Anyway todays challenge is all about "Birthdays" some of you may know that I have a extra big one coming next Monday and Im a bit to embarrassed to say out load exactly what it is as it makes me sound so old. Never mind my insecurities Im sure you will make some fabulous cards all the same.
But before I go any further you will want to know who the lucky person is who won last weeks "Easel Card with a Christmas theme" and that person picked by random org is:

Challenge # 90 - Easel card with X-mas theme

Good morning and welcome to us here at the Paper Shelter. Hope your week has been the most wonderful one and that you are ready for a new challenge from us here at the Shelter. This week we are doing Easel cards with a Christmas theme. Fun and useful right? When my kids saw me making mine for this challenge, they wanted to try as well. So three days with easel cards are now over as I refuse to have them both in my crafting room at the same time. LoL

I have lost a few of my designers (sobbing here) lately and have now managed to find the most wonderful guest designers that has promised to stay on to the end of February next year. Sounds forever, right? LoL But the fact is that it's only one month and 10 days before Christmas today and we have some lovely challenges coming up during this time, so stay with us. Back to my newly found members; please give a warm welcome to Lucy from Australia and Wendy from South Africa. A big welcome to my team. You have no idea how happy I am to have you with me.

My "old" teamies has also been doing their magic as you will see in the end of the post. Lots of inspiration for you all for this challenge. :) But we seem to have a special love for the Carol Singers here on the team. LoL You have to get over to the TPS store as well as there is a sale going on. A coupon to use that gives you a fairly good discount on your purchase. Please check the post before this one to find the code and what you need to do to get the discount.


We have a winner from last weeks challenge as well and that is number 31 Jan Farnworth. Your card is lovely! Congratulations! You have won the gift voucher worth $30! So you have a lovely stash of TPS images of your choice coming your way! Enjoy your winnings. Just click the e-mail elf and he takes you to the Paper Shelter where Veronica is waiting to help you sort out your prize. Congrats once again!

To have the same great winnings as Jan here did, use a TPS image on your creation. Playing with another brand is giving you the chance to win 3 (three) digis of your choice, not too bad that either.So here comes this weeks inspiration for you all and hope to see you back soon with some creations for our challenge!

Challenge #89 - "Fairies and Elves"

Good Morning Crafters, brrrr the weather is starting to get colder and Monday night we had a real hard frost, but I thought that we would try and bring you just a bit of summer warmth for probably the last time this year and for this weeks Challenge we want to see your "Fairies and Elves" on your cards, and I know there are lots images around for you to choose from especially from The Paper Shelter, though one of my team got her wires crossed this week (can you find her) and has used Father Christmas instead though her redeeming thought at the time was "Santa's little Helpers (Elves)" but realised she picked the wrong image, never mind I hope you play along with us anyway and smile at her mistake.
But before I go any further you will want to know who won last weeks "Anything Goes" Challenge, and WOW what a response my fellow Team Leader Marie will be so happy she had over 200 entries, well done, anyway that lucky person picked by random org is:-

Well done and congratulations Danielle if you click on the email

need to contact to receive your prize of 3 digi images.

And as usual our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter, and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.


But as always there is a rule, you must use one of their products on your card either a Image, Papers or Printable, and believe me when I say they do have a brilliant selection for you to choose from please do give them a visit and browse for yourself. But even if you dont  use one you will still win 3 digi images of your own choice, you couldnt ask for anything better could you? And dont forget if you enter more than once you are only allowed three entries and one of those MUST have a TPS image on it.

And now I want to bring you the beautiful and stunning cards my Design Team have created for you and I do hope that you will give their blogs a visit and leave them some love for all their hard work. I want to thank them also for their support in keeping this Challenge Blog one of the best on the net.
































Wow arent they gorgeous and we forgive Marcea for her mistake I hope you enjoyed looking for her card, youve got to agree its a real cutie anyway. Now that youve seen what the girls have created for your inspiration I do hope that you will want to take part in this "Fairies and Elves" Challenge.
