Challenge #621 - Winter Blues

09:00 Linda Mc Enery No comments

 Good Morning everyone, and WELCOME BACK!

I hope you've had a super festive season and got to spend special moments with your loved ones.

We're thrilled to kick off the new year with our first challenge, and we'd also like to introduce 4 new DT members, joining us from today.  It's always sad to say goodbye to team members, but we send off those ladies leaving us, with our very best wishes, and warmly welcome our new ladies.  We know you'll find wonderful inspiration in what our new ladies create this year.

Please welcome Kitty, Helen, Jenn and Gale to the team.

Our theme for the very first challenge of 2025 is:
WINTER BLUES

Those of you in the Northern hemisphere will be experiencing deep Winter right now, but hopefully not feeling blue about it.  This week's project can be either WINTER themed, and/or you can use shades of BLUE on your project.  

You can see what the team, along with our new ladies, have created for this theme below, but let's first name our lucky winner from our CHRISTMAS BREAK CHALLENGE:

Here are your random numbers:

Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and fans! We all hope you loved our tribute post for our beloved Veronica and thank you to everyone for your condolences too. All of the DTs cards were so beautiful and touching. 

Our challenge this time, hosted by both teams, is our annual Christmas Break challenge, which will last for four weeks. This is an Anything Goes challenge and we would love to see anything you want to create be it Christmas, winter, birthday, a thank you card or anything else you choose to make!

To give all of our DT time to spend with their family and friends this festive period, there will be no commenting on your entries, but be assured we will all be looking at your fabulous entries!

But before we show all the amazing DT cards and projects, I know you want to know who has won the Tribute Challenge.


Here are your random numbers:

6

Congratulations to Beebeebabs!

You have won 6 products of your choice from The Paper Shelter store.

And here is the beautiful card that Beebeebabs made for our challenge using the gorgeous Giselle.


To claim your prize just click on the CONTACT tab at the top of the page, which will take you to a form where you can list your choices from The Paper Shelter store. Please include "Tribute Challenge Winner" to help Pedro spot your choices, and please make sure you claim your prize by this coming weekend.

And now on to our final challenge of 2024!

Our usual fantastic prize will be up for grabs: 6 digital products from our generous sponsor The Paper Shelter, to spend in their store.


I know that you have heard this before, but this amazing prize will only be given if you have used one of our products on your card which could be either an image, paper or printable. 

However, even if you haven't used an item from The Paper Shelter and you are picked as a winner you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice, so I'm sure you will agree that it's still worth taking part in our challenge. 

So many more of you are actually using The Paper Shelter items in your creations so a lot more winners are now winning the 6 digital products, which is just fantastic!

You can enter up to three projects but one of these must show one of our products please; its only fair you do so. 

Please make sure your project is a new project for this challenge and not one that has been entered in previous challenges. No backlinking please. 

Everyone at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you all again on January 15th when Team A return with their new challenge.
