This week, the design team is asking you to create an Ode to Mom. Mother's Day is right around the corner, so lets show mom how much we love her with a handmade creation. There are lots of Mother's Day themed images in the shop so be sure and take a look at the astounding selection.

If you enter the challenge and you used a Paper Shelter image, and you are randomly selected in the drawing, you could win a $15.00 gift certificate to The Paper Shelter shop. If your creation is randomly selected, but you did not use a Paper Shelter image, you could still win your choice of one digi image from The Paper Shelter shop! Isn't that great!? That means that everyone can play!

Let's take a look at the stunning cards that our design team has created to put you in a crafting frame of mind.

This week, we are challenging you to create a card Inspired by Nature. It's officially Spring in many places and the world is just beginning to wake up from a long Winter's nap. Flowers are starting to bloom, the birds are chirping, the grass is turning green, and the sun is starting to warm up our days. Everywhere we look, Mother Nature has gifted us with something beautiful. Step outside, take a deep breath of fresh air, look around, and let the inspiration begin!

We've changed the rules beginning with this challenge, so listen closely. If you enter the challenge and you used a Paper Shelter image, and you are randomly selected in the drawing, you could win a $15.00 gift certificate to The Paper Shelter shop. If your creation is randomly selected, but you did not use a Paper Shelter image, you could still win your choice of one digi image from The Paper Shelter shop! Isn't that great!? That means that everyone can play!

New images are being added to the shop all the time, so check back frequently! Need an image for a last minute Easter or Spring card? Not a problem! Thinking about mom and need to get started on her card? Not a problem! The Paper Shelter has images for all of your card making and scrapbooking needs. Let's take a look at the scrumptious creations of the design team. Lots of lovely designs to put you in the crafty spirit.

Let's see your creations that are Inspired by Nature!

This week, we have a fabulous challenge for you! It's a sketch challenge and it was created by our very own wonderfully talented design team member, Kevin. Kevin has basically completed half the work for you by coming up with this awesome layout! Use a Paper Shelter image in your creation and you could be randomly selected to win a $15.00 gift certificate to spend in The Paper Shelter Shop. There is a lot to choose from, but luckily, $15.00 goes a long way at TPS!

Lots of new images are frequently being added to the shop. Stop by the shop and you'll find just what you need to finish your cards for Easter and Mother's Day!
