This week's Pals Paper Arts Elements of Style Challenge (PPA58) is about creating a clean and simple look with a splash of pearls. You can even improvise with brads or something fun and shimmery like Smooch Spritz. Click here to see the PPA Design Team's Pearl-y Projects and play along!

No one inspires clean and chic styling like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey's simple look was translated into my non-traditional holiday color combo and dotted with an abundance of pearls. What do you think?

Gorgeous projects! Love the colours and pearls!
What a cute set, Mary! I LOVE the little milk carton and, of course, the pearl embellishments! Great colors, too!
I’m always amazed at how you manage to make clean designs have so much “presence.” You just have a knack for designing! Love the non-traditional colours and your use of pearls š
