#3 - Layers

Wow, it is already Saturday and we have another great challenge for you. This week we want your vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards to have lots of LAYERS.


We would like to welcome a wonderful new sponsor, Robyn's Fetish who is generously providing 5 digis from her store to one random winner. The random winner will also receive a winner's badge from Sugar Creek Hollow.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award the winner her choice of 5 digital stamps.


The Design Team will choose one entry as their Top Pick and the creator of that card will receive a winner's badge to display and will be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot to be selected after the last March challenge.

Our designers have created some fun primitive cards for your inspiration this week using images from our lovely sponsor.  For the details, just click on their name and you will be taken directly to their blog.

While primitive isn't part of the challenge theme this week, we encourage you to give it a try. Don't be intimidated by the style because you just need to think simple images, simple embellishments and papers - everything with a bit of a country feel.

#2 - Monochromatic Green

Thanks to all the participants in the Trash to Treasure challenge last week. There were lots of interesting items transformed into some fabulous vintage creations.

The challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow is MONOCHROMATIC GREEN and you can make any green card or other paper-crafted project you wish but it must be done in a vintage, shabby chic or primitive style. Some of you may want to make something for St. Patrick's Day but it is not a requirement. However, whatever you do create, your papers, embellishments, etc. must be primarily green but any shade of green is just fine.

We will choose one random winner, who will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display. The Design Team will choose their Top Pick and that creator will receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot to be chosen by the Design Team after all the Top Picks for the month have been chosen.

Our designers are happy to come and visit your blogs to comment on your creations so please ensure that your entry fits the challenge theme, follows the rules (including no back-linking) and that you have the comment verification turned off. Nothing is more disappointing to see a fabulous creation only to discover that it isn't eligible. We always feel so badly for the participants when this happens.

We are joined by another wonderful Guest Designer this week, Debbie Marcinkiewicz, and she and the rest of the team have created some fabulous green projects for your inspiration. To get all the details, just click on their names.
