A new challenge

Hi and welcome back to my little corner. Hope you're doing ok and don't have to fight any colds or flu's like we do here.

Today is the start of the last challenge for the year over at the Paper Shelter and the theme is Anything goes. We will not be doing any commenting for this challenge as me and Shirley has given our teams a well deserved break over the Holidays. They have been working hard all year long and really deserves it, and to be honest, I am a bit tired too. LoL We will be back with a new challenge for you again 9th of January when the B-team sets the first challenge of the year.

Also our blog hop has come to an end. A big thank you to all of you that has played along in our challenges over the year and to you who took the time to hop around both our teams blogs. We know that we are many and it takes time. :)

We all have chosen a winner that will receive a digi of their choice. The complete winner's list is found over at the Paper Shelter. You just has to claim it by visiting the Paper Shelter blog and tickle the e-mail elf and he takes you straight to Veronica and Pedro that will help you out. My winning comment comes from a very loyal player in our challenges and that is 

Crystal who said " This is the perfect end to the blog hop. The ladies have out done themselves this week and I for one and happy to say I can't wait to get my Paper Shelter images out once again and use some of their inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Cheers, Crystal"

Congrats! We love that you take the time to play with us so often and we love what you do. Congratulations once again. 

I also managed to make a card for this very challenging challenge. I am back with my Christmas cards and this one is made for one of my youngest' teachers in kindergarten. A box card filled with chocolates. And let me tell you that there was a whole bunch of yummie! coming out from all the teachers. They are so sweet and all get so very happy. It makes it worth the whole process of making about 10 extra advanced cards for teacher's, kitchen- and cleaning staff that get forgotten almost all the time. Totally worth it! :)

I have used my another one of this years Christmas digis called Are you ready my friend? It's so cheerful and sweet. They are coloured with my Letraset family and decorated with flowers from my stash. Also a big snow flake made with a die from Whimsy stamps and a plastic one from You Do I think. Hope you like it! Designer papers are from Dove Craft. The stamped snowflakes ia a Magnolia stamp. 

Love n hugs
Marie
