08:00 Nannieflash 9 comments

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well the time has come for me to hand over the leadership of the A Team to a very talented crafter as I promised to do so two weeks ago, and so I want you all to welcome and wish her

Linda Mc Enery

all the best in her new job. I want to thank her and the both A&B Teams, Vannessa and Veronica for allowing me to be such an integral part of The Paper Shelter for so long, I'm sincerely going to miss it and I do want to thank you too all the contributors of entries who have taken part in all the Challenges I have been part of, so goodbye and all the best to you all.


************************************


Good Morning TPS lovers!  Linda here...

First, I would like to thank Shirley for her beautiful introduction and take the time to say what I think we all feel, that Shirley's name is synonymous with The Paper Shelter's, and I can't even imagine this challenge without her running it.  Her creative talent, dedication, hard work and loving care have been the cornerstone of building The Paper Shelter into what it is today, and she has been a pillar of support and encouragement for both teams.  I'm sure I speak for Veronica, Vannessa, both design teams, and you, our loyal supporters, in wishing Shirley the very, very best as she pursues the next chapter of her life.  Though it is with sadness in our hearts that we wish her a fond farewell, we send her off with lots of love ♥️



With big shoes to fill, let's move on to this week's theme:

ACTIVITY, HOBBY, OR JOB

There's lots to explore there!  Whether it's a favourite activity like going for a walk with the dog, swimming in the ocean, gardening, or our favourite hobby, crafting, or maybe a career, like being a policeman, fireman, or stay at home mum.  They'd all fit this week's theme.


Before we get to Team A's inspiration this week, let's find out who the winner is from last week's PARTY TIME challenge.

You have won a $30 gift certificate!

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 #482" to help Veronica spot your choices, and please make sure you claim your prize by this coming weekend.

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.

We're seeing so many more entries using The Paper Shelter products lately, meaning our winners are getting to enjoy the grand prize of $30 to spend in the store, which is fantastic!


This week, the A Team have put together a gorgeous set of inspiration projects for our theme ACTIVITY/HOBBY or JOB!

  Good Morning to all our Paper Shelter Friends and a very happy hello from me. This week's challenge theme is a really easy one and we would love to see your wonderful creations with the theme of....

Party Time! 

This can be for a birthday or any other celebration - you choose which!

Team B have made a fantastic collection of projects, all so different, but showing a wide range of the gorgeous images available from the store.  I know you are going to love their projects.

Before I share their cards though, I'm sure you are eager to know who won last week's "Animals" themed challenge.

Congratulations Beebeebabs and well done!

We now have a quicker way for you to claim your prize of 3 digi stamps 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  Challenge #483 Winner in your subject line so that it makes it easier for Veronica to see your choices. Please can you also make sure you claim your prize by this coming weekend. 

As always for this week's challenge our sponsors are The Paper Shelter and they are generously offering a really fabulous prize of $30 to spend in 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 whole $30 to spend, 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. 

Now for Team B and their utterly amazing cards this week, 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 Team B's projects all just absolutely gorgeous? Well done Team B and thank you so much for creating all these wonderful 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.

Please don't forget, if you wish to take part in the challenge, that you are allowed to enter up to 3 projects but please can you make sure that you add one of our products to at least one of your entries. If you don't, unfortunately, you will not be eligible for any of the prizes.

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