This is my first time playing along with Sugar Creek Hollow. I have never had much success at making it vintage. So when I saw the challenge this week was to
RE-PURPOSE PAPER TOWELS, TOILET PAPER OR COFFEE
FILTERS, instead of buying some designer paper for your project to transform it and incorporate it into your vintage, shabby chic or
primitive card or other paper-crafted project. For my vintage Christmas card I used a vintage looking paper napkin. I stained it with tea stain, added a piece of tea stained lacey ribbon, a couple of flowers I added some tea stain ink to as my embellishments. I stamped my sentiment from Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics stamp set and rubbed more tea stain ink into it, attached an anitque looking brad and called it all done! Hope you like it. I don't know how "vintage" it is in your eyes but I am pleased with the results.

Betty, I love your vintage card and it is very pretty. We are so glad to have you playing at Sugar Creek Hollow for the first time and hope you will be back again soon. That is a wonderful repurpose on that napkin and love your lace and trim and the sentiment is so perfect for this card. Love your punch and brad.
