NEW CHALLENGE AT THE PAPER SHELTER–BIRTHDAY WISHES

Happy Wednesday, it's time for a New Challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.    Before I get to the details of the challenge, I just want to say sorry for my absence of posts recently.  My kids went back to school today and the past few weeks have been just insane getting ready for that as well as my older son’s soccer tryouts and first few weeks of practices and scrimmages.  Then, on Sunday, my laptop stopped booting up and I have been without it since Monday.  I am supposed to have it back today.  I am thankful to have other computers in the house, but I adore my laptop and I miss having it and being able to transport it vs. being stuck in one room at the same desk with the desktop computer that is ethernet connected.

 

Anyway, if you are unfamiliar with The Paper Shelter Shop, I suggest that you go pay a visit, they have so many awesome images and they come with digi papers, backgrounds, etc.  Plus, there's a customer rewards program that is awesome.   Trust me, you will love it!!

 

We also have a weekly challenge, with each DT team rotating weeks, so this week it is Team B hosting the challenge.  Challenge rules can be found here and our New Challenge can be found at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is BIRTHDAY WISHES!

 

Our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro, owners of The Paper Shelter, and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend at The Paper Shelter Shop - you win this prize if you have used one of their products on your card, this could be an Image, Backing Paper or Printable.  If you do not use one of their products for your creation, they will give you a prize of 3 digi images of your own choice from The Paper Shelter Shop - wow, you can't beat that!  Please don't forget if you wish to enter several times that we limit this to 3 entries and at least one of those must carry one of our The Paper Shelter Shop products.

 

For my card this week, I chose

Birthday Present digital image

from The Paper Shelter Shop, I colored her with Copics and cut out using the Print and Cut feature on my Cameo.

I used papers from Doodlebug Designs, stickers from my stash, bling dots from Your Next Stamp, ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and a cupcake charm from my stash that I tied on with hemp cord.  Flowers are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 

 

As I often do, I decided to make a fancy fold card.  I think I saw this called a “double fold” somewhere, but not sure exactly where I found it.  I think it displays the image really well.

 

 

I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!  Hugs
