So here comes the cards and creations from my team. Hope you will enjoy your "stay" here with us this week.
Good Morning Crafters, well the wet weather seems to have crept back here where I am, we dont seem to have many dry days do we, and we are expecting a load of scaffolding to be erected around our house any day now and I suspect they will use the rain as a excuse not to. Anyway todays challenge is all about "Birthdays" some of you may know that I have a extra big one coming next Monday and Im a bit to embarrassed to say out load exactly what it is as it makes me sound so old. Never mind my insecurities Im sure you will make some fabulous cards all the same.
But before I go any further you will want to know who the lucky person is who won last weeks "Easel Card with a Christmas theme" and that person picked by random org is:

As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter, and as it their 2nd Birthday in two weeks time we shall be holding a special event with both teams so keep your eyes open for that, it will be on the 3rd December. Anyway The Paper Shelter have a fabulous prize to give away and that is a voucher for $30.
but as always this is providing you have used one of their products on your card, it could be an image, any of their papers or even their printables all of these are available here, and they are so reasonable in price, plus which they are always updating their catalogue so you never will be stuck for an image for a theme ever again. But even if you dont use one of their products they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice, so you really carnt loose. Also you are only allowed 3 entries and one of those must carry a TPS product, please remember this.

Good morning and welcome to us here at the Paper Shelter. Hope your week has been the most wonderful one and that you are ready for a new challenge from us here at the Shelter. This week we are doing Easel cards with a Christmas theme. Fun and useful right? When my kids saw me making mine for this challenge, they wanted to try as well. So three days with easel cards are now over as I refuse to have them both in my crafting room at the same time. LoL
I have lost a few of my designers (sobbing here) lately and have now managed to find the most wonderful guest designers that has promised to stay on to the end of February next year. Sounds forever, right? LoL But the fact is that it's only one month and 10 days before Christmas today and we have some lovely challenges coming up during this time, so stay with us. Back to my newly found members; please give a warm welcome to Lucy from Australia and Wendy from South Africa. A big welcome to my team. You have no idea how happy I am to have you with me.
My "old" teamies has also been doing their magic as you will see in the end of the post. Lots of inspiration for you all for this challenge. :) But we seem to have a special love for the Carol Singers here on the team. LoL You have to get over to the TPS store as well as there is a sale going on. A coupon to use that gives you a fairly good discount on your purchase.

Good Morning Crafters, brrrr the weather is starting to get colder and Monday night we had a real hard frost, but I thought that we would try and bring you just a bit of summer warmth for probably the last time this year and for this weeks Challenge we want to see your "Fairies and Elves" on your cards, and I know there are lots images around for you to choose from especially from The Paper Shelter, though one of my team got her wires crossed this week (can you find her) and has used Father Christmas instead though her redeeming thought at the time was "Santa's little Helpers (Elves)" but realised she picked the wrong image, never mind I hope you play along with us anyway and smile at her mistake.
But before I go any further you will want to know who won last weeks "Anything Goes" Challenge, and WOW what a response my fellow Team Leader Marie will be so happy she had over 200 entries, well done, anyway that lucky person picked by random org is:-
