Morning and Hello! Hope you had a great week with lots of fun and time for crafting. It's dark and dull here in Sweden since the day light changes again. And the other day did we even get some snow and last night the temperature was down below -8 C degrees. A kind of brrr but it makes our theme of the week ohh so fitting.

Theme of the week is set to

A Christmas related creation is what we want to see, just winter isn't enough

Please do check our rules before entering your card. They are just a few and very simple.

Challenge #271 - A Card for a Child

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers I hope you all managed to cope with the changes of the clock last weekend, I always find that the poor dog has more of a problem with it than us humans but as shes very time orientated I'm not surprised really everything she does is ruled by the time of day.
Anyway I hope you are ready for this weeks Challenge as we have a new Team member on the A Team and I'm sure you will be delighted with her stunning card, but this weeks theme is all about creating "A Card for a Child" and this can be anything you like I leave the choice of theme entirely up to you.
But before I go any further I'm sure you will want to know who the lucky person chosen by Random Org was for last weeks "Pearls" Challenge, and that person was :-

Congratulations Claudia and well done, we now have a quicker way for you
to claim your prize and that is by clicking on the "Contact" tab at the
top of the Blog where you will find a form that you can add you choice of 3 digis
please can you also add you email address and Challenge #270 in the subject line
so that it makes it easier for Veronica to see which Challenge your claim is
for, also you must make sure you claim your prize by Saturday this week 

Also you must be aware by now that we are extremely lucky to have such a wonderful generous sponsor in The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of


$30 to spend on their website The Paper Shelter, and believe me when I tell you they have such a fabulous selection of not only Images, but Papers and Printable's to choose from, also they often have special offers too especially their latest images which are often sold at a reduced price. But if you have not used one of their products on your card they will still give you 3 digi's of your own choice, so you really cannot loose can you? But Please be aware that you are only allowed to enter 3 cards in this Challenge and one of these must carry one of our products.
As I have already hinted we have a brand new Team Member and that very talented design is Danny and she has been a very loyal follower of The Paper Shelter for quite awhile and even won a couple of Challenges along the way, and as I have also some very sad news to tell you that one of our long time Team Members Judith has had to step down for now due to family problems, I rather snapped up the chance to ask Danny if she would like to join the A Team in her place, and fortunate for us she agreed, and so without further ado here are the stunning cards the girls have come up with this week.

I always enjoy looking at the DT blog when the girls have uploaded their cards and are always astounded at the designs and layouts that the team come up with and this week I must admit that the cards are just out of this world and any child would love them. So I hope that you will decide to take part in this "A Card for a Child" Challenge and we look forward to seeing your creations.
