Summer Break Anything Goes Challenge

09:00 Vannessa 3 comments

Good morning to all our Paper Shelter fans! Today's challenge brings both of the teams together for our annual summer break challenge, which lasts for 4 weeks. This is so our DT members can have a break from their DT duties and have some extra time to spend with their friends and family. Because of this, they will not be commenting on any entries, but we will be taking a peek at them all. This time our challenge is an Anything Goes challenge, so you can use any image, any theme and anything you want! 


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

A Well Earned Break Challenge

The lucky person chosen by Random Org is:

Challenge #563 - A Well Earned Break

09:00 Linda Mc Enery 2 comments

 Good Morning everyone!

Life can be so all-encompassing and busy, and if you're anything like me, you actually need to remind yourself to slow down and enjoy life, along the way; to take in those special moments, and even have some FUN!

This week we're focusing on all those things you can do, to enjoy

A WELL EARNED BREAK

Any fun activity or hobby, any activity that we do, simply for the joy of it.  For me, that's a walk in nature or reading a good book.  Maybe for you, its your favourite sport, or gardening.  You get the picture.

Let's take a quick look at who has won last week's BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS challenge, before we get going:

Here are your random numbers:

Challenge #562 Birthday Celebrations

 Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome to this week's fun, new challenge!   

This week's challenge is …

Birthday Celebrations

You can create any project you like and can use any image as long as your project has a birthday theme to it, so think birthday cards, gift tags, decorated gift boxes or bags or even a handcrafted birthday present!  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 

Layer It Up Challenge

Congratulations to Alicia O'Bryant!

We now have a quicker way for you to claim your prize of 3 digi stamps from the Paper Shelter Store and this is by clicking on the Contact Link at the top of the blog. This will take you directly to a page for you to fill out with your choices.

Please can you also add Challenge #561 Layer It Up 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.

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 fabulously furry friends 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.

 Aren't Team B's projects all so gorgeous?! I love how many different images have been used on each of these cards. 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.

 Good Morning Paper Shelter followers!

We've clicked over into the second half of the year.  Can you believe it???  It feels like the year is just flying by, and I can barely catch my breath!  Thankfully, sitting down at my craft desk helps me to still my mind and focus.

This week we'd like you to
LAYER IT UP

We'd like to see lots of layers on your project, but even one extra layer will qualify.  NO SINGLE LAYER PROJECTS this week, please.
