Christmas Break Challenge - Anything Goes with the Optional Twist of Christmas

09:00 Vannessa 3 comments

  Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome back to this week's new challenge. This week's challenge is our annual Christmas Break Challenge in which both teams join together again and share their fabulous creations with you all. We will be taking a two break this time, but we will not be commenting on your entries, so as to give our DT members some time to celebrate with their loved ones during the holiday season.

Our Challenge this week is...

Christmas

But if we did not celebrate Christmas, then please feel free to enter under the Anything Goes option instead. You can create any project you like and can use any image, but if you want the chance at double entries to this week's challenge, then create a Christmas themed card or project! 

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!

Both teams 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 

Birthday Blog Hop

The winners from all the comments on the Design Team members blogs as well as this one will be announced in the next couple of days in a new post, so keep your eyes open for that one! 

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 all of our design team members and their fabulous cards using so many different gorgeous images this week using this challenge's theme of Christmas! 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 the 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 Christmas. The designs of every project are just so fabulous! Well done to our fabulous team members 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.

We will be back on December 31st with our new challenge and some exciting changes in store for you all as well. I look forward to sharing all the details with you then! 

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

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
