Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome back to this week's new challenge after our long summer break. We hope you all had a great summer and enjoyed time with your loved ones as we all did! We are glad to be back with a brand new challenge for you all today though.

All our challenges are now ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist each week. Should you include a card or project using the optional twist in our challenge, you will have double entries to win the fantastic weekly prize.

Our optional twist this week is...

Music To My Ears

You can create any project you like and can use any image as long as your project shows something musical in some way. You could include a character singing or playing an instruments, birds tweeting in the trees or even a piano shaped card! There's so many ideas you could choose from for this week's twist. Remember using one of the fabulous stamps from The Paper Shelter makes you eligible for this week's top fantastic prize of 6 digital products from the store!

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.

Congratulations to Ellibelle!

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 ATG/Summer Break Challenge 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 Monday 1st September?

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 full 6 digital products prize, 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 and each following our optional twist of Music To My Ears! I know you will love them and I'm sure you will find lots of inspiration from them for your own cards and projects.

Our fabulous DT member Patsy is also stepping down from the team after this week's challenge. I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Patsy for all her fabulous creations over the years. I wish you all the very best in the future. You will be missed so very much.

Aren't Team B's projects all so fabulous?! 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 Music To My Ears! The designs of every project are just so fantastic! 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.

And now it's over to you to show us what you can do with this week's challenge theme "ATG/Music To My Ears". We are all looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.

We are also looking for a couple of new DT members, so if you are interested in joining this relaxed, fun team, then please add DT to the end of your entry name.
