The Paper Shelter?

[stampertammy]

I'd appreciate knowing if anyone has any experience with this company and their images? I received an email yesterday informing me that I have a gift certificate to use. I'm assuming they're just offering it to people in an effort to get their company some exposure, but I'm not really keen on the idea until I know a little more about the company. Anyone?

Thanks!

I've never heard of this company, but it looks like they have some really cute images.

I emailed them back and asked for a little info, and this is the response I got...

Hi, Tammy!

My name's Pedro, owner of The Paper Shelter. I'll be glad to answer your question. Me and my wife (Veronica Atanacio, owner of Folkvangar, Digital Art,Fantasy Art, Graphic Resources, Scrapbooking, Clipart, Fantasy Characters & Gothic Art by Veronica Atanacio) just opened The Paper Shelter few days ago. In order to promote the site just visted some of the pages, web-rings, blogs, etc related to digital stamps, digital scrapbooking etc. and sent some gift certificates to the talented owners of those sites (you're one of them). We just think you may find some nice and lovable resources to use on your beautiful paperworks, and maybe send us some pictures of your creations to proudly show them on our site!

In the complete message sent with the Gift Certificate I wrote a little information about that, but I suppose you just received the plain text part (which unfortunately really seems like a robot lol ) Sorry about that. I'll fix this to send the same message on both.

I'm glad you loved our images! I drawed all of them. It would be geat to see some of them on your creations!

Warm regards.

P.S. the store has just opened, and there are few products now, but I promise the catalog will grow a lot soon! XD

I usually don't care to use digital images from a company that I know nothing about because of issues with "stealing" images and ideas, but I don't recall seeing anything similar to their designs anywhere else. There is one image in particular that I'm just nuts about, so I think I'll get it and use it once or twice for the heck of it.

I have bought quite a few images from the Paper Shelter and they are also sponsoring an upcoming challenge on my challenge blog. They are definitely legit and have great images that you can guarantee are not copied from anywhere. I wish I had got a free voucher!
