Birthday Blog Hop

Good Morning, welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, it is in celebration of their 6th Birthday on December 8th.  It will be a two week Challenge and both Design Teams are taking part.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is A Special Birthday theme.  If you have landed here from Audrey 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,  you'll not want to miss out on this one!  Our Design Teams have worked very hard and are showcasing some of the gorgeous images that are available from The Paper Shelter Website 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.

This is the card that I have created, it is for a special friend of our family - my eldest son is teaching her to play the guitar so I thought this image called Melody would be perfect.

I have used the Composition and printed it several times so that I could fussy cut some decoupage layers. 

I also used the matching Background Paper to decorate the inside of my card.

From here you will need to hop on over to Colette, don't forget to leave a comment for a chance of winning your choice of one of the fab digis available in store.

Thank you for joining me today and good luck on the hop.
