# 59 - Numbers & Letters & Announcements

It is Saturday again and that means a new challenge here at Sugar Creek Hollow but before I tell you about the challenge, I have some announcements to share with you.

First we are sad to say goodbye to two more of our designers.  Patti Painter and Heather Hudson are leaving our team after this challenge and they and their fabulous creations will be missed.  We wish them all the best and look forward to checking out their blogs - our designers are friends and are never able to make a clean getaway :)

We have three new designers joining our team and their first challenge will be next week so please make them welcome - they are:


And the final bit of news is that beginning next week, May 4th, our challenges will be running every two weeks so you have more time to show us your creations.

Now on to our challenge, which is called NUMBERS & LETTERS.  We want to see vintage or shabby chic cards or other paper-crafted projects featuring numbers and letters in any form.

Provided we have at least nine entries in the challenge we will choose one random winner who will receive a digi of our choice along with a winner's badge to display. The Design Team will choose their Top Pick and that creator will receive a winner's badge and also be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.

The Design Team has created wonderful inspiration for you so check out the details by clicking on their name and you will be taken directly to their blog.

    Winners - #55 - Fairy Tales & Nursery Rhymes

    I apologize for the delay in posting the winners for last week but we have a rule that we only select winners when we have a minimum of 9 entries and since we only had 6 entries, I needed to confer with the sponsor to let them decide if they wanted us to select winners anyway.  Our sponsor, A Day for Daisies is most generous and instructed us to go ahead so here are the winners:

    The random winner of a $12 gift certificate to go shopping at A Day for Daisies is JOAN W.  Joan will also receive a winner's badge from Sugar Creek Hollow.

    The Design Team has chosen this altered book project by SUZANNE as their Top Pick.  Suzanne will receive a winner's badge and will be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.


    Congratulations ladies and please email Cec to claim your prizes.
