Christmas Blog Candy

The holiday season is upon us and we all know that Christmas is a time for gift giving. Thanks to Tracy, the generous owner of Sugar Creek Hollow, we are pleased to offer a gift for one lucky person this Christmas - a Cricut® Personal Die Cutting Machine along with a George & Basic Shapes Cartridge. The random winner will be selected on Christmas Eve from the entries for all the weekly challenges posted from November 5th to December 17th.

The rules are easy:

• You must enter a card into at least one of the Sugar Creek Hollow challenges posted between November 5th and December 17th to be eligible for the draw. The more entries you make following the challenge theme and rules as listed on the sidebar, the more chances you get to win. Since you can enter 3 cards each week that is a possible 21 chances to win.
• You must post the photo above on your sidebar and link it to this post on the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge blog. The linked photo is to remain on your blog until December 24th.
• You do not have to be a follower but we would love it if you become one because we have great challenges each week with wonderful inspiration from our designers and we would not want you to miss anything.

So come to visit each Saturday to see what challenge we have for you and then enter your wonderful creations so you can be included in the draw for this fabulous Christmas Candy.

Did You Know?

Did you know that vellum is just another paper and readily available at craft stores? Did you know that it comes in a variety of colors and sometimes is even printed? Did you know that you can stamp on it, emboss it, cut it with your dies, sponge it with ink and do just about anything you want to it?

We think you didn't know these things because we don't have very many entries this week. Please get your hands on some vellum and show us what you can do with it. We know whatever you do will be fabulous.

Winners - Colors of Fall

Here are the winners of the Colors of Fall challenge.

The random winner of 3 digis from Paper Cupcakes, who generously sponsored this challenge is LACEY STEPHENS. Lacey will also receive a Sugar Creek Hollow badge to display on her blog.

The Design Team chose this wonderful tag by BRENDA BROWN as the Card of the Week. Brenda will also receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Congratulations ladies and please email Cec to claim your prizes.

Vellum Challenge

It is another Sensational Saturday here at Sugar Creek Hollow and this week our challenge to you is to create a card or other paper crafted project featuring VELLUM. We would love to see how you use vellum in your project but remember that we are a vintage, shabby chic or primitive challenge blog so your entry must be in one of those styles.

This week you could be a random winner and receive a digi of our choice along with a badge to display on your blog or the Design Team might choose your entry as Card of the Week and if they do, you will receive a badge and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Our designers have used vellum in a number of ways on their cards so you can see how versatile it can be and be inspired.

This week we are welcoming Peggy Marsh (a.k.a. The Wired Angel) as Guest Designer and she has created this beauty for you. Peggy was selected from the August Cards of the Week winners.
