Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome back to this fortnight's new challenge. We have a really fun one for you this time!

Remember each challenge will now last for 2 WEEKS, so that gives you extra time to add your cards and projects each time. And remember you can enter up to 3 projects/cards in each challenge as long as one of them includes a project from The Paper Shelter store.

As you know by now, all of 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...

You can create any project you like and can use any image, but if you want the chance at double entries to this fortnight's challenge, then create something that uses elements from the above board. Can you complete a row? Or what about a full house as some of our DT members did?!

Remember using one of the fabulous stamps from The Paper Shelter also 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!

Our design team members have all made a fantastic collection of cards and projects this time, using 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 Darlene!

Thank you so much for joining in the challenge this time with your stunning card! We now have a quicker way for you to claim your prize of 3 products 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 ATG/Challenge #666 Embossing 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 23rd March?

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 our Design Team and their fabulous cards using so many different gorgeous images this week for our favourite things challenge! I know you will love them and I'm sure you will find lots of inspiration from them for your own cards and projects.

We are also saying a sad goodbye to Merja, who has been on the DT for a very long time now. Her fabulous creations will be sorely missed and we wish her all the very best for her future adventures.

Aren't these projects all so amazing?! I love how many different images have been used on each of these cards and how the DT members have used this week's optional twist of using our tic-tac-toe board. The designs of every project are just so fabulous! 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/
Tic-Tac-Toe". We are all looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it. Remember this challenge will last for 2 weeks so will close on Tuesday 24th March, so plenty of time to get your cards and projects in!
