Challenge #485 - Activity, Job or Hobby - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Well its arrive Paper Shelter Followers this is my very last Challenge blog post for The Paper Shelter as Team Leader and as of today Linda McEnery is now the official Team Leader of the A Team with Vannessa as Team Leader for the B Team, so I hope you will give her all the help and support she deserves. I'm going to miss my fortnightly rushes to get my Challenge posts done and uploaded but it is time for me to pass on the baton to Linda and I know she going to do a brilliant job of guiding and leading the Team for Veronica our owner of The Paper Shelter with Vannessa's help. Good Luck girls and I hope you both enjoy it as much as I have for the past eleven years.
And also a very special  big thank you to my Team who have be have been more than anything they have been my very good friends, thank you girls, and also to those Team Member who have worked with me in the past.
Now for my very last post this weeks theme is all about
 
Activity, Job or Hobby
 
and I have chosen to use a image which portrays my step-daughters profession as she is a chemistry technician in a secondary School in London.
 But I think its time for me to get on and to remind you that you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from for this weeks theme to. Our Sponsors are and as always are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website. 
 

But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner. Please don't forget you are allowed to enter 3 projects but one of these must carry one of our images please as its only good manners don't you think.
And here is the image I chose to use
 

This image is titled "Science" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a square die to cut her out and a fancy larger on and pink card for the mount. The sentiment is once which I found on the internet and I have printed it and then mounted this onto a piece of the same pink card as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of the same pink card, the backing paper is the one from the same design set as the image and  you will find that here. Its a simple card but certainly has a punch.
Well I want to thank all those that have visited me here on my blog over the last 11 years while I have been a Team Leader, I may still upload the odd card now and again if I remember to do so, but my intention to retire and step down is to spend more time with my hubby and dogs, especially as one of them is now nearly 11 years and the other has mental problems coping with Epilepsy, ADHD and Autism he is getting more difficult to cope with new experiences and both hubby and I are having to watch ourselves not allowing him to get spooked by them.
 Now that you've seen my creation I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Activity, Job and Hobby" Challenge to.

Challenge #483 - Animals - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, its going to be difficult to express myself in this post as its going to be next to last post as Team Leader for The Paper Shelter which I have held since 2010, as from the 29th September I will be passing on the baton to a brand new Team Leader and I know she is going to do a brilliant job, but I will announce her name in two weeks time, so do come back then.
This weeks theme is a lovely one, having two dogs of my own I know a lot of us have pets and even more of you have adopted them during the lockdowns so the theme this week is
 
Animals
 
and I know you are going to enjoy taking part in this Challenge.
  But I think its time for me to get on and to remind you that you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from for this weeks theme to. Our Sponsors are and as always are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.

Please don't forget you are allowed to enter 3 projects but one of these must carry one of our images please as its only good manners don't you think.
For my own creation I chose this image
 

 This gorgeous image is titled "Hush, let her sleep" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card before colouring the image with my copic pens, afterwards I used a rectangle die to cut it out, and then with a larger one I cut the mat one out of black card and layered it on top. The sentiment is one I found on the internet and I printed it and then layered this also onto a piece of black card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mat of black card then on top I have used the backing paper that came with the image and you will find it here. 
I then placed the mounted image towards the top with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner, I also stamped Happy Birthday before the image.
  Now that you've seen my creation I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Animals" Challenge to.

Challenge #481 - Back to School - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well it must be only days before the children start filtering back to School, I know my own great grandsons will be starting back soon and I'm sure their parents will be glad to see them return to School as towards the end of the holidays they really start to get bored and need the stimulation of learning again.  So my choice of theme this week is

Back to School

and Im sure you can use a card to send to someone you know who would love to receive it.

For my own creation I chose this image
 

  He is titled "Back to School Madness" and you will find it here I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I cut him out with a square die and mounted him onto a larger one cut from blue card. The sentiment was printed from a verse I found on the internet and which I felt was appropriate for my card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first layer I used a dark blue card the same one that I used for my image and on top I used the backing paper that came with the image which you will find here. Then on top of this I placed my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
 Now that you've seen my creation I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Back to School" Challenge to.
