And the Winners Are . . .

My very first blog challenge has come to an end, and I want to thank every single one of you who took the time to enter! I have so enjoyed looking at your cards--you are a TALENTED bunch of ladies! You all have certainly inspired me to not procrastinate this year and to get my Christmas cards done early. And it doesn't hurt that I now have 30 fabulous designs to work with and so many new blogs to follow! I hope that each of you is inspired too--that's the whole reason for the challenge! So, without further ado (since I can talk forever), the two winners of $25 gift certificates from Papertrey Ink are:

Random Drawing Winner: Melissa Ladd



Jill's Favorite Entry Winner: Michelle Philippi


Congratulations, Melissa & Michelle! Please email me at anjill@cox.net with the email address you'd like your gift certificate sent to.

It was sooooo hard to choose a favorite, and yet I'm going to do it again! In January, I will be having another challenge with the same prizes. I'm not sure what it's going to be called yet, but it will be a birthday card challenge--I would be honored & thrilled if each of you choose to enter that challenge too!

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making my first challenge such a friendly, creatively inspiring experience! May I be the first to wish each of you a Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Glorious Winter!
