The Paper Shelter Birthday Blog Hop

Good Morning fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop. This is in celebration of reaching their 5th Birthday on December 8th. It will be a two week Challenge and both Design Teams are taking part.


The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is a "A Special Birthday"theme, which I know is extremely popular! If you have landed here from Sam's blog then you're heading in the right direction - if not then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, as you'll not want to miss out on this one! Our Design Team have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter website and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.

  13. Vanessa, it's amazing how productive you've been! I hopped over from the Paper Shelter but couldn't help glancing at all the great projects you've done since this hop started a few days ago! Wow! I don't know how you do it, but I'm really impressed! Every one of your cards is beautifully done! I knew you were talented from seeing your work over at the Outlawz (I'm on the Twisted Thursday DT), and following your blog, but looking closely at the dates and seeing how many projects you've created in such a short time makes me appreciate your talent in a new way!
