 Good Morning Paper Shelter followers!

It's an extra special day here today!  It's time for our SPECIAL CHALLENGE and BLOG HOP!



The Paper Shelter is turning 12 on the 8th of December, and to celebrate, we're not only running our usual challenge, but if you participate in our BLOG HOP, you'll also be in line to win one of 21 images, just for leaving a comment on each Design Team member's blog along the Hop.  

Before we get too carried away with the excitement, let's see who has won last week's WINTER CELEBRATIONS challenge:

Congratulations Dawn Frost!  

Brilliant colouring of your fun image!

You've won 3 digi images from 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 #536 Winner" to help Veronica spot your choices, and please make sure you claim your prize by this coming weekend.


Now let's get our celebration started!

Our usual challenge will run for the length of the BLOG HOP, so you have two weeks to get your entries in for this one, and our usual fantastic prize will be up for grabs: a $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 a black & white image, paper or pre-coloured image.  

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 enter a new project.  NO BACKLINKING!


Our theme for this challenge is:
CELEBRATIONS

In addition to the challenge, we're also running a 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 if you do, you could one of the winners, each winning one image of their choice, chosen by our Design Team members, from the comments left on their blogs.  There will also be a final comment winner, chosen from the comments left on this challenge post.  That's 21 opportunities to win an image, in addition to our GRAND PRIZE!

Below you'll find your journey through the Blog Hop, starting on my blog, visiting each DT member, and ending on Vannessa's blog, before making your way back here, to leave a final comment to let us know how you liked the Hop.  Each Design team member will have links for you to use, to Hop on over to the next stop on the Hop, but if you get lost, just make your way back here to use these links to make your way back to where you left off.

From all of us on the DT, we'd like to thank The Paper Shelter for sponsoring our challenge, and wish you a
VERY HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY!

Here we go...






We hope you have fun on the Hop, and find lots of inspiration from the teams!

Good Luck!

     Good morning to all our Paper Shelter friends and welcome to this week's new challenge! This week's challenge is a Fabulous colour challenge! We all hope you will all enjoy it as well! 

This week's challenge is …

Winter Celebrations

You can create any project you like and can use any image as long as your project uses the theme of Winter Celebrations. It does not have to be a Christmas card, but can be for any celebration with a winter theme. 

Team B have made a fantastic collection of cards and projects this time.  The DT members have all used so many different, gorgeous images for inspiration as well. Be sure to click on their blog links to find out more about each of the projects and the digi stamps they have used too. 

Before I share their cards though, I'm sure you are eager to know who won our 

Festive Colours Challenge

Congratulations to Pam Sebring!

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 Festive Colours Challenge #535 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. 

Please make sure your project is a new project for this challenge and not one that has been entered in previous challenges. No backlinking please. 

Now for Team B and their absolutely wonderful red, black and white coloured 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.

Vannessa using Fun In The Snow



Dewi using Little Hazel


Dawn using Fa-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la



Priyadarshini using It's cold out there

 Aren't Team B's projects all so wintery and just fabulous! I love how so many cute images have been used - the designs of every project are just so fabulous! Well done Team B and thank you so much for creating all these fabulous 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 "Winter Celebrations". We are all looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.
