The Paper Shelter 8th Anniversary Blog Hop!

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


The blog hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is a "BIRTHDAY/ CELEBRATIONS" theme, which I know is extremely popular!

If you have landed here from Patsy'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 Teams 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 commentator a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.

I decided to go for a Christmas celebration card as the day is getting awfully close and I am not yet sure if I have enough Christmas cards. I used the adorable Fa-La-La-La-La, La-La-La-La and went for a bright red and blue colour combo. I added lots of liquid applique for the snow, ear muff and pompoms. The pompoms also have glitter added to them, but you can't see it too well in the photo!
