My first post as a TPS Design Team Member

Well this is an exciting post for me as it is my first one as Design Team member for The Paper Shelter.

The challenge for this week is 'Pearls'...not too difficult for you all.  

Also remember there are great prizes up for grabs!  If you play with a TPS image there is a chance of winning a $30 gift certificate and if you play with a different brand image then you have a chance of winning three digis of your choice.

I have used TPS Angel (I fell in love with her the moment I saw her) for my very first DT Creation.
