Good Morning Crafters, well its only a matter of a couple of weeks and Easter will be upon us so we've decided to get ahead and for this weeks Challenge we want to see your "Easter" cards and Im sure you are like me and have lots of little people who would love to receive one of your home made cards.
The response to last weeks "Punches and Dies" was brilliant and there were over a 100 entries and I know you will want to see who won it, but before I do that I want to express that the winner is always picked by Random Org, its not Marie's and My personal choice so please know that this is a absolutely random choice we just put in the number of entrants and then click on the box and whatever number comes up is the winner. And here is that lucky winner:-

Well done and congratulations Aunty Sue if you click on the email
Elf in the left hand bar it will give you the email address you
need to contact to receive your prize and please will you 
remember to add in your subject heading winner of
Challenge #102 and then it makes it easier to arrange 
for your prize of 3 digi Images to be dispatched to you.

As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. for you to spend on their website here


But as always this comes with the usual rule of you must have used one of their images or products on your card, but even if you dont they are still willing to give you 3 digi images of your own choice. The Paper Shelter has some really stunning images, papers and printables on offer and believe me when I tell you that they are of extremely good value especially as the exchange rate is brilliant at the moment, so do please go and browse and see for yourself and maybe you will be tempted to treat yourself, and you might even find some special offers to as there often are. Also dont forget if you are multi entering cards that you are only allowed 3 and one of those must have a TPS Image on it.

And now for the gorgeous cards my girls have been making for your delight, several even myself have made two cards and I hope you wont mind about that as if you have more than one little one to send a card to it helps to get ahead of the game. And as I have a brand new Great Grandson I think you could say I have a valid excuse for making two cards.

























Wow arnt those cards just stunning, I do hope that they have inspired you to take part in this weeks "Easter" Challenge. Thanks Girls and a very big welcome to my new Team Members Susan, Lydia, Janie and Judith for all your hard work in creating such beautiful cards without this I just would not have been able to show The Paper Shelter Images here to their very best.

Challenge 102 Punches and dies

Hello there dear crafters! We are back again with a brand new challenge for you here at the Paper Shelter. How do you feel about that? Great I hope as it is a very simple on this week. We have the theme of "punches and dies". Easy peasy right? So we want to see at least two dies or punched items on your card. Not that hard, if it's not easy to spot your die or punch, please tell what it is, oki? Great!

About a week ago did I introduced our new team members and this week is the first time up for our new B-team gals. Please welcome them all and pay them a visit. They are all amazing crafters, just like my senior designers. Please welcome 


The gift voucher

We do need a winner from last weeks challenge that was all about "animal magic". You know that you have the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30 if you play with a Paper Shelter product. Either a digi or designer papers, or both if you feel like it. Playing with another brand gives you a chance of winning three digis of your choice. So who is over winner then? Let's see who the lucky one is...

The winner is number #106 Jenny H

A big congratulation! 
You was clever enough to play with a TPS image and now you can go and get a whole bunch of new ones. :) The $30 gift voucher is yours! Please contact Veronica over at the Shelter by clicking the e-mail elf to the left. He takes you straight to the Shelter. Please write "Winner Challenge 101" in the subject line.

And here comes the inspiration for you all. You find all kind of wonderful card styles here this week and all the other weeks as well of course. :) And before I leave for this time I once more would like to thank all the designers that left the team. A big hug is sent to Bente, Angelique and Tracey M. Also a big thank you to Lucy who guest designed for me over three months. You were a rock! Thanks! We will miss you all.
Keep in touch!

Love n hugs
Marie and the B-team gals
