Vintage Animal Farm

Happy Autumn my friends and welcome, so glad you

could join me for this week's "Vintage Animal Farm" Challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow !  

We ask that you create using a vintage/shabby chic animal or animal scene.

Don't you love my chicken? He was a free image which I found at Vintage Fan Girl , you may remember my school image that I used a few weeks ago....it was also from this great site.

I love black and cream or white with red....these are DCWV La Creme papers, that front piece is even flocked, how fabulous is that? 

My card base is black with the same black card stock layering my front layer and separating the design paper and the beautiful cherry cobbler card stock. My gingham ribbon is one from my local fabric outlet and perfect in my eye for this card.

Hope this inspires you to join us this week for our challenge.

One random winner will receive a free digi of our choice and a winner's badge

 and the person picked as our Top Pick by our Design Team will also get a winner's badge to display on their blog and a chance for a monthly Guest Design Team spot.

Enjoy this first weekend of Fall, Rick and I are off to shoot in a 

tournament with some friends, hope I do well.

hugs.....

Vintage School Days with SCH

Happy Saturday and welcome to my Sugar Creek Hollow post, hope you are ready to join in and play along with us this week. We are going by to "School Days:" this week where we want to see something created with that theme in mind in a vintage/shabby chic design.

I found this great image free at Vintage Fan Girl and I hope you will go take a look.

I framed it with a sticker frame from Rebecca Sowers vintage frames adding a couple of Kraft photo tabs.

My sentiment, bg and tab all come from several different Stampin' Up sets, I stamped them with vintage sepia Versafine ink. Do you love the polka dot and note papers....wish I had gotten more those at the show in Charlotte, these pads with lots of colors and patterns and 24 sheets are by Jenni Bowlin and were only a dollar, what a steal!

Adding a star from who knows where that I have had forever and some of my unused and unloved DMC thread I tied a bow around the twill ribbon. The ABC's were silver but I used copper mixatives from Tim Holtz to change the color.

I was talking with Cec, SCH's owner this week and told her that I had struggled with this week's challenge for some reason, ever have those times??? but in the end, I am very happy with my card.

Red and yellow are one of my fave color combos.

Hope you have time this week to play along with us at Sugar Creek Hollow!

Happy Labor Day Weekend.
