More exciting news & a Touch of Vintage

WOW, what an amazing week I am having!!   I just couldn't wait for today to make my announcement!!! I was invited to be  Guest Designer for the month of March at Sugar Creek Hollow!!!! WOOOHOO!!! Thanks so much Tracy for giving me the opportunity to work with you and your very talented design team!!!    What a fabulous month this is going to be!!

It's going to be a SUPER EXCITING month at Sugar Creek Hollow as they are celebrating their 1st Anniversary!  All the activities will be listed at the bottom of this post.  Bear with me ... it's going to be a long post ... LOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!
 

First of all is today's challenge and we have a sketch for you to play with.  I had so much fun with this sketch and I hope you do too! 

For my creation, I have used the beautiful dress called Ladies "Frock" Together - Springtime in Paris Collection which can be found HERE.

The designer paper I chose to use is Daisy D's and I have used Tim Holtz distress ink to distress the edges as well as paper piecing the digi dress image.  Another technique used is faux stitching around the outside edge. 

Now, I'd like to tell you about the upcoming 'schedule of events' at Sugar Creek Hollow.

March 5 - Tracy, our wonderful owner has put together a lovely package of blog candy that could be yours so just head to the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge blog on March 5th and follow the instructions.  The winner will be chosen on March 31st.  Here's a peek at the goodies . . .
March 12 - the first Guest Designer chosen from our Cards of the Week will join us.
March 19 - we are having a blog hop with prizes to be won on each designer’s blog as well as a grand prize on the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge blog.
March 26 - we are having a contest to name a new image.
More details on all the activities will follow but make sure you mark your calendar so you don’t miss out on any of the fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and sharing in my excitement!  Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs,
Darlene

    This is so beautiful Darlene! It just makes me wish I could put this frock on and wear it to a grand ball! I love the paper piecing and especially the paper you've used. Yellow is my favorite color and this gorgeous paper really attracts my eye with its pink roses and how you've perfectly picked up the colors with your accent cardstock. Very elegant. It's so fun having you as a guest designer - I love your work.
    Hugs,
    Sharon
