The Paper Shelter

Good morning to all our Paper Shelter fans. Today is a very sad day for all of us on the Paper Shelter Challenge blog team. 

The Paper Shelter Store has now closed. Pedro has made the very tough choice to close the store and consequently the challenge blog, as like many other small business owners at the minute, the store was not generating enough sales to cover the costs of running it and paying the fees that hide behind the store front.
It is with a very heavy heart that we all have to say a sad goodbye to you all.  
The blog will remain open for the time being for you to use as inspiration for the adorable images that Pedro and Veronica have created over the years. 

Thank you all once again for your support over the years with our challenges. 

I made this last card for The Paper Shelter

I have layered The Paper Shelter precoloured digi stamp and background from A Piggies Happy Place on to The Paper Shelter paper from Spring Swing.
Added flower, brads, butterflies and sentiment from Digital Artistry Daffodil Collection by Aimee Harrison.
