09:00 Vannessa No comments

 Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome back to this week's new challenge. Our challenge this week is a nice easy one and a great way to make your card or project even more beautiful!  It is...

Embellish It!

You can create any project you like and can use any image as long as your project includes an embellishment of some kind. You could add ribbon, pearls, die cuts, gems, buttons, twine and so on!   There are so many fabulous images and colouring books in The Paper Shelter store, so why not pop on over there and treat yourself to a new one for this week's challenge?

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, fabulous 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 

Winter Blues Challenge

The lucky person chosen by Random Org is:

Congratulations to Nanna Connie!

We now have a quicker way for you to claim your prize of 3 products from the Paper Shelter Store for using a Paper Shelter image 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 Winter Blues Challenge #621 Winner in your subject line, so that it makes it easier for Pedro 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 up to 6 digital products from 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 fabulous 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.





Julie using A Walk in Style



Maria Tinyworks using: Victorian Christmas Ladies 

Natascha using Coffee Break


Merja using Snowman Maven
 

Nicola using Elegant Era Muse


Kel using Ballerina


Patsy and Priya are both taking a break this week.

 Aren't Team B's projects all so stunning?! 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 Embellish It! 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 "Embellish It!". We are all looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Challenge #621 - Winter Blues

09:00 Linda Mc Enery No comments

 Good Morning everyone, and WELCOME BACK!

I hope you've had a super festive season and got to spend special moments with your loved ones.

We're thrilled to kick off the new year with our first challenge, and we'd also like to introduce 4 new DT members, joining us from today.  It's always sad to say goodbye to team members, but we send off those ladies leaving us, with our very best wishes, and warmly welcome our new ladies.  We know you'll find wonderful inspiration in what our new ladies create this year.

Please welcome Kitty, Helen, Jenn and Gale to the team.

Our theme for the very first challenge of 2025 is:
WINTER BLUES

Those of you in the Northern hemisphere will be experiencing deep Winter right now, but hopefully not feeling blue about it.  This week's project can be either WINTER themed, and/or you can use shades of BLUE on your project.  

You can see what the team, along with our new ladies, have created for this theme below, but let's first name our lucky winner from our CHRISTMAS BREAK CHALLENGE:

Here are your random numbers:
