Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and fans! We all hope you loved our Birthday Blog Hop and thank you to everyone who hopped all the way round. Please be sure to check out the winners blog post coming soon to see if you were a winner of a Paper Shelter digital stamp from one of your comments on the DT blogs.

Our challenge this time, hosted by both teams, is our annual Christmas Break challenge, which will last for four weeks. This is an Anything Goes challenge and we would love to see anything you want to create be it Christmas, winter, birthday, a thank you card or anything else you choose to make! 

To give all of our DT time to spend with their family and friends this festive period, there will be no commenting on your entries, but be assured we will all be looking at your fabulous entries! 

But before we show all the amazing DT cards and projects, I know you want to know who has won the Birthday Blog Hop Challenge.

Congratulations to Jinny! 

We now have a quicker way for you to claim your prize of a 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 Birthday Blog Hop Challenge 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?

And now on to our final challenge of 2023!


Our usual fantastic prize will be up for grabs: a $30 voucher from our generous sponsor The Paper Shelter, 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. 

Everyone at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you all again on January 17th when Team A return with their new challenge. 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

 Good Morning to all our loyal followers!


It's that time of the year!  Time to celebrate The Paper Shelter's birthday with a 

🥳SPECIAL BIRTHDAY PARTY🥳

and we do that with a Blog Hop!

This year, The Paper Shelter store is celebrating their 13th Birthday on the 8th of December, and we would like to invite you to celebrate with us, by joining in on our Blog Hop.  Both teams are taking part, and we have a wonderful selection of Paper Shelter images to showcase for you along the way.  The best part??? YOU get all the presents!

As you make your way through the Blog Hop, all you need to do is leave a comment on each Team Member's blog, to be in line to win one image of your choice.  At the end of the Blog Hop, each Team Member will choose a winner from one of the comments on their blogs, and we'll have a special post with the names of all our lucky winners.

Don't forget to leave a comment on this post as well, because we'll choose a winner from those comments too.

We're also running our usual challenge, so you can enter your projects here as usual, to be in line to win our fantastic prize, and the normal challenge rules apply.  The Blog Hop and challenge will run for 2 weeks, so you have lots of time to enter and play along.

Our theme for this SPECIAL CHALLENGE is:
