Wishing You A Wonderful Christmas at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for our very last challenge of 2024 at The Paper Shelter. Can you believe the year has gone so fast!?

Our theme is ANYTHING GOES, so it's a nice easy one for you. It will run for 4 weeks while the design teams take their Christmas break.

I have to admit that I was spending a lot of time making things for Christmas and my son's birthday last week, so I got somewhat behind on things (perils of having a new Cricut machine to play with!). However, I thought that the new image 'Christmas Present Fairy' would be perfect for a gift tag. 

I added her to her digital background in Photoshop before printing out and colouring.

I gave her a fun colour scheme to match the presents on the background.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.

Thinking of You at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps, 

This week and next, rather than running our usual Blog Hop, the Design Team at The Paper Shelter is honouring our beautiful co-founder Veronica, who tragically left us on the 25th of September 2024.

Veronica was a kind, supportive, beautiful soul, who alongside her co-founder Pedro, produced the images we all know and love to create with.

There is a vacuum in the world today, where Veronica used to be, and we will miss her terribly.

Our theme has been changed to ANYTHING GOES/IN HONOUR OF THOSE WE LOVE.

I couldn't resist this super cute guy sitting on his cloud like a guardian angel! You can grab this image by clicking on the picture below.

I made the image my focal point and matted it on a couple of layers, with a simple sentiment. 

Of course I had to have some glitter and shine!

A Vintage Anniversary at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for some more inspiration for our challenge over at The Paper Shelter Blog. This week our theme is Include A Sentiment, which is super easy and could be for any occasion or just a hello!

I used Pg39 from our Vintage Nostalgia colouring book to make my parents an anniversary card.

I added my sentiment using Photoshop before printing the image to colour.

No embellishments are needed, as the image has everything already.
