The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Crafters, wow its really cold here in the United Kingdom and no doubt a lot of you are also in the same boat, I wish I could afford to move to a warmer climate in the winter but I suppose thats just my wish not sure if the rest of you feel the same. Anyway this weeks Challenge is going to be rather a difficult one "Shopping Spree" and unfortunately if I had given it a bit more thought perhaps its a theme I would not have chosen but I hope you will prove me wrong and go with it and show us just what you can come up with.
Last weeks Challenge "Christmas is Coming" was certainly very popular we had over a 150 entries and I know that Marie is always delighted when the theme goes down so well and it sure did and the lucky person who was chosen by Random Org is :-

Well done Avril and congratulations we now have a quicker method

of collecting your prize and that is by clicking on the "Contact Tab" at the

Top on the Tabs Bar it will give you a form to fill up with your choice

of 3 Digis and can you make sure you put Challenge #138 in the subject bar

and please also dont forget to add your email address to make it easier

for Veronica to sort out your images and get them to you quickly.

As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30.

But as I always say that this comes with the rule that you must have used one of their products on your card and that could be a Image, paper or printable, and believe me when I tell you they are stunning and of very good value, and they always have lots of special offers on the new images which are coming on line in their library weekly. You will find their website The Paper Shelter here so do please pay them a visit and browse and hopefully buy something you really like.
And now for the part of the Challenge I love the best, showing you what my Design Team have created for you, but firstly I have some very sad news Janie has had to leave due to personnal problems so Angela has already taken her place on the Design Team, and because Louise left a couple of weeks ago and that Debs and Lorraine are just standing in as Guest Designers until January, it was necessary to find another Team member to join us then and I have been lucky enough to have Anne who has agreed to join us, and even better for this week she is standing in for Judith who was unable to get her card done due to several problems that didnt allow her enough time to get her card done. So I want you to welcome both Angela and Anne to my Design Team, and even though Anne wont officially start till the New Year she will no doubt take part in any of the remaining Challenges left till then, and in a fortnights time we have a very special one so do come back for the 4th December to see what we have in store for you as its very exciting and worth taking part in it.
