I must apologise for taking longer than I expected to publish this list but I had to wait for all the Design Team members to get back to me with their own comment winners.
I will give you the list of winner in just a moment but first I will give you instructions as to how  you can claim your prize.

You can firstly pick an Image from The Paper Shelter website so here is the link for you to browse and then you need to go to

And then at  the top of the Challenge blog is a bar with several boxes on it and the last one along is the "Contact" box and its this one that you will need to click on and this will bring up a page for you to fill up with your choice of image or images if you've won more than one, you will also need to make sure you give your

1. Name:
2. Email Address/Blog Address
3. Your choice of Image
4. And please Can you also Put that you are a
Blog Hop Winner.

I have emailed Veronica with a full list of all the winners and she will check that you are a winner and will get back to you as soon as she is able to do so, but as she is in Argentina and maybe you are anywhere else in the world it might take a little time to sort out your request but you will get your image as soon as she is able to send it to you.

But before I do show you their cards I know you will want to know who the person was who won the

This part of the post is slightly different than usual as we will only be showing Marie's (B Team Leader) and my own Cards here and to see the rest of the Design Teams Cards you will need to take part in the Blog Hop itself, but as Ive already explained its not compulsory to do so but you do stand a better chance of winning one of our gorgeous images as each of the blog stops will be giving One Image away after the Hop has finished. And we have 18 images to give and this is done by each of the blogs picking their winner from their comments left for their cards. And believe me you will be missing some really stunning cards if you don't take part.
To help you along the way I will list all the blogs in order below my own card so that if you find that when you get to the next person on the Hop and the Blog is missing you can return to the Challenge Blog here and then restart by picking up the next stop on your way.  
But before I do that I want to thank everyone who has taken part in our Challenges over not only the last year but also in the past and for making The Paper Shelter such a great success, and a Big Thank You also to both The Design Teams for working with me and creating such stunning cards and especially Marie who has worked with me for the last 7 years as well, and a very Special Thank You to Veronica and Pedro for all their hard work in creating the images we have the Joy to receive and Play with. 
And now is the Time to set the Blog Hop in motion, have fun and enjoy visiting the Design Teams and I'm sure you to will be blown away by their stunning Cards:-

Patty Sue's link is now working, she has mobility problems at the moment and has to rely on family members to help her. Thank you for being so patient.
 I sincerely hope that you enjoy our Blog Hop and I wish you good luck in winning one of the Images that are on offer to you, and we have one last one to give away and that's here on the Challenge Blog, this will be picked from the comments left on here which I hope you will leave once you have taken part in the Blog Hop, I do hope that you will come back and do so and Thank you all for taking part. I will be back after the Hop is over to give the list of all the Image winners so don't forget to return then.

REMEMBER! 
You don't have to take part in the bloghop to join the challenge.

For the A Team this week it is a very sad one as one of our team members Marianne is stepping down we are going to miss her terribly as she has been with us for a long time and is extremely talented, so good luck sweetheart all the very best for the future from everyone. Also we seem to be down a few members to as Danny is hoping to take part but has had a nasty scare over the weekend but luckily she is now home from hospital but isnt sure she is going to be able to get her card done, and Anna is extremely busy and was unable to get her card done, so I hope you will forgive us as we are a bit short of cards this week but those that are here are absolutely stunning.
And the update on Patty is that she is home and doing well but wont be doing any commenting unless her grandson is able to help her as she has to rest her shoulder for a month before she is allowed to do anything with her arm.
