# 15 - Make Your Own Designer Paper

This week at Sugar Creek Hollow we are asking you to MAKE YOUR OWN DESIGNER PAPER.  Your vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards must feature at least one piece of designer paper that you have created yourself.  You can make it using any technique or tool you wish but you must tell us what you did in your post.

We will choose one random winner who will 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.

We are pleased to welcome Kimberly Morrow as our Guest Designer this month and she was chosen from the April Top Picks.
All of our designers this week have created some wonderful inspiration for you and if you want the details, just click on their name and you will be taken directly to their blogs.
