Good Morning Paper Shelter followers!

While all our Northern Hemisphere followers are celebrating the arrival of Spring, those of us in the Southern Hemisphere are welcoming Autumn, and it's a time of year I love! Cooler weather and stunning colours. It always makes me think of stomping through Autumn leaves, feeling like a child, in the best possible way.

So with that in mind, this week we'd like you to create something

FOR A CHILD

The team have created a stunning showcase of Paper Shelter images for this theme, but first, let's congratulate our winner from last week's

Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome to this week's new challenge! This week's challenge is all about different shaped cards, not your usual squares or rectangles. We can't wait to see what shapes and designs you all come up with!

This week's challenge is …

Colours of Spring

You can create any project you like and can use any image as long as your project uses the colours of Spring, so think greens, pinks, yellows, blues, purples and so on. We can't wait to see what you create for our challenge this time.

Team B have made a fantastic collection of cards and projects this time. The DT members have all used so many different, gorgeous images for inspiration as well. Be sure to click on their blog links to find out more about each of the projects and the digi stamps they have used too.

Before I share their cards though, I'm sure you are eager to know who won our

Please can you also add Challenge #545 Add A Tag Winner in your subject line so that it makes it easier for Veronica to see your choices. Please can you also make sure you claim your prize by this coming weekend.

As always for this week's challenge our sponsors are The Paper Shelter and they are generously offering a really fabulous prize of $30 to spend in their store.

I know that you have heard this before, but this amazing prize 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 it's still worth taking part in our challenge.

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, which is just fantastic!

You can enter up to three projects but one of these must show one of our products please; its only fair you do so.

Please make sure your project is a new project for this challenge and not one that has been entered in previous challenges. No backlinking please.

Now for Team B and their absolutely wonderfully cold cards this week, I know you will love them and I'm sure you will find lots of inspiration from them for your own cards and projects.

Vannessa using Spring Swing

Anet using Daisies On My Hat

Dewi using Charmy Bunny

Priyadarshini using Queen Bee

Maria Tinyworks using: Charming Spring Girl

Patsy using In Bloom

Natascha using A Green Thumb

Nicola and Merja are both taking a break this week, but will be back with us for Team B's next challenge.

Aren't Team B's projects all so gorgeous?! I love how so many different things we all love have been used - the designs of every project are just so fabulous! Well done Team B and thank you so much for creating all these fabulous projects.

Don't forget if there is a image which the Team have used above on their card which you would like to use for your own, don't forget to click on the "Using" link above each of the cards and it will take you directly to the webpage where you will be able to buy it. They really are fabulous value too.

Please don't forget, if you wish to take part in the challenge, that you are allowed to enter up to 3 projects, but please can you make sure that you add one of our products to at least one of your entries. If you don't, unfortunately, you will not be eligible for any of the prizes.

And now it's over to you to show us what you can do with this week's challenge theme "Colours of Spring". We are all looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.
