Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I do so hope you enjoyed taking part in our recent DT Call and that you are not to disappointed if you were not chosen this time we shall be having another Call in September you can try again then and if I were honest with you and if you really want to stand a chance of being chosen, its a good idea to start practicing on one of our images as it gives us a better idea of your ability to colour them.
Anyway this weeks Challenge is all about "Spring Delights" and hopefully it has started to bloom in your neck of the woods to we either had extremes of rain or snow this last winter and if you anything like me roll on the better dry and warmer weather, and this weekend the United Kingdom put their clocks forward by an hour so it looks as its finally on its way.
And before I go any further I know you will want to know who was the lucky winner of last weeks "More than 5 Flowers" Challenge and that person chosen by random org is :-

And now I have some very sad news this week as this is the last Challenge our very loved and talented DT member Eileen is with us, she has decided to step down to give not only another and very talented person to take her place Nikki S (who you will meet with our next Challenge on the 9th April) but to spend more time with her family and to do other things as well. So Eileen all the best for the future and please do come back and visit us again very soon as we are going to miss you.
So its time to show you what the girls have been up to this time and to say a very big thank you to them for all their support and stunning and beautiful work they create time after time.




























Well I hope that all the girls hard work has helped to inspire you to take part in this weeks "Spring Delights" Challenge and I look forward to seeing what you come up with, dont forget that if you wish to enter more than one card, you are only allowed to enter 3 cards and one of those MUST carry one of the The Paper Shelter images on it.

Our New Design Team Members

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, we have at last chosen the final five that are to be our new Design Team members, but firstly I want to thank all those that took part in our recent Design Team Call and to say if you were not chosen this time please come back again in the future for another chance of being chosen.

We were blown away by all the beautiful cards that were entered and to say that Marie, who did all the hard work organizing and making this DT Call possible and Veronica who generously gives her time and talent with the gorgeous images we use and sponsors us and many other Challenges, and myself to say we had quite a job chosing the final five was difficult is putting it mildly, as the colouring standard was stunning as was the card design and those who shone out and were eventually chosen are:-

Nikki S will join my A Team and take part in her first Challenge on April 9th and Nikki, Carolyn,Vanessa and Colette will join Marie in the B Team and their first Challenge is on April 2nd,  and so it will give them time to meet the rest of the Design Teams and also to see how it all works and to introduce themselves as well.
I do hope when they do take part in their Challenges you will give them a very warm welcome and lots of your very famous love you give us already. Thank you again for taking part and we are thrilled that your really enjoy being part of our Challenge Blogspot as we love having you.
And my very final comment is to thank Marie for all her hard work on running a very fair DT Call.

Love and hugs,
  Shirley and Marie
