Sugar Creek Hollow Week 42 & Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge: Anything Goes and Ribbon

Happy Pink Saturday Friends!!

Today I am doing another "Two in One" Post.

It is Week 42 at Sugar Creek Hollow...and we have an Excellent Challenge for you this week!!

We would love to see you create Gift Boxes, Gift Bags or Enclosures in a Vintage or Shabby Chic style.

This ties in so well with the "Anything goes and Ribbon challenge" that starts today at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  So I thought instead of two posts...I would do one.

I just love the little Christmas Gift bag that I created below!  It is Vintage, Shabby and for one of my favorite online Peeps!  Actually I call her my BOLB (bestest on line buddy).  She knows who she is...so I don't have to mention that...LOL.  I was trying to think of what to make her...and I was SOOO happy when she "Sticky Noted" my Mitten Ornament....so I took it out of my etsy shop..and will be sticking it in this little gift bag :0).  

There are so many goodies on this little creation that I want to share with you!

Lets start out with the fabulous vintage post card from Gecko Galz!!  I just LOVE this month's sets of vintage post cards...Leanne really out did herself this month!!  I used one of the digital papers from last month's digital paper pack, to create my little text boxes.

I used a lot of goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon!!  Bonnie has the shabbiest ribbon assortment out this month!!  

I used the Pink and white polka dot ribbon and aqua diamond from the December KOTM as well as the  white pom pom trim and chocolate & marshmallow candi and candi foam dots.  The chocolate & marshmallow candies look like little brads....I LOVE them!!

Here you can see the sweet little text boxes I made with the Gecko Galz Digi Paper and vintage post card image.  I started off with a big bitty pink polka dot bag from RRR, used some more candi  and candi foam pads, and score tape to adhere everything together.  I embellished with my hand painted holly leaves, and moss green jute trim and May Arts moss green leaves trims all from RRR.

I inked all my edges with Ranger's Vintage photo distress inks.  I used a couple stamps from Gecko galz "Garden Mandela acrylic stamp set" a random pattern of snowflakes on the bag.  You can see one of them located at the center bottom of the bag below.

I used more ribbon from this months assortment, and some fushia curly ribbon and peppermint baker's twine as well as pink leaves all from RRR.

I also created a few ornaments for my tree.  I started out with some cut out shapes, painted them pink and then added some roses!

I used the fushia curly ribbon and new coral double faced satin ribbons to add some shabbiness to my Ornaments!!

 Well....I hope that one of these creations inspires you to come and play along at Sugar Creek Hollow or Really Reasonable Ribbon this week!!  Not only that ...if you use a Gecko Galz image or one from one of my collage sheets...you can take part in MY Challenge here...for a chance to win a $25.00 Gift Certificate to Gecko Galz!!

Also I want to let you know that we have a Guest Designer at SCH this week ....Jytte and it would be so sweet of you to stop by her blog and leave her some love!

Sugar Creek Hollow will be taking a break for the Holiday season, so this will be our last challenge of the year!  We will start back up on Saturday January 5th!!

I will be playing along in some challenges too!!
