Well done and congratulations Mian if you click on the email 
elf in the left hand bar it will give you the email address you 
need to contact to receive your prize of 3 digi images.

And this weeks Challenge is going to be the last till the 9th of January as we feel it would be a good thing to give the girls a break and time to not only spend time with their families but also to recoup their energies ready for the New Year. I have already said that its a "Anything Goes" Challenge and I know its a real favourite of all of us so theres likely to be a big entry for it and in this instance there will be no comments left so please dont think we dont appreciate you taking part but we really are going to take a break from that to.

As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. 


to spend on their website, and if you go and visit now you will have the chance of buying all their Christmas Images and Papers at a reduced prize, so now is the perfect time for you to stock up with them while they are such brilliant value. Dont forget if you use one of their products on your card you will receive the whole prize of $30. but even if you dont you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice.
And now weve reached the point that I love and enjoy and we are lucky this time to have not only two Guest Designers but Marie (B Team Leader) also joining us, and I do so want you to take time to visit all the girls and leave them some love, not only to wish them a Very Happy Christmas but also to thank them for all their hard work for you during this Year.




























Now that youve seen what stunning cards the girls have created for your inspiration I do hope that you will now take part in our "Anything Goes" Challenge. I also want to apologise for the length of this post and the very last thing is I want to Wish You All A Very Happy Christmas and Im looking forward to seeing you all back here on the 9th of January with a brand new challenge.   Hugs Shirley, Marie and Girlsxxxxx

Not only are they offering the usual $30. Gift Voucher and as always this is providing you have used one of their products on your card, for the Challenge, but also 1 digi image for each of the stops on the Blog Hop, and that my friend is 18 chances of winning a digi image of your own choice, I think you will love what my fellow Team Members have created for you and I know you will want to leave them a comment, and its from these that they will pick a winner so its upto you to visit each and everyone of them for that chance.
But before I do that you will want to know who won last weeks "Christmas is Coming" Challenge, and what a fabulous response we had for it to there was almost 200 entries, and that lucky person chosen by random org is :-

Well done and congratulations Mary if you click on the email

Its been a wonderful journey working with The Paper Shelter over the past 2 years and they have given us such stunning and beautiful images to play with, and this is our way of thanking them for being such fabulous sponsors.
Both Marie and I have enjoyed running the Challenge Blog and looking after both Teams and I do hope you have enjoyed seeing what stunning work the girls have done with their images, papers and printables. I also want to say that two of the girls were unable to take part due to personal reasons so I want to send my love to Shirin and Tracey and hope that their present circumstances soon improve.
And now I will give you the list of all those taking part, I know its a long list and this is the reason why its being held over two weeks, you dont necessarily need to visit them all in one go but do try to get around as many as you can as it increases the chances of winning one of the prizes. And to start the Blog Hop is myself


And now to wet your appetite I will show you Marie's and my Card just to get you in the mood.
   




I do hope that you enjoy this Blog Hop and come back on the 19th December to see who the lucky winners are, Im sure you will love the cards as Ive been lucky to see what beautiful ones the girls have made. And before I go Marie and I want not only to thank Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter for giving us such wonderful creations to play with and to wish them a very Happy 2nd Birthday, but also both of us want to thank all the girls for all their hard work in getting their cards made ready for this event.

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:

Challenge # 90 - Easel card with X-mas theme

09:00 Cards By MI 4 comments

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. Please check the post before this one to find the code and what you need to do to get the discount.


We have a winner from last weeks challenge as well and that is number 31,  Jan Farnworth. Your card is lovely! Congratulations! You have won the gift voucher worth $30! So you have a lovely stash of TPS images of your choice coming your way! Enjoy your winnings. Just click the e-mail elf and he takes you to the Paper Shelter where Veronica is waiting to help you sort out your prize. Congrats once again!

To have the same great winnings as Jan here did, use a TPS image on your creation. Playing with another brand is giving you the chance to win 3 (three) digis of your choice, not too bad that either.So here comes this weeks inspiration for you all and hope to see you back soon with some creations for our challenge!

Love n hugs
Marie and the B-team gals with guests

Challenge #89 - "Fairies and Elves"

09:00 Nannieflash 3 comments

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:-

Well done and congratulations Danielle if you click on the email
elf on the left hand bar it will give you the email address you
need to contact to receive your prize of 3 digi images.

And as usual our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter, and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.


But as always there is a rule, you must use one of their products on your card either a Image, Papers or Printable, and believe me when I say they do have a brilliant selection for you to choose from please do give them a visit and browse for yourself. But even if you dont  use one you will still win 3 digi images of your own choice, you couldnt ask for anything better could you? And dont forget if you enter more than once you are only allowed three entries and one of those MUST have a TPS image on it.

And now I want to bring you the beautiful and stunning cards my Design Team have created for you and I do hope that you will give their blogs a visit and leave them some love for all their hard work. I want to thank them also for their support in keeping this Challenge Blog one of the best on the net.
