Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well I sincerely hope you all enjoyed our Birthday Blog Hop because  I will be back later with the list of the people whose comments won our free images, and to start of our very last Challenge of the year the theme will be


Anything Goes

and because this is likely to be a very busy one and of course the Design Teams will want to spend time with their families over the Christmas holiday we wont be commenting on your cards or projects, I hope that you will understand why this is.
My first job will be to announce the winner of the Blog Hop "Birthdays/Celebrations" Challenge and that lucky person chosen by random org is:-

Congratulations Tracey M and well done. We now have a quicker way for you
to claim your prize and that is by clicking on the "Contact" tab at the top of the Blog where you will find a form that you can add your choice of  3 digi images.
Please also add you email address and Blog Hop Challenge in
the subject line 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 always our sponsors for this Challenge are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a really fabulous prize of $30 to spend at their store.  


I know that you have heard this before, but this will only be given if you have used one of our products on your card which could be either an Image, Paper or Printable. 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.

Over the last 9 years its been a my great privilege to host with my fellow Team Leader Marie these weekly Challenges and its been wonderful to see how well you all have enjoyed using the images created by The Paper Shelter and to also see the entries have also increased for our Challenges using our images and of course the winners of these have received the full $30 prize, well done and congratulations and even if some of you still haven't used our products of course you still get the 3 digi images of your own choice.

Before I go any further I want to say a huge thank you to both the Design Teams and to Marie for all their hard work over the last two Challenges because without them we wouldn't have been able host anything and I think you especially readers have thoroughly enjoyed visiting each of the teams blogs to see and leave your comments I'm sure like myself you have been blown away at how stunning the cards and projects were, of course the girls will now pick a winner from their comments and I will be back as soon as I can to announce the lucky winners so just be a little patient. 
Now for the big reveal of both Teams cards I'm sure like me you are going to love them.

Don't forget we will not be commenting on your entries as its not only a "Anything Goes" theme which means its likely to be a very busy time for our Design Team coping with their families so they are taking a break from it also we expect lots of entries from you all, but please don't forget you are allowed to enter 3 projects but one of these must also use one of our products, its only fair. Also if there is a image you yourself would like to use if you click on the "Using" links above each of the cards it will take you directly to the web page to allow you to buy it.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well this weeks Challenge is a very special one as The Paper Shelter has now reached its 9th Birthday and each year as a special treat we invite



everyone to celebrate with us, and both the Design Team A&B are not only hosting our usual Challenge which will follow the theme

Birthday / Celebrations
REMEMBER! 
You don't have to take part in the blog hop to join in the challenge

(the theme is to combine not only Birthdays but also a Special Occasion like a Christmas Card to someone special or a even a Celebration) but also to invite you to join in on our Blog Hop which will take place over the next two weeks, though its not compulsory for you to actually take part in the Blog Hop if you would prefer not to, but if you wish to stand a chance of winning one of the 20 free images we are giving away you will need to do so, this is our way of thanking you all and this can be achieved by leaving a comment on each of the Design Teams blogs but you know what they say "You need to be in it to win it" but the choice is yours.
But I must not get ahead of myself as I'm sure you will want to know who won our last weeks "Blast from the Past" Challenge set by Marie and that lucky person chosen by Random org is:-

 This part of the post is slightly different to the usual as we shall be only be showing Marie's (B Team Leader) and my own Cards here and to see the rest of the Design Teams Cards you will need to take part in the Blog Hop itself, but as Ive already explained its not compulsory to do so but you do stand a better chance of winning one of our gorgeous images as each of the blog stops we will be giving One Image away after the Hop has finished. And we have 20 images to give and this is done by each of the blogs picking their winner from their comments left for their cards. And believe me you will be missing some really stunning cards if you don't take part.   
To help you along the way I will list all the blogs in order below my own card so that if you find that when you get to the next person on the Hop and the Blog is missing you can return to the Challenge Blog here and then restart by picking up the next stop on your way. 
But before I do that I want to thank everyone who has taken part in our Challenges over not only the last year but also in the past and for making The Paper Shelter such a great success, and a Big Thank You also to both The Design Teams for working with me and creating such stunning cards and especially to Marie who has worked with me for the last 9 years as well, and a very Special Thank You to Veronica and Pedro for all their hard work and generosity in creating the images we have the Joy to receive and Play with.
And now is the Time to set the Blog Hop in motion, have fun and enjoy visiting the Design Teams and I'm sure you to will be blown away by their stunning Cards:-



I sincerely hope that you enjoy our Blog Hop and I wish you good luck in winning one of the Images that are on offer to you, and to finish off we have one last one to give away and that's here on the Challenge Blog, this will be picked from the comments left on here which I hope you will leave once you have taken part in the Blog Hop, I do hope that you will come back and do so and Thank you all for taking part. 

I will be back once the Hop is over on the 18th to give the list of all the Image winners so don't forget to return then to see if you've been one of the lucky winners.


REMEMBER! 
You don't have to take part in the blog hop to join in the challenge.

Now for the good news and that is that Patty Sue has returned and we are so glad to welcome her back she has been with The Paper Shelter for many years and it was sad circumstances that forced her to take some time out to spend with her family, although her grandson is now progressing well unfortunately the same cannot be said about her hubby who is still having lots of health problems but she assures me that being back on the Team again will help with coping so Welcome Back Patty we are so glad to see you back.
