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.

Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow

Hopefully you are seeing this post as I am away today and had to count on Blogger to do my post! Welcome to another sensational challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow where we are challenging you to create a Vintage/Shabby Chic inspired card or project using a vintage children's image. I am drawn to sihouette images and fell instantly in love with this one which I found as a freebie at The Graphics Fairy . Aren't these sweet children and of course I am in love with the cat. I also loved using the papers from Teresa Collins paper pack Haunted Halloween and netting from her as well. Very simple and quick, but I was pleased with the look of this. For my inside I used some more of the paper and my leaf paper punch from Martha Stewart.



We will be choosing a random winner who will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display on her blog.  In addition, the Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week (or shall we say Project of the Week) and the creator will receive a badge to display on her blog and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.
