The team has some fabby shaped cards up for your inspiration, there is a few easel cards and a tag to take inspiration from as well. So get out of your comfort zone and do something a little different.

Thanks to all of you that played along with our "Charming challenge" last week. Lovely to see so many sweet and lovely cards. As always we have a winner to pick with the help of Mr Random, but before I get that done. As always you have the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30 if you play with any Paper Shelter product, in other words images, paper packs or any of the "cut and make" products available in the Paper shelter store. Playing with a different brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choice.

Well done and congratulations Elena and if you would like
to click on the email elf in the left hand side bar it will 
give you the email address you need to contact to receive 
your prize of 3 digi images and please dont forget to put Challenge
 #112 in the subject line so that it makes it easier to sort out.

And now for our fabulous sponsors they are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a brilliant prize of $30.


But as always this comes with the usual rule that you must use one of The Paper Shelter products on your card, this can be a image, paper or printable but even if you dont they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice. You really should pay them a visit and see for yourself what 
stunning products they have on offer, and often then have special offers so its worth a browse here and see for yourself, the exchange rate is very good so that makes them good value.

And now to show you what my girls have been up to, we unfortunately have two girls missing this week, Louise has one of her children down with Chicken pox and is very tired running around after him, and Janie I believe is suffering badly with her back at the moment so is unable to sit and work for any length of time, but we are very lucky to have our very talented Guest Designer with us this week and of course Im talking of Lorraine, so thank you so much for helping me out this week.



























Stunning cards arnt they Im so lucky to have such talented girls on my Design Team, and I want to thank them for all their hard work, especially as they must have such a busy lives away from their craft room. Anyway I sincerely hope that they have inspired you to take part in this weeks "Charming" Challenge and Im looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Challenge 112 - Anything goes

09:00 Cards By MI 6 comments

Challenge time again here at the Paper Shelter! How wonderful! We are making it really easy this week with a week of  "Anything Goes". You will only be getting one comment from the team this week as it's so many entries during these challenges, on the other hand you don't have to think so much about what you are creating for the challenge. But rude and nasty entries will not be commented on. We are family friendly here.

A big thank you to all that keep coming back for our challenges. It's such a joy to see all of your creations. It's always such inspiration to us all. And with that said I will also point out that it is important that you follow the theme set for our challenges to have a chance of winning our prizes. If we have a challenge called "one for the boyz" it's important that it shows that it is a card for a man or a boy. A card filled with flowers or other girly stuff doesn't go in to the draw if it doesn't say that it's for a  male gardener or what ever it can be, if you know what I mean. It has to show the theme, ok? Good! A card or creation not following our theme is not put into the prize draw. Just wanted to inform you of that. :) Now that it won't be a problem for this weeks challenge, but other challenges are waiting around the corner. LoL

The gift voucher

Our gift voucher is worth $30 and is for  those of you who plays with a Paper Shelter image and for you who doesn't three (3) digis of your choice is up for grabs. Such wonderful prizes, isn't it? And now we need a winner of last weeks challenge. We have a winner for you as well. As always drawn by Mr Random. He does his work every week, even if we have to sweet talk him from time to time. This week he has been good to us and picked number # 23, Mariannes Craftroom as our winner. Congratulations! You have won 3 digis of your choice.

Happy May everyone! Hope you have wonderful start of the new month and are ready for a new challenge here with us over at The Paper Shelter. I have been enjoying watching our followers increase during the last weeks and it's such a joy to see. Thank you to all of you and to all of you that keeps taking part in our challenges. It's such a joy to see all of your creations. And with that said I will also point out that it is important that you follow the theme set for our challenges to have a chance of winning our prizes. Last week we had the theme of "one for the boyz "and then it's important that it shows that it is a card for a man or a boy. A card or creation not following our theme is not put into the prize draw. Just wanted to inform you of that. :)

So, this weeks theme then. Music Maestro! Anything music related is what we want to see from you this week. Preferably a music related image, but some musical designer papers will also do or a musical charm. Being inspired by a song doesn't count as we want to see the music in your creation, ok?

The gift voucher

This week we are back with or normal gift certificate worth $30 if you play with a TPS image, and if you are looking for musical images, the Paper Shelter has quite a few of them. Both rock stars, dancers and even a sweet gal called Cecilia playing the cello. I and a few others of the teamies has used Cecilia for our creations this week. Another favourite of ours seems to the Rock star and the gypsy dancer. Hope you enjoy our inpirational cards.
