Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I sincerely hope you all enjoyed taking part in our Blog Hop and believe me when I tell you there are 18 lucky winners of the free images from the Blog Hop comments, I will be writing up a separate post with them so I hope you will come back later to see if you were one of them. I know you are anxious to know who won the big prize for the Challenge but for now I'm going to keep you in suspension as I want to tell you what the theme is for the next 4 weeks during our Christmas break and that is

Anything Goes

and this means we will not be commenting on your entries as both Teams will be taking time out to spend valuable time with their families I sincerely hope you understand this and enjoy taking part in this theme as I know its a particular popular one with you all.

And now to announce the winner of the 10th Birthday Celebration Challenge and at the moment I don't know who that is I will go and do it by picking a winner by Random Org: keep your fingers crossed its someone who has used on of our images on their card so that they win the $100. prize.

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.
 
As this is the last Challenge for this year both the A and B Teams have come together to host this Challenge and I want to thank Marie for allowing me to purloin her team and to thank them all for working with me and for producing some really beautiful and stunning cards and projects. I also want to thank my own Team for all their hard work to as without both Teams we wouldn't be able to produce this blog post and now for the big reveal.


 
I know that a lot more of you are taking part in our Challenges now and using The Paper Shelter Images and I know that Veronica is grateful and is thrilled to see what you create with them so I sincerely hope that you will stay with us and come back in 2021 and carry on doing so and enjoying it to as much as we do and taking part in this "Anything Goes" one to.
