We have a long weekend here and the weather is glorious so we will be getting the patio furniture down and moving a few perennials around. I also have my husband convinced to help go through all the clothes closets and dresser drawers and pitch everything that hasn't been worn for a few years. That means this is the weekend I finally admit that I am not as small as I used to be and will never be again. My closet will be bare at the end of this exercise so I hope he is prepared for the fact that a shopping trip is in my near future.
It's time for another challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow. This week we want you to channel your more frilly side and make vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards with PEARLS & SWIRLS.
One random winner will be chosen to receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display. The Design Team will select their Top Pick and the creator will receive a winner's badge and will be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.
There is more exciting Design Team news to share this week. First, Heather Hudson is joining our team today so please welcome her and check out her blog where you will be treated to some fabulous eye candy.
Secondly Amelia Breytenbach is joining us this week as a Guest Designer. Amelia was chosen from the March Top Picks. You will want to visit her blog and feast your eyes on her wonderful projects.

What a pretty card! I really love the background paper. Beautiful colors and you've really enhanced that background with your choice of embellishments. The little pearl bling really is outstanding! I love your layered flower, too! And...your vintage stamped image you've colored is done perfectly to coordinate with your card. Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
