Vintage Fashion....


Happy Saturday and welcome to this week's challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow ! I am so excited since this week we are sponsored by one of my very favorite digital stamp companies Digi Doodle Shop where you can find a beautiful array of all types of stamps. I hope you will take the link and have a look around if you have never visited them before! This week's winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store. Hope you will play along for a chance to win this great prize.  

Our theme this week is Vintage Fashion and I use 1800 Vintage Dress 2 for my card which I colored with prismacolor pencils and oms. The shading was done with Antique Linen distress ink. Don't you just love the bg paper?? This was a freebie from the wonderful blog by Emily Sweetly Scrapped . If you love vintage/shabby chic...you want to visit! The clothing emporium piece was also a freebie from The House Across the Bay which lists one every Tuesday at Papercraft Star and as a side note when getting the link for THATB, I saw they are having a Memorial Day sale.....going shopping!  

I used more of the wonderful trim that I picked up a few weeks ago and made my spool from Kraft paper and added some DMC thread and a needle. My sentiment and the one on the inside of this wonderful Melon Berry paper from PTI is from the set Retro Boutique by Gina K Designs and I also added some girly images from a Stampin' Up set Antique Collectibles. Hope you see something that inspires you to join us this week for such a fun challenge.



Before I go, I want to thank our country's service people and their families for the great sacrifices so that we can live free in this wonderful country. I am proud to be an American! Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
