Anything Goes Challenge, Anniversary Blog Hop & New Release

Wow, this is a really big and really sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow.

First, we have an easy challenge for you - ANYTHING GOES.

Each week we will choose one random winner, who will receive a free digi of their choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and a badge to display on your blog.  If you use a Sugar Creek Hollow image you will get two entries in the random draw.  Just follow the instructions on the sidebar to link your second entry.

Each week the Design Team will choose a Card of the Week and the creator of that card will get a badge to display.  One overall winner will be chosen each month from the Cards of the Week.  That person will be invited to be a Guest Designer and participate in the next challenge.  An image will be provided to them to work with.

Second, Tracy, the wonderful owner of Sugar Creek Hollow has this fabulous freebie for. It will only be available for the week of the blog hop so if you would like to make something with it, please grab it now. We would sure love to see any creations you make with this freebie or any of the stamps you pick up from the store, including the new stamps being released today.

EDITED to remove Freebie as it is was only available during the blog hop.

Third, in addition to announcing our weekly challenge, we are having a blog hop at Sugar Creek Hollow as part of our first anniversary celebrations. All the designers have a giveaway for a winner chosen randomly from the people who leave comments on their blogs. There will be a grand prize winner chosen from the people who leave a comment on the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge blog.

The blog hop will run in conjunction with the challenge from 8:00 am EST on Saturday, March 19th to 12 midnight EST on Friday, March 25th. Comments left after the deadline will not be included in any of the draws. Winners will be announced on each blog and the challenge blog on March 26th.

To be eligible for the giveaways you must become a follower at each stop on the hop and then leave a comment at each stop, including here, telling us which stamp in the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe is your favorite. In addition, if you'd like, you can tell us what types of stamps you might want to see added to the Sugar Creek Hollow line of stamps. Don’t forget to leave a contact email in case you are the winner.

Here is the order of the blog hop and here are the wonderful cards our designers have made using the new release stamps. Make sure you check out the details of their creations when you visit them for the hop.

Winners - March Sketch Challenge

Here are the winners for the March Sketch challenge.

The random winner is SEMSEE (a.k.a. Simone) and she will get a digi of her choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow store along with a badge to display on her blog.  Here is her fun take on the sketch.

For some reason there were not very many entries in our March sketch challenge so it was easier for the Design Team to make their pick for Card of the Week.  That honor goes to PATTI PAINTER who shared this great card with the vintage hot air balloon.

Patti will receive a badge to display on her blog and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Congratulations ladies and please email Cec to claim your prizes.

Handmade Flowers Challenge

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday here at Sugar Creek Hollow.  Today we want you to create a card or other paper crafting project and embellish it with flowers that you make yourself.  The flowers can be punched, crochet, fabric or whatever else your creative mind can come up with. Remember, you can't use commercially produced flowers this week - this is a HANDMADE FLOWER challenge.

Each week we will choose one random winner, who will receive a free digi of their choice from the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and a badge to display on your blog.  If you use a Sugar Creek Hollow image you will get two entries in the random draw.  Just follow the instructions on the sidebar to link your second entry.

The Design Team will also choose a Card of the Week and the creator of that card will get a badge to display.  One overall winner will be chosen each month from the Cards of the Week.  That person will be invited to be a Guest Designer and participate in the next challenge.  An image will be provided to them to work with. 

We also want to remind you to come back next Saturday, March 19th for our blog hop. You will see wonderful new cards by our designers and each of them has candy for one lucky winner who comes to comment during the hop as well as a grand prize winner from the challenge blog comments. If you haven't left a comment for a chance to win the anniversary blog candy make sure you do that now so you don't miss out.  The winner of the blog candy will be drawn on March 31st.

This week we are pleased to be joined by LANEY, who is the first Guest Designer to be chosen from our Cards of the Week. All our designers have created some wonderful inspiration for you this week and we hope you will see some new flowers you want to try your hand at. You can check the details of their creations by clicking on their name, which will take you directly to their blogs.
