Hi and very happy to be here with a little inspiration for the new challenge at sugar creek hollow...this time we are working with fibers and textures...i decided to think outside the box and make a vintage pincusion...this is a little 9 patch that i cut into a heart and stuffed...then i altered it a bit to have that shabby vintage feel...wish i had more pics but my camera just died...lol hope you enjoy and join in the fun this time at sugar creek hollow...

I love these fabrics from fig tree...i also made a little hand made flower at the top left out of fabric and batting....

Something new....

Hi and very happy to be here with the new challenge at sugar creek hollow...this time the challenge is to create something new...recently i have been very intrigued with december daily's and life books...so before christmas i purchased a simple stories album and it came with some photo pages and collage pages...i wanted to do a book for the entire month of december but i just couldn't get it all together so i decided to try and do the 12 days of christmas...leading upto christmas...what fun i have had with this project...and new it is to me...i have done all my own photo collages online and printed them out through the computer...wow what fun... i have also used only things i have on hand...my own papers etc...nothing is bought i made the pages etc...you have to try this these scrap books are wonderful to chronicle life events or just life in general.... 

this is day 4...i hope you enjoy i cannot wait to see all the amazing projects you all create....
