Good morning and welcome to a new challenge here over at the Paper Shelter. This week's theme is

Use that ribbon!

And now I have some more sad news to tell you, our very long standing Design Team member Carol has had to step down and this is because her Cake Decorating business has really taken of and she couldnt find the time she wanted for her DT work, so we all want to wish her all the very best in her new business adventure and Im sure you will still see her work either on Facebook or even on her blog. And to take her place on the Team we have been lucky to have a very talented Lady join us and that is Marianne and we want to welcome her and I sincerely hope that you will pay her blog "Cards by Marianne" a visit and leave some of your very wonderful love you extend to us.
As usual this is the part of the Challenge Post I love the best and that is to show you what the Girls have been up to, this week they have excelled we have some really "Fabulous" male cards to show you and I do want to thank them all so much for all their hard work as without you I just wouldnt have such a brilliant Team.
