11th Birthday Blog Hop -- for The Paper Shelter

 Good Morning lovely crafters!

Welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 11th Birthday on the 8th of December!  This will be a two week challenge, with both teams taking part.


The theme for this special challenge is:

CELEBRATIONS

My birthday growing up used to be spent camping with my family.  That often included s'mores around the campfire, so I couldn't resist coloring up A Christmas Campfire for today's celebration.

I colored A Christmas Campfire with Copic markers and used papers that I found at Pixel Scrapper to construct the card. They were from the Kumbaya papers, and were digital. The die cut elements are all from Crafter's Companion.

If you've arrived here from Cristena, then you're heading in the right direction!  If not, then you'll want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, because you don't want to miss out on this one.  Both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter, 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 Blog.


From here, you will need to hop on over to Mesi.  Don't forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store!

Good Luck!  Hope you've enjoyed the Hop so far!
