Challenge #371 - Things that Fly

09:00 Nannieflash 26 comments

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, here in the UK its been reasonably mild for last week and first thing in the morning the blackbirds are singing extremely early here, I imagine they are setting up their territories ready for getting ready to build their nests. We are lucky to have a pair that nest in the hedge in our garden and have been turning the moss on own grass not only finding goodies to eat but also for building the nest.
Anyway I suppose I must have had this in mind when I chose this weeks theme

Things that Fly

and this can mean anything that you can see in the sky these days, planes, birds, kites, butterflies and even drones and of course those young men and girls who like to take their bikes and motor bikes over those hair raising jumps so there is lots of scope for you to pick your own image to play with.
To start this post of I know the most important thing to let you know is who won our last weeks "Letters or Numbers" Challenge was, and the lucky person chosen by Random Org is:-

However, even if you haven't used an item from The Paper Shelter and you are picked as a winner you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice so I'm sure you will agree that its still worth taking part in our Challenges. So many more of you are actually using The Paper Shelter items in your creations so a lot more winners are now winning the whole $30 to spend.  You can enter up to three projects but one of these must carry one of our products please, its only fair you do so.

Now to show you what the Design Team have been creating for this weeks theme, I hope you like what you see, and Im sure that they will inspire you to have a go. Before you do I must let you know that Anna is unable to take part in this weeks Challenge due to family problems, I want to wish her all the best and hope that she manages to deal with them as best as she can.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, as we are almost near February 14th, Valentines Day I thought the theme for this week should be

and this leaves it open to those who don't have a partners or are married, I felt it should leave it open for you to pick someone who is very special to you and make them that Very Special Card, Ive even sent one to my daughters in the past when they've been on their own so the choice of precipitant is up to you discretion. 
To start this post of I know the most important thing to let you know is who won our last weeks "Dies or Punches" Challenge was, and the lucky person chosen by Random Org is:-
