Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers I hope you wont be put of by the theme title and if I'm really honest with you originally I had it down as more than 1 fold but I discovered that I had already used that one in September so I quickly changed it to "More than 1 of Anything" and this means anything you add to your card be it Images, Backing Papers, Embellishments the choice is completely yours but it must be more than ONE, just let us know what it is please.
Anyway I had better stop rabbiting on as our dog is off to the Groomers for a bath and clip today and I had better get a move on, but before I do I know that you will want to know who won last weeks "Christmas is Coming" and that lucky person chosen by Random Org is:-

Challenge #271 - A Card for a Child

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers I hope you all managed to cope with the changes of the clock last weekend, I always find that the poor dog has more of a problem with it than us humans but as shes very time orientated I'm not surprised really everything she does is ruled by the time of day.
Anyway I hope you are ready for this weeks Challenge as we have a new Team member on the A Team and I'm sure you will be delighted with her stunning card, but this weeks theme is all about creating "A Card for a Child" and this can be anything you like I leave the choice of theme entirely up to you.
But before I go any further I'm sure you will want to know who the lucky person chosen by Random Org was for last weeks "Pearls" Challenge, and that person was :-

so that it makes it easier for Veronica to see which Challenge your claim is

for, also you must make sure you claim your prize by Saturday this week

As I have already hinted we have a brand new Team Member and that very talented design is Danny and she has been a very loyal follower of The Paper Shelter for quite awhile and even won a couple of Challenges along the way, and as I have also some very sad news to tell you that one of our long time Team Members Judith has had to step down for now due to family problems, I rather snapped up the chance to ask Danny if she would like to join the A Team in her place, and fortunate for us she agreed, and so without further ado here are the stunning cards the girls have come up with this week.

Shirley

Marianne

Monique

I always enjoy looking at the DT blog when the girls have uploaded their cards and are always astounded at the designs and layouts that the team come up with and this week I must admit that the cards are just out of this world and any child would love them. So I hope that you will decide to take part in this "A Card for a Child" Challenge and we look forward to seeing your creations.
