 Good Morning everyone!

I hope your week is going well so far!  It's mid-week, and time for another fun challenge.  We're about to begin February (can you believe it?!), so we thought it would be a good idea to choose

SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH F

for this week's challenge.

You can choose February of course, but anything that begins with F will work: fairies, frogs, fish, flowers, friendship.  Be sure to check out our challenge rules, and then have fun!

The team have put together a wonderful array of 'F' ideas, but before we take a look at them, let's find out who has won last week's ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE challenge:

09:00 Vannessa 3 comments

 Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome back to this week's fun, new challenge! Team B are so happy to be back after our winter break and we are looking forward to seeing your fabulous creations again!

This week's challenge is …

Anything But A Square

You can create any project you like and can use any image as long as your project uses any other shape EXCEPT a square. Any square shaped cards or projects will not be eligible for the prize this week.

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 

All Things New Challenge

Congratulations to Yvonne!

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 All Things New 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?

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 fabulously shaped cards using so many different gorgeous images 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 and how each DT member has used this week's theme of no square shaped cards. The designs of every project are just so fabulous! Well done Team B and thank you so much for creating all these amazing 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 "Anything But A Square". We are all looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.

Challenge #579 - All Things New

09:00 Linda Mc Enery No comments

 Good Morning Paper Shelter followers, and 
WELCOME BACK!

I hope you've had a wonderful break over the festive season, and that you're feeling ready for a new year and all it's possibilities.

We're going to kick off 2024 with an appropriate theme this week:
ALL THINGS NEW

Perhaps you, or someone you love has made a New Year's resolution, or there's a new baby or new relationship that needs to be celebrated.  Maybe someone you know is moving into a new home, or starting a new job.  I'm sure you'll have lots of events to choose from for this one.  You don't have to make a card, you just need to follow the theme, and be sure to check our challenge rules.

Before we announce our lucky winner from our month long CHRISTMAS BREAK CHALLENGE, I have two announcements:

First, we'd like to welcome a talented new Design Team member, Cathie.  We're so excited to have Cathie on the team, and I'm sure you'll find lots of inspiration in her designs.

Second, we have a brand new FACEBOOK PAGE, and we'd love for you to join us there.  You'll find all the usual inspiration from the team, and you'll be able to share all your Paper Shelter creations with us there too.  If the link doesn't work for you, just search Facebook for The Paper Shelter Fan Group.

On to our winner!

Here are your random numbers:
