Christmas Challenge - "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Fellow Paper Shelter Followers, wow what a fabulous Celebration Blog Hop and Challenge we have just had, and I want to thank all those that took part in not only the Hop but also the Challenge. I will be announcing the winners of the free images probably in the next couple of days as I need to get all the winners together first from the Design Teams and then I can announce them to you, I hope you will be patient till then.
Firstly I want to say that the Challenge this time is a "Anything Goes" one and it will carry over for 3 weeks as the girls obviously want to spend some time with their families and so we will not be having them comment on your entries, I hope you understand and wish them all a Wonderful Christmas as Marie and I would want to wish you the same.
But before I forget (there is so much to remember this time) you will want to know who won our Blog Hop "Special Celebration" Challenge and the lucky person chosen by Random Org is

Well done Jac and congratulations and we now have a quicker method

for you to collect your prize and that is by clicking on the "Contact Tab" at the

Top on the Tabs Bar it will give you a form to fill up with your choice

3 digi images and can you make sure you put Challenge #184 in the subject bar

 and please also dont forget to add your email address to make it easier

                         for Veronica to sort out your images and get them to you quickly.

Marie and I have been so lucky to be one of the people who helped to start this wonderful Challenge Blog 4 years ago when Veronica and Pedro launched their stunning images, and its been a real privilege to be part of their Team, as they are the most generous people I know and are really a pleasure to work with and to celebrate this event we decided to do something different and so this is why we are hosting a Blog Hop for everyone who's been involved in making this such a brilliant success and to thank you for your support in making it so.
And now for more information about how you can win one of the free images that are on offer, and to start with we are still running a "Special Celebration" Challenge for you to win the main prize of $30.

and as always this is given when you have used one of The Paper Shelter products on your card and this could be either a image, paper or printable and you will find a very comprehensive selection here on their website, but even if you have not they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice. And please remember that you are only able to enter 3 cards and at least one of those must carry one of our TPS products.
And the difference for this Blog Hop is that we are also giving away a free image with every visit you make along the hop, and this is because we are running a two week "Special Celebration" Challenge and both Design Teams will be taking part and they are going to be picking a winner from all the comments that are left on their blogs after the Challenge has finished on the 16th December.
I should also say that the theme "Special Celebration" can include any sort of celebration, birth, engagement, wedding, anniversary, birthday, driving test, exam or even collecting your certificate on graduation the choice is up to you. If you would prefer not to take part in the Blog hop we shall be thrilled for you to take part in just the Challenge and look forward to seeing your entry.
I am only going to show you my card and Marie's as I thought it would be a lovely surprise for you to see what the rest of the girls have created for you as you go along the hop, and believe me they have done us proud and I want to thank them all for all their hard work making them and getting their blogs all scheduled on time to make this blog hop run smoothly. Anyway that's enough of my chatting here we go lets launch it.

Challenge 184 - Metal somewhere

"Metal somewhere"

That means we want to see your brads (real ones not fake ones), eyelets, metal corners and stuff like that. Colouring with a metal marker does not count as metal or using an image with a car or something like that. All entries that doesn't follow our rules will be deleted, ok?
.If it's hard to see what part is metal, please do tell where you put your link to our challenge blog. Like for example, I would have to tell that the small soccer ball is a metal brad other wise you would not know. Ok?

Wow! That's a long explaination for a simple theme. However, I have see that many isn't really reading what the theme is and only goes on what the wonderful people over at Paper playful say. However just like they say, just like we say. You need to read and respect the challenge blog and the theme set.

We also need a winner from last weeks challenge, and Mr Random has been kind and helped us out once again. The lucky winner of the weeek is...
