Congratulations Fikreta!  

You've created such a fun background for the image and your colouring is wonderful!

You have won a $30 gift certificate to spend in the The Paper Shelter store.

We have a quick and easy way for you to claim your prize: Just click on the CONTACT tab at the top of the page, which will take you to a form where you can list your choices from The Paper Shelter store.  Please include "Challenge #493 Winner" to help Veronica spot your choices, and please make sure you claim your prize by this coming weekend.

Let's get our celebration started!

Our usual challenge will be taking place, and will run for the length of the Blog Hop - so you have two weeks to get your entries in.  Our theme for the challenge is:

CELEBRATIONS

Up for grabs this week is our usual $30 voucher from our generous sponsor The Paper Shelter, to spend in their store.

This fantastic prize will only be available if our randomly chosen winner has used one of our products on your project.  This could be an image, paper or printable.  

You can still be a winner, even if you haven't used one of our products, winning 3 digi images of your choice from The Paper Shelter store, so it's still worth entering!

You can submit 3 entries into our challenge, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

Please be sure to check our 'CHALLENGE RULES' tab at the top of the page, and make sure your entry is a new creation: NO BACKLINKING

In addition to the challenge is our Blog Hop.  This is our way of thanking The Paper Shelter for sharing their wonderful images with us throughout the year.  

There is no obligation to participate in the Blog Hop, but we all hope you will, because every DT member will be choosing a comment winner, from those who left a comment on their blogs, to each win an image of their choice from The Paper Shelter.  There will also be a final comment winner chosen from the comments on the challenge post.  So in addition to our challenge prize, we will have 20 individual prizes of one image each, up for grabs!

That sounds like a celebration to me!

Below you will find your journey through the Blog Hop, starting on my blog, and ending on Vannessa's, before making your way back here, to let us know what you thought of the Hop.  Each Design Team member will have links for you to use, to hop on over to the next blog, but if you get lost, just make your way back here to use these links to get back to where you left off.

From Vannessa and myself, as well as all the talented designers on the team, we would like to thank The Paper Shelter, for sponsoring this challenge and being a wonderfully supportive company to work for.

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

1st Birthday "Celebrations" Blog Hop and a 2 week Challenge

Good Morning Everyone, weve been promising to make an announcement of  a really Special Event thats taking place here next week on Wednesday the 7th December well here it is, Veronica and Pedro launched The Paper Shelter Website a year ago on this date, and as its been such a fabulous success they wanted to "Celebrate" their 1st Birthday in Style, and so to do this both Design Teams have come together to hold a "Blog Hop" but not just any old Hop, one with lots of fabulous prizes. They are offering you a chance to win one of 16 individual images by leaving comments on each stage of the hop and the best one will be chosen by that team member. The hop will start and end here at the Challenge Blog, but it doesnt finish there, if you leave just one more comment on how you enjoyed the hop you will stand a further chance to win one more here as well, so that makes 17 chances in all.

And if that wasn't enough, the Main Challenge itself, for just this once is to last two weeks and the winner when chosen by random number stands a chance of winning, (providing they've used one of The Paper Shelter products), a whopping $30 gift certificate to spend in their webshop, and even if they haven't used one of them, the prize has been increased to 5 digi stamps of their own choice. Dont you agree thats some awesome prizes?

My personal feelings are that I think to stand a better chance of winning that fabulous main prize, it might be a good idea to visit The Paper Shelter Website to see what stunning Images, Papers and Accessories they have to offer as they really are such very good value, and to treat yourself to a few as it would an excellent idea for this "Celebration" Challenge.

Before I sign of I want to thank not only Veronica and Pedro for their generosity in sponsering this Blog Hop and Challenge but also the Design Teams for all their hard work in making this a fabulous success. Dont forget to come back on the 7th for hopefully a very enjoyable Blog Hop and Challenge.
With Hugs Shirleyxxxx
