!

I am sharing with you today one of our new Christmas Digi Stamps intitLed "Shabby Deer"

I first coLored the image with my Stampin Up CoLor Wonder Crayons and bLender pens. I used some new designer paper that a friend of mine sent to me and I think it is from Amuse. The red card stock is DCWV, the sentiment on the front of the card is aLso from Sugar Creek HoLLow.

The tree brads are from my brad stash, The gLittery fLower is from the RecoLLections coLLection at MichaeL's craft store, and the heart brad center is from The Paper Studio coLLection at Hobby Lobby. Just to be different from my usuaL pattern of card crafting, I added a LittLe coLor and embeLLishments to the inside top fLap of the card. Last but not Least, the sentiment on the inside of the card is a retired rubber stamp from Stampin Up.

If you have figured out my secret Letter, Leave me a comment and move on to Donna's Blog. She has the next Letter for you. If you have arrived at my blog first, you wiLL need to start at the beginning to get aLL of your Letters in order. Here is the order of our blog hop:

Happy Saturday to everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. Today, we DT members were asked to use the SCH image called "Lord of the Harvest". This is my favorite of the Fall images.

My card base is SU Crumb Cake, and the DSP is also from Stampin Up. The ribbon is from the SCH store, look under Crinkle Ribbon, there are a variety of colors to choose from,and they are all so pretty. The flowers are Prima and their pearl centers are from my stash of various manufacturers. I finished it all off with a little ink distressing (SU Creamy Caramel) around the image, the yellow DSP and the large flower. Be sure to come back and visit me next weekend, because we will be showing off some of the new Christmas/winter images through a blog hop! It will be lots of fun! Now, go visit the other DT members blogs and leave them some love for their hard work this week.

Unfortunately, I will not be posting anything tomorrow (Sunday or Monday), as I will be attending a funeral for my uncle who lost his battle with leukemia this past week. May God be with his family during this difficult time.

Until next time.... Blessings, Lisa

Sugar Creek Hollow Color Challenge

Hello, Happy Saturday to everyone! At Sugar Creek Hollow we DT members were asked to do a color challenge for our project this week. We were asked to use Vanilla, Black and Red! I loved this one, and thought it would be perfect for the spider web and spider images! Fun stuff for me this week. This one took a couple of days, because I used liquid glue and black fine glitter on the spider web, and Stampin Up crystal effects on the spider. So, I let them dry over night to be on the safe side.

The next day, I cut out the spider, sponged some black ink on the web, adhered the spider with some foam pop dots, and curled his legs up a little. You can see this a little better in the close-up photo below.

I sponged some black ink on the Red DSP to give it a creepy distressed look, and last, I added the Prima flowers and pearl centers.

Now, pop on over to the other DT members blogs and see what beautiful creations that they have made for you to see. Then, pop on over to the SCH blog and remember to leave a comment to the lovely ladies and the owner Tracy, we all work very hard on our creations and blogs. Share the love peeps! Also, don't forget to click onto the store link at the company blog and see the other fabulous images that SCH has, the new Fall and Halloween images are all awesome!

Well, I am off to enjoy a Saturday soccer game of my daughter, she is ready to win!

Until next time....................Blessings, Lisa

Sugar Creek Hollow New Fall Images!

Hello, and happy Saturday to everyone! It is an especially happy Saturday for me because it is my husband and I 17th wedding anniversary! We were married on September 11, 1993. I don't want to down play the terrible tragedy that happened on September 11, 2001, but I doubt that the good Lord would want me to be too terribly sad on my anniversary. I am married to one of the best men I have ever known, and it is cause to celebrate. But still, please everyone take a few moments of silence or prayer for the victims and their loved ones that were effected by the horrific events that took place on that day in 2001. Lets not forget to include the gracious people who assisted in the rescue attempts that day as well. God Bless them all!

Ok, Sugar Creek Hollow has recently added some new Fall and Halloween images to their store, and thanks to last weeks blog hop, they are being snatched up like crazy! Yay! I am so honored to be among the very and I mean very talented design team members, these ladies are amazing paper crafters! With that said, lets move onto the card that I created for today!

Is that pumpkin image exquisite, or what? I so love the pattern in the hat, and the swirls around the pumpkin! Gorgeous! We were asked to follow a sketch challenge this week, which I absolutely love to do! Love sketches, simple and complex, doesn't matter to me!

Here is what I did to create my card. I first printed the image out on some vanilla card stock, colored the image by using very small ink daubers and several different colors of ink starting with the lightest color. I used Stampin Up Ink colors Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, and Dusty Durango. The card base is from DCWV, and so is the orange/rust layer. the Designer paper is from a paper stack by Provo Craft, the leaf embellishments are Prima Marketing. The ribbon layers are all from my stash, and I have had them for so long, I am sorry to say that I can't remember what brands they are. I also added some ink distressing with a sponge and Creamy Caramel SU Ink. I used a darker color to distress with last week and I didn't like it, I think this is much better. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Now, Tracy the owner of Sugar Creek Hollow is working on some Christmas images, so keep coming back to visit we DT member's blogs each week and the SCH blog everyday, to see when the new images will be ready and in the store!

I will be back later today with an announcement!

Until next time..... Blessings, Lisa
