We are so excited to be sharing our 400th challenge with you and, because it is such a major occasion, and because we have some incredible prizes to be won, this is a two week challenge.
Our theme this week is CELEBRATION and we are celebrating YOU - our Paper Players. Without YOU we would not have reached such a major milestone.
We thank all of you for playing along with us. We also thank our past designers and guest designers who have helped us bring you inspiration for 50 weeks every year.
The crafting community really is an amazing community and we have been lucky enough to have some wonderful sponsors offer up incredible prizes to our players. In fact, we have 40 - yes, that is FORTY - prizes up for grabs. Now, that's a way to celebrate :-) Prize winners will be randomly selected through random.org and announced on our page on July 18.
We really hope that you will play along with us over the next two weeks and help us celebrate. We also hope that you will visit our amazing sponsors.
As it is our 400th challenge, we have two of our original Paper Player design team joining us - let's say a huge welcome back to Ann Schach and Anne Marie Hile.
Before we get to the wonderful cards our design team have created to help us celebrate this week, let's take a look at the fabulous prizes from our very generous sponsors.
